Tankless Water Heater Installation Vancouver

Vancouver is rated one of the world's top five most sustainable cities. With its eco-friendly initiatives and 98% of its energy coming from sustainable sources, tankless water heaters are another opportunity where Vancouver homeowners can further implement its "Greenest City Action Plan" to make 100% of its energy renewable, greatly decreasing its carbon footprint. That's where we can help!

Whether you're looking to replace your old, outdated water heater or for some routine maintenance services on your already-installed tankless water heater, our team of installation professionals has you covered!

What To Expect From Our Tankless Water Heater Installation in Vancouver

Traditional tanks heat and store water all day. That's why they're one of the leading causes of unsustainable energy consumption in the home and high annual water heating costs. By eliminating systems that run on standby, energy losses can be greatly decreased and energy efficiency increased.

Vancouver homeowners who plan to upgrade their traditional hot water tanks to a tankless model need to keep a few factors in mind. One of which is the types of water heater you want to install:

Types of Quality Tankless Water Heaters:

• Gas-Powered Tankless Water Heater: Gas tankless water heaters tend to be the more popular choice for homeowners because they produce more hot water than an electric unit. However, they do require a new plumbing configuration because more traditional tanks don't have the correct hook-ups for tankless gas heaters.
• Electric Tankless Water Heater: Unlike gas heaters, electric tankless is easy to install and maintain but can only operate one outlet at a time. Because of this, electric heaters might not be ideal for larger families, but overall, electric heaters are more energy efficient and waste less energy than both gas and traditional water heaters.

FAQs About Tankless Water Heater Installation: Vancouver

When Does My Tankless Water Heater Need Replacement?

Tankless water heaters are designed to last about 20 years. Unlike traditional hot water tanks, which malfunction around the 10-year mark or less, your tankless water heater should be fine if you keep up with routine maintenance and upkeep, such as flushing and de-scaling.

How Much Does A Tankless Water Heater Installation Cost? How Long Does Installation Take?

Costs vary from model to model and the type of unit that you choose. They also vary in size and capabilities. But what makes the overall system so expensive is the initial upfront costs that also include intensive labor. New gas piping and water lines must be properly installed, as well as additional electrical wiring when opting for an electric tankless water heater. Since prices typically change periodically, we invite you to give our office team a call so they can give you up-to-date estimates of multiple units and a price range for the installation service.

Given that your Vancouver plumber has completed the inspection in advance and helped you remove your old water tank unit, the initial installation service can take up to three hours. Or more, if you have multiple units installed.

Can I Install a Tankless Water Heater Myself?

We always suggest hiring a professional plumber to install your tankless water heater. They can help you select the right size for your building and reduce the risk of installation mistakes, leading to long-term energy and operating cost savings.

Furthermore, a tankless water heater installation in Vancouver may require you to get a permit especially when it involves installing a gas-fire tankless water heater. Because it is a complex and dangerous process and local plumbing and electrical codes must be followed, hiring an experienced and licensed plumber is essential.

Improper installation can lead to floods, fires, electrical shorts, and gas leaks. These types of accidents are deadly, and no home insurance will cover any losses if they learn that you installed it yourself.

What Are the Advantages of a Vancouver Tankless Hot Water Heater?

Once you have a unit installed, you will start saving on energy costs in the first month. Homes that normally rely on a 40-gallon unit every day can reduce their energy usage by 34% with a tankless water heater installation. Vancouver homeowners will also benefit from a unit that has double the lifespan of a conventional unit with a tank. As an energy-saving method, these advantages are hard to top!

What’s the Downside of a Vancouver Tankless Hot Water Heater?

The major downside is the high upfront costs, which are typically the biggest dilemma that homeowners in Vancouver face. And as a water-on-demand unit, it can take longer for a tankless unit to deliver hot water, especially if you have a large household with a high demand for hot water. Inconsistent temperatures are also common. That’s when your Vancouver plumber may suggest installing multiple units.
