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.

The local details below come from the Coquitlam service-area profile and help place this heating service in the context of the city’s homes and neighbourhoods.
Thousands of Coquitlam homes built before 1995 have polybutylene piping. These grey plastic pipes are prone to sudden failure and may affect your home insurance. We specialize in Poly-B assessment and full replacement throughout Coquitlam.
Coquitlam's mature neighbourhoods have well-established trees whose roots routinely find their way into aging sewer lines. Camera inspection confirms the cause; hydro-jetting removes the intrusion and restores full flow.
Westwood Plateau and other Coquitlam strata communities have shared boiler and hydronic heating systems. Our technicians service all makes and models found in Coquitlam's townhome market, coordinating with strata councils when needed.
Maillardville is one of Coquitlam's oldest neighbourhoods, with housing dating back to the early 1900s. Many homes here still have original or early galvanized water lines and cast-iron drain systems — we see pipe failures and discoloured water calls from Maillardville regularly. If your home was built before 1970, a pipe assessment is strongly recommended.
Burke Mountain is Coquitlam's fastest-growing area, with hundreds of new homes built since 2010. Plumbing issues here tend to be installation-related rather than age-related — fixture defects, pressure problems, and warranty repairs in newer builds. We work directly with homeowners and strata councils on new construction deficiency resolution.
Austin Heights homes are predominantly from the 1970s–1990s, placing them squarely in the Poly-B pipe era. We perform Poly-B assessments and full copper or PEX replacement throughout this neighbourhood — including the written confirmation letters most home insurers now require for coverage of Poly-B properties.

Boiler Installation Emergency in Coquitlam?
(604) 365-0812A licensed technician answers every call — 24 hours a day.
Call NowBoiler 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.
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.
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.
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.
