**Water Heater Installation Burnaby**
If your hot water tank is leaking, your showers go cold fast, or your unit won’t fire reliably, you need a safe replacement that’s installed

Choosing the Right System for Burnaby Homes
The best unit depends on your household size, bathroom count, and how you use hot water. We install and replace common residential setups in Burnaby,
including standard tanks and tankless upgrades.
Types we install
- Gas hot water tanks (atmospheric, power-vent where applicable)
- Electric hot water tanks (elements, thermostats, correct breaker/wiring verification)
- Tankless water heaters (proper sizing, gas supply verification, venting and condensate planning)
Common reasons homeowners replace
- Tank leaking or rusting at the base
- Water runs out quickly (undersized tank or failing components)
- Repeated ignition failures or safety lockouts
- Rumbling noises from sediment buildup
- High energy use from an aging system
Data-driven guidance we use on-site
- Typical tank lifespan: many residential tanks run about 8–12 years, depending on water quality, maintenance, and installation quality
- Performance checks we verify: stable outlet temperature, proper recovery rate, safe venting, and zero active leaks
- What changes price the most: venting upgrades, gas line changes, electrical corrections, access/space, and code-required safety items
- When tankless makes sense: limited space, stable gas supply, and realistic flow expectations for the fixture load
Water Heater Installation in Burnaby
Upgrading or replacing your water heater can boost efficiency, lower energy costs, and give you reliable hot water for years. Whether you’re switching to a tankless system or upgrading a traditional tank, our team ensures proper sizing, safe setup, and code-compliant installation tailored to your home.
In this video, you’ll see how we approach water heater installations with precision and care — from safe removal of the old unit to expert fitting, venting setup, and final performance checks. We focus on clean work, clear communication, and long-lasting results.

Safety Checks That Matter During **Water Heater Installation Burnaby**
Hot water systems combine pressure, heat, gas or electricity, and venting. Mistakes can cause leaks, scalding risks, combustion issues, or carbon
monoxide hazards. We take a safety-first approach and do not cut corners.
What we verify before we leave
- Water tightness: fittings, valves, and connections checked under pressure
- Temperature control: safe settings and stable output temperature
- Relief protection: T&P relief valve and discharge routing verified
- Gas safety (if gas): leak test, ignition behavior, and safe venting function
- Electrical safety (if electric): secure connections, correct breaker sizing, and clean wiring
If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide symptoms, get to a safe place and call emergency support first. Once it’s safe, we can assess the system
and recommend the correct next step.

- Mid range: replacement plus a few corrections (shutoffs, piping changes, minor venting changes, upgrades for safety)
