Common Issues in New Westminster
Century-Old Plumbing Systems
New Westminster homes from the 1900s–1940s may have galvanized pipe and cast-iron drainage systems at or well past end of life. We assess and replace these systems safely, with sensitivity to heritage structures and city regulations.
Heritage Radiator Boiler Systems
Hot-water radiator boiler systems are common in New Westminster's older housing. We service, repair, and where needed replace these systems — preserving radiant heat comfort with modern efficiency and reliability.
Aging Clay-Tile Sewer Infrastructure
New Westminster's oldest neighbourhoods have clay-tile sewer mains and service laterals that crack, shift, and attract root intrusion. Camera inspection is essential before any drain work in these historically complex areas.

Common Questions About Boiler Installation in New Westminster
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.
