Tankless Water Heater Installation, Planned Properly
Switching from a tank to tankless involves more than swapping appliances. Gas supply, venting, condensate and water pressure all need to be right for the unit to deliver.

Overview
What goes into a tankless water heater installation
A typical gas tank burns somewhere around 30,000 to 50,000 BTU per hour. A whole-home tankless unit can draw 150,000 to 199,000 BTU when several taps are open. That difference is why tankless water heater installation often includes a larger gas line from the meter, and sometimes a check that the meter itself can supply the house when the furnace, range and fireplace are all running.
Venting changes too. Condensing tankless units exhaust cool, moist flue gas through PVC or polypropylene pipe and need a condensate drain, often with a neutralizer to protect the drain line. Non-condensing models need stainless steel venting. We plan the vent route to meet clearances from windows, doors and property lines, and position the unit for easy service access.
What we include with a new installation
The components around the unit matter as much as the unit itself.
Gas line upgrade
Pipe sized for the full burner input so flow does not drop when the furnace fires.
Sealed venting
Direct-vent intake and exhaust terminated safely outside your home.
Isolation service valves
Allow the heat exchanger to be flushed each year without draining the house.
Condensate handling
A neutralizer and drain route for condensing models protect pipes and the environment.
Recirculation options
Pumps or built-in recirculation shorten the wait for hot water at distant taps.
Included
Is your home ready for tankless?
- Gas meter capacity for all appliances at once

Why choose us for your installation
Sizing done with numbers
We calculate flow and temperature rise rather than picking the biggest box.
Gas work included
Gas line upgrades are planned and quoted as part of the job, not a surprise later.
Rebate guidance
We tell you whether any current utility programs apply and help with paperwork.
Clean utility room
Old tank hauled away and the area left tidy.
Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
What size tankless water heater do I need?
Size depends on how many fixtures run at once and how much the water must be heated. A household that runs two showers and a dishwasher together in January needs a much larger unit than a couple with one bathroom. We calculate this during the assessment.
Do I need a new gas line for tankless?
Often yes. The existing line to a tank is usually sized for a much smaller burner. Without an adequate line, the unit may starve for gas and deliver lukewarm water when the furnace or range is running.
Can a tankless unit be installed outside?
Some models are rated for outdoor installation, but in our climate an indoor installation is usually preferred to protect against freezing in cold snaps and to simplify service.
How long does installation take?
A straightforward replacement of a tank with tankless is commonly a full-day job. If a new gas line or long vent run is required, it can take longer.
Is a permit required?
Yes. Gas appliance installations in BC require a gas permit, and we take care of it as part of the installation.
