FAQ

Water heater questions, answered

Tank water heaters in Vancouver typically last 8–12 years; gas tanks fail sooner than electric due to faster sediment buildup. Tankless units last 20+ years with proper maintenance. Signs it's failing: rusty water, rumbling noises, puddles under the unit, or running out of hot water faster than usual. We recommend replacing proactively at 10 years — a burst tank can cause $20,000+ in water damage.
Tankless saves 30–50% on gas bills (no standby heat loss), provides endless hot water, and lasts 20+ years. But it costs more upfront ($2,500–$5,500 vs $1,200–$3,500 for a tank) and may need a gas line upgrade. If you have a big family, take long showers, or are doing a reno anyway, go tankless. If budget is tight or you're moving in 5 years, a high-efficiency tank is fine.
A complete tankless installation in Vancouver runs $2,500–$5,500 installed, including the unit, gas line upgrade (if needed), venting, electrical outlet, permits, and gas inspection. FortisBC rebates of $500–$1,000 apply to high-efficiency condensing models. We carry Navien, Rinnai, and Takagi — all eligible for rebates. Free written quotes on every job.
Yes. We service every major brand sold in Canada — Rheem, Bradford White, Giant, John Wood, Navien, Rinnai, Takagi, Noritz, Bosch, and AO Smith. Our trucks stock common parts (thermocouples, igniters, thermostats, T&P valves, anode rods) so most repairs are done in a single visit. If your unit is under warranty, we handle the manufacturer claim on your behalf.
For a tank: 1–2 people = 40 gallon, 2–3 people = 50 gallon, 4+ people = 60 gallon or larger. For tankless, sizing is based on simultaneous fixtures — typically a 199,000 BTU unit handles two showers at once in Vancouver's cold-water climate (4°C groundwater). We size every system on site based on your home, family size, and hot water habits — never a guess.
Yes — 24/7/365. Call 604-615-2212 any time.
