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 Combi System in New Westminster
What is a combi boiler system and is it right for my Coquitlam home?
A combi (combination) boiler provides both radiant or hydronic space heating and on-demand domestic hot water from one compact unit. It's ideal for Coquitlam condos, townhomes, or smaller homes with limited mechanical room space. It's not suitable for homes with forced-air (duct) heating — it works with hydronic radiators or in-floor heat.
How much does a combi boiler cost to install in Coquitlam?
Combi boiler installation in Coquitlam typically ranges from $5,000–$12,000 depending on the brand, existing system complexity, and whether hydronic piping changes are needed. We provide written quotes after assessing your home.
Do combi boilers provide enough hot water for a family in Coquitlam?
Most modern combi boilers provide ample hot water for 2–4 person households. For larger families with high simultaneous demand (multiple showers running), we can specify a combi unit with a small internal buffer tank, or recommend a separate high-efficiency boiler + tankless system instead.
