Water Heater Repair in Vancouver: What to Know
Vancouver has a lot of older houses where the water heater sits in a tight basement corner, and plenty of condos and townhouses where it is tucked into a closet. In a closet, a leak can reach the unit below, so a drain pan and a working relief-valve line matter.
In a strata building, tell us about parking and access before the visit.
How a Repair Visit Works
- You call and describe the problem. A photo of the rating label helps.
- David tests the heater: gas, ignition, controls, venting and the tank itself.
- You get the finding and the price. Nothing is replaced without your OK.
- He makes the repair, runs the heater and checks the venting and gas connections.
Repair or Replace?
A gas tank usually lasts 10 to 15 years. A failed thermocouple, igniter, gas valve or relief valve is usually worth fixing. A leak from the tank itself, or an old tank that keeps failing, usually means replacement. David gives you both prices.
When replacement is the better call, see water heater installation. A yearly water heater service keeps a tank going longer.
