"Kevin was prompt in arriving to fix my sink problem. He was very professional and extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be repaired. I was so relieved that he fixed the leaking sink issue with care and even explained exactly what needed to be fixed. His prices are very reasonable as well. I would highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs. Thanks again Kevin."

Boiler Installation in Coquitlam
Hydronic heating systems — using a boiler to heat water that warms your home through radiators, baseboard convectors, or radiant in-floor heating — are among the most efficient and comfortable heating solutions available. Hippo Plumbing & Heating installs residential and commercial boilers across Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland, with full gas and hydronic piping expertise.
Modern condensing boilers achieve efficiencies of 95% AFUE or higher, significantly reducing your FortisBC natural gas bills compared to older boiler systems. Combined with radiant in-floor heating, a high-efficiency boiler system provides the most even, comfortable heat available — with no air blowing, no ductwork, and no airborne dust.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does boiler installation cost in Coquitlam?
Boiler installation in Coquitlam ranges from $5,000–$15,000+ depending on the boiler type, capacity, and complexity of the hydronic system. Condensing boilers cost more upfront but deliver long-term energy savings. We provide written quotes after an on-site assessment.
What is the difference between a furnace and a boiler?
A furnace heats air and distributes it through ductwork. A boiler heats water and distributes it through pipes to radiators, baseboard heaters, or radiant floor tubing. Boiler systems are generally quieter, more comfortable, and — when using in-floor radiant heat — more efficient. They require no ductwork but do require a separate ventilation system.
Can you install radiant floor heating in an existing Coquitlam home?
Yes, though it's easier during renovation or new construction. In existing homes, we typically use a low-profile system installed over the existing subfloor (raising the floor height slightly) or, in some cases, under-floor staple-up installation. We assess your home and recommend the most practical approach.
How long do residential boilers last in BC?
A well-maintained residential boiler typically lasts 20–30 years. Annual servicing significantly extends boiler life and maintains efficiency. Hippo Plumbing & Heating offers annual boiler maintenance programs for Coquitlam homeowners.
