"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."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tankless water heater installation cost in Coquitlam?
Tankless water heater installation in Coquitlam typically costs $2,500–$5,000+ depending on the brand, BTU capacity, whether a gas line upgrade is needed, and venting requirements. While the upfront cost is higher than a tank unit, long-term energy savings and the endless hot water benefit are significant.
Do I need to upgrade my gas line for a tankless water heater?
Possibly. Tankless water heaters draw significantly more BTUs than tank units during firing (up to 199,000 BTU/hr for large units vs. 36,000–50,000 for a tank). We assess your existing gas meter capacity and line size during the installation quote. If an upgrade is needed, we handle it as part of the installation.
What is the best tankless water heater brand for Coquitlam?
Navien, Rinnai, and Noritz are among the most popular and reliable brands we install in Coquitlam. All are well-suited to natural gas, have strong parts availability, and respond well to the Lower Mainland's water conditions. The best brand for you depends on your budget, flow rate needs, and desired features.
How often does a tankless water heater need to be serviced?
Annual maintenance is recommended — including descaling (flushing with a descaling solution), inlet filter cleaning, and a combustion check. Skipping annual maintenance is the most common cause of premature tankless water heater failure in BC.
