Water Heater Repair in Surrey: What to Know
Many Surrey houses have a basement suite, and one water heater often supplies both households. A tank sized for one family runs out much faster with two.
If hot water runs out every evening, the heater may be fine but too small for the house. David can tell you which it is.
Test First, Then Fix
A water heater that won’t heat can be a failed thermocouple, a weak igniter, a gas valve, a venting fault or sediment. They look the same from the outside. David tests before replacing anything, so you pay for the part that actually failed.
Is It Worth Fixing?
On a tank under about 10 years old, most repairs make sense. Once the tank itself leaks, it can’t be repaired and has to be replaced. Tankless heaters often last longer and can usually be repaired part by part. David lays out both options with prices.
When replacement is the better call, see water heater installation. A yearly water heater service keeps a tank going longer.
Brands We Repair
Whatever the label says, we can usually work on it. Common brands include Rheem, Bradford White, John Wood, State, Giant, Kenmore and GE.
Who Does the Work
SkyLimit is owner-operated. David answers the phone, diagnoses the heater and does the repair. He is a licensed gas fitter, and SkyLimit holds Technical Safety BC gas contractor licence LGA0207425. Parts we supply and our labour carry a 1-year guarantee.
Questions
Can you give me a price over the phone?
We can talk it through, but an accurate price needs the diagnosis. The service call is $169 (parts extra), and the repair is priced before any work starts.
Our tank supplies the main house and a suite and keeps running out. Is it broken?
Maybe not. It may simply be too small for two households. David checks the burner and thermostat first, then talks through sizing if the heater is working properly.
I smell gas near the water heater. What should I do?
Leave the house first. From outside, call FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911 or 911. Don’t switch lights or appliances on or off on the way out.
