Professional Gas Water Heater Installation
Installing a gas water heater involves more than water connections. Safe installation requires proper gas line connections, ventilation, pressure relief setup, and compliance with British Columbia gas and plumbing regulations.
Incorrect gas installation can lead to leaks, carbon monoxide risks, and system failure. For this reason, gas water heater installation should only be performed by certified professionals.
Our Installation Includes:
- Inspection of your existing water heater and gas system
- Assessment of venting, airflow, and safety requirements
- Removal and disposal of your old water heater
- Installation of your new gas water heater
- Gas line upgrades if required
- Full system testing and safety verification
When to Replace Your Gas Water Heater
Most gas water heaters last 8–12 years. After this point, efficiency drops and the risk of
leaks increases. Replacing your gas water heater before it fails helps prevent water damage
and ensures your home always has hot water.
Common Signs You Need a New Gas Water Heater
- Water leaking from the tank or fittings
- Running out of hot water frequently
- Tank is 10+ years old
- Rust-colored water
- Loud popping or banging noises
- Gas smell or burner ignition issues
Gas Water Heater Installation vs Replacement
Gas water heater installation is required for new systems or when upgrading tank size or efficiency. Replacement involves removing an old or failed gas water heater and installing a new unit in its place.
Both services require proper inspection to ensure gas safety, correct venting, and reliable operation.
Signs You Need Gas Water Heater Installation or Replacement
- No hot water or slow recovery time
- Gas smell near the water heater
- Rusty or discolored hot water
- Water leaking from the tank
