📈 Choosing the Right Size Gas Water Heater for Your Home
One of the most common questions we get during New Westminster gas water heater installation is how to choose the right tank size. The answer depends on your household’s hot water usage and number of fixtures. For example:
- A 30–40 gallon tank is often ideal for a 1–2 person household.
- Families of 3–4 may benefit from a 40–50 gallon unit.
- Larger households or homes with multiple bathrooms often need 60–80 gallons or a tankless system.
We’ll calculate the demand during our free consultation to ensure your system delivers consistent hot water, even during peak usage.
🧯 Importance of Professional Gas Line & Venting Connections
Proper gas line sizing, vent pipe installation, and combustion air clearance are essential for safety. Poor installation may lead to gas leaks, carbon monoxide buildup, or poor heater efficiency. That’s why our certified technicians strictly follow Technical Safety BC regulations to prevent hazards. Every unit we install undergoes leak detection and combustion safety checks before being turned on.
📆 How Often Should You Replace Your Water Heater?
Most gas water heaters last 8 to 12 years depending on water quality and maintenance. If your unit is over 10 years old, makes rumbling noises, shows signs of rust, or has inconsistent temperature, it’s probably time to consider a replacement. Our team provides honest advice and cost comparisons between repair and installation so you can make the best decision.
