Need expert Burnaby gas water heater installation? Whether you’re replacing an old tank or upgrading to a high-efficiency tankless system, Skylimit Heating and Gas delivers licensed installation services across Burnaby. We ensure every unit is installed up to code, tested for safety, and fully operational on the same day.

🔧 Why Proper Installation Matters

A professionally installed water heater ensures optimal performance, safety, and longer lifespan. Poor installation can result in gas leaks, inconsistent hot water, or carbon monoxide exposure. All our installations are performed by Technical Safety BC-certified technicians to ensure full compliance with BC Building Codes.

🔍 Pre-Installation Inspection Process

Before installation, we conduct a thorough on-site inspection to:

• Measure water pressure and gas flow
• Evaluate flue venting and combustion air supply
• Assess physical space and clearance needs

🚫 Common Installation Errors We Prevent

Our team avoids common issues seen with poor installs, such as:

• Missing pressure relief valve or thermal expansion tank
• Unsealed gas joints leading to leakage
• Improperly sized venting systems or missing backdraft dampers

💬 Free In-Home or Virtual Consultation

Not sure which water heater is right for you? We offer free consultations—either in-person or online—to help you choose the ideal model based on your hot water needs and home layout.

📐 Guidance on Size & Capacity

Choosing the wrong size water heater leads to wasted energy or cold showers. We guide you in selecting a properly sized unit—like a 40-gallon for small households or 60-gallon for families—to match your daily use and recovery needs.

🚿 Tank vs Tankless Installation

We install both traditional tank-style and high-efficiency tankless water heaters. Tankless models offer endless hot water and lower energy bills. Learn more at ENERGY STAR Water Heaters.

🏠 Point-of-Use Water Heater Installation

Need instant hot water in a kitchen or bathroom far from your main heater? We offer point-of-use installations—compact units that supply hot water directly where it’s needed.

📦 Expansion Tank & Blanket Installation

We install thermal expansion tanks and insulating water heater blankets to improve efficiency and prevent pressure damage. These accessories help meet BC Building Code standards.
