Hippo Plumbing & Heating provides water heater repair, installation and replacement in Coquitlam and nearby communities. We assess the existing unit, fuel type, hot-water needs and installation conditions before discussing repair or replacement options. Equipment availability and price depend on the assessment, selected model and work required.
A control, thermostat or heating-element fault may be repairable, depending on the diagnosis and condition of the unit. A leak from the tank itself needs assessment to determine the source and whether repair is practical. When requesting a quote, share the fuel type, approximate capacity, access to the unit, and any visible leak or error code.
Water heater work may include diagnosis, repair, replacement or installation, depending on the unit and assessment. A control, thermostat or element fault may be repairable, while a leak from the tank body requires an assessment of its source and condition. The quote should identify the selected model, connections or modifications, and whether removal and disposal are included. Equipment availability and price depend on model and scope.
Request an assessment if there is no hot water, an error code, a visible leak, unusual noise, discoloured water or a change in performance. A failed control or element may be repairable; a tank-body leak needs inspection. The unit’s age alone does not determine whether repair or replacement is the better option.
A visible leak, unusual noise, rust-coloured hot water, a dripping relief valve, error code or reduced hot-water performance can warrant an assessment. These signs do not by themselves identify the cause or determine whether the unit should be repaired or replaced.
When requesting a quote, share the unit’s fuel type, approximate capacity, access to the equipment, and any visible leak or error code. Assessment helps identify the fault, compatible replacement models and any installation changes. Price, model availability and schedule depend on those findings. Gas work may require a permit from Technical Safety BC or a local authority; confirm the applicable requirements before work begins.
Before approving work, ask which model is proposed, what connections or modifications are included, whether removal and disposal are part of the quote, and what permit requirements apply to gas work. The responsible permitting authority depends on the equipment and location.

Our Guarantee

Tank or tankless, fuel type, hot-water use, available space and installation conditions can affect equipment selection. Recommendations depend on the home and assessment.
The quote should identify the selected unit and any required plumbing, gas, electrical, venting or removal work. Removal and disposal depend on the agreed scope.
A control or element issue may be repairable. A leaking tank requires assessment of the leak source and tank condition before deciding whether repair or replacement is appropriate.
When requesting service, share the unit fuel type, approximate capacity, access, visible leaks and any error code. Diagnosis and available repair options depend on the model and fault.
The condition of valves, connections and other safety components can be reviewed as part of the assessment. Any recommended work should be described in the quote.
Gas work may require a permit from Technical Safety BC or a local authority. Confirm which requirements apply to the proposed work before installation.
Some control, thermostat or heating-element problems may be repairable after diagnosis. A leak from the tank body needs assessment because the source and condition of the tank affect whether repair is practical. The decision depends on the fault, equipment condition and proposed work.
A leak needs assessment to identify whether it is from a connection, valve or the tank itself. If safe and accessible, shut off the water supply to the unit; avoid standing water near electrical equipment. Call (604) 365-0812 and describe the leak and any visible damage.
Price depends on fuel type, capacity, selected model, access and any plumbing, venting, gas or electrical changes. The quote and equipment availability can be confirmed after assessing the unit and installation conditions. Have the fuel type, approximate capacity and access details ready when you call.
The choice depends on household hot-water use, available space, fuel, venting and installation scope. Tank systems store hot water; tankless systems heat it as it flows, within the capacity of the installed unit. Compare the proposed equipment and total scope after an assessment rather than relying on a universal cost or savings estimate.
