Frequently Asked Questions - Vancouver
Do I need special permits for tankless installation in Vancouver?
Yes, tankless water heater installations in Vancouver require gas permits (for gas models), plumbing permits, and sometimes electrical permits. We obtain all necessary permits from the City of Vancouver and coordinate inspections. Vancouver has specific requirements for venting, gas lines, and seismic restraints that we ensure are met. As licensed installers familiar with Vancouver's processes, we handle all permit coordination so you don't have to deal with City Hall.
Can tankless water heaters work in older Vancouver character homes?
Absolutely. We specialize in retrofitting tankless systems into Vancouver's beautiful character homes. These installations often require gas line upgrades (from 1/2" to 3/4" or larger), creative venting solutions through older construction, and electrical upgrades for controls. While more complex than new construction, tankless installations work excellently in character homes and provide modern efficiency without compromising the home's heritage. We've completed hundreds of character home installations throughout East Van, Kitsilano, and Mount Pleasant.
What's the cost of tankless installation in Vancouver?
Vancouver tankless installations typically range from $4,500-7,500 depending on home type, required upgrades, and system size. Character homes often require gas line upgrades ($800-1,500), adding to costs. Condos with compact spaces may need special venting solutions. New homes with existing infrastructure are at the lower end. We provide detailed quotes covering all work: unit, gas lines, venting, electrical, permits, inspections, and old equipment removal with no hidden costs.
How long does installation take in Vancouver?
Most Vancouver installations are completed in one day (6-10 hours). Character homes with extensive gas line work may require two days. Condos with building access restrictions may need coordination with strata management. Permit processing with the City of Vancouver typically takes 3-5 business days before installation. We coordinate timing to minimize disruption and restore hot water service as quickly as possible.
