Tankless water heaters heat water as it flows through the unit rather than storing a tank of hot water. Their output is limited by the installed model’s flow rate and incoming water temperature, so simultaneous showers, taps and appliances affect the available hot water. Hippo Plumbing & Heating provides tankless installation and service in Coquitlam and nearby communities; model and repair-part availability depend on the equipment.
Sizing should consider the fixtures likely to run at the same time, their flow demand and the incoming water temperature. A conversion from a tank may also require assessment of gas supply, venting, condensate drainage, electrical service and clearances for the selected model. Maintenance needs vary by manufacturer, model and local water conditions; follow the unit’s instructions or ask a qualified technician.

The local details below come from the Burnaby service-area profile and help place this heating service in the context of the city’s homes and neighbourhoods.
Pre-war bungalows in North Burnaby often have galvanized water lines causing low pressure and rust-coloured water. Copper or PEX repipe restores clean, full-pressure water delivery and eliminates the corrosion problem.
Metrotown and Brentwood area highrise condos require licensed plumbers familiar with strata building systems — from suite repairs to risers, pressure-balancing valves, and common-area plumbing.
Burnaby's aging mid-rise rental buildings frequently rely on central boiler systems for heat and hot water. We service, repair, and replace commercial boilers for building managers throughout Burnaby.
North Burnaby's pre-war and wartime bungalows — many built in the 1940s and 1950s — are among the most plumbing-challenged properties we service. Original galvanized supply lines in these homes cause chronically low water pressure and rust-tinted water that won't improve until the pipes are replaced. Copper or PEX repipe permanently solves both problems and typically improves home resale value.
Metrotown and Brentwood are Burnaby's highrise hubs, with dozens of strata towers requiring licensed plumbers familiar with multi-unit building systems. From suite-level fixture replacements to pressure-balancing valve issues and common-area riser work, we coordinate directly with strata managers and property management companies to minimize disruption to residents.
Edmonds is a mid-century residential neighbourhood with housing predominantly from the 1960s and 1970s. Poly-B piping is present in the 1980s-built homes on the neighbourhood's eastern edge near New Westminster. We assess and replace Poly-B in Edmonds properties and also service the neighbourhood's older cast-iron drain lines that can crack and invite root intrusion over time.
Sizing discussion considers simultaneous fixture demand and incoming water temperature
Gas supply and venting reviewed for tank-to-tankless conversions
Maintenance advice follows the model and local water conditions
Model, repair-part availability and installation scope depend on assessment
Every job is handled by TSBC-licensed technicians using quality materials and equipment.
Selection depends on simultaneous fixture demand, incoming water temperature, fuel supply and the installation conditions. Available models depend on current stock.
Diagnosis depends on the unit, error code and symptoms. Repair options and parts availability vary by model and the fault identified.
Maintenance and descaling intervals depend on the manufacturer’s instructions, model and local water conditions. Check the owner’s manual or ask a qualified technician about the service needs of your unit.
If the unit stops producing hot water, note any display code and changes in flow or temperature. A technician can assess the cause and explain available next steps.
A conversion may require changes to gas supply, venting, condensate drainage or electrical service. Requirements depend on the selected model and existing installation and should be assessed before a quote is confirmed.
