Water Heater Repair in Pitt Meadows: Tank or Tankless?
Pitt Meadows has a lot of townhouses and newer homes where the water heater shares a garage or a small closet. When the old tank fails, many owners ask whether a tankless unit would save space and run better. Sometimes it does, and sometimes a tank is the smarter choice.
Call 778-798-4343. Daniel, a licensed Class B gas fitter, leads every repair and gives you honest options.

Tank or tankless for a Pitt Meadows home
| Tank | Tankless | |
|---|---|---|
| Space | Takes floor space in a garage or closet | Mounts on a wall, frees up the floor |
| Hot water supply | Limited to the tank size, then needs time to recover | Continuous, but limited by flow rate if several taps run at once |
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher, and may need a larger gas line and new venting |
| Upkeep | Flush sediment, check the anode | Clean the inlet filter, descale the heat exchanger |
| Power outage | Standard gas tanks often keep working | Needs electricity to run |
We’ll look at your gas line, venting route and how much hot water the household uses before recommending either.
What we fix most often here
On tanks: pilot assemblies, thermocouples, gas valves, power-vent blowers and leaking T&P valves. On tankless units: error codes from a clogged inlet filter, scale on the heat exchanger, ignition faults and flow sensors. Most of these are same-day repairs.
Pitt Meadows homes we work in

Pitt Meadows water heater questions
Should I replace my old tank with a tankless water heater?
It depends on space, your gas line, venting and how much hot water you use. We assess all of that and give you prices for both options.
Does a tankless water heater work during a power outage?
No. Tankless units need electricity. Many standard gas tanks keep heating during an outage because they don’t need power.
How much is a repair visit?
The diagnostic visit is $169 at any hour, with a written quote before any work.
Do you repair tankless error codes?
Yes. We read the code history and repair Navien, Rinnai and other gas tankless units.
