We dispatch a licensed installer to your location as quickly as possible, typically within 2-4 hours during business days. We keep popular tankless models and installation materials in our service vehicles for immediate installation capability.
On-Site Evaluation
Our installer evaluates your current system, determines why it failed, and assesses whether emergency tankless installation is the best solution. We check your gas lines or electrical capacity and determine what upgrades are needed for immediate installation.

Emergency Installation
We install your new tankless water heater as quickly as possible while maintaining code compliance and quality standards. This includes gas line or electrical work, venting installation, water connections, and system testing. Most emergency installs are completed in 4-6 hours.
System Testing & Hot Water Restoration
We test the entire system thoroughly, check for leaks, verify proper operation, and ensure hot water delivery to all fixtures. We don't leave until you have reliable hot water throughout your home.

If permits required expedited installation before full inspection, we coordinate the follow-up municipal inspection within days. We ensure everything passes inspection and provide you with all documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you install a tankless water heater in an emergency?
For true emergencies (no hot water), we typically respond within 2-4 hours and can complete most installations the same day, usually within 4-6 hours of arrival. This depends on your home's existing infrastructure and whether gas line or electrical upgrades are needed. We keep popular models in stock specifically for emergency situations.
Do emergency tankless installations cost more?
Emergency installations include additional costs for expedited service, same-day response, after-hours labor if needed, and expedited permit fees. However, we keep costs as reasonable as possible during emergencies. The premium over standard installation is typically 20-30%, which most homeowners find worthwhile to restore hot water immediately rather than waiting days.
What if my gas line or electrical service needs upgrading?
Our installers carry materials for common gas line and electrical upgrades and can complete these during emergency installations. If extensive electrical work is required (new panel service), we may install an appropriately-sized tankless model that works with your current electrical capacity, or coordinate emergency electrical service upgrades with licensed electricians.
Can you really get permits on the same day for emergency installations?
Many Metro Vancouver municipalities offer expedited emergency permits for situations where residents have no hot water. We maintain relationships with permit departments and know the expedited processes. In some cases, we can install with permits pending and schedule inspections for the next available slot. We handle all permit coordination so you don't have to worry about it.
