Quick answers to the things homeowners ask before starting.
How much does a water heater cost in Vancouver?
A standard gas water heater installed costs $1,200-$2,000. Tankless gas units run $2,500-$4,500 installed. Electric water heaters are $800-$1,500 installed. Prices include removal of the old unit and basic venting adjustments.
Should I get a tankless water heater in Vancouver?
Tankless units are increasingly popular in Vancouver — they take less space, are more energy-efficient, and never run out of hot water. However, they cost more upfront and may require venting and gas line upgrades in older homes.
Do I need a permit for water heater replacement in Vancouver?
Gas and electrical water-heater work generally requires permits and inspection. Confirm the applicable process with your local municipality and Technical Safety BC; for Vancouver addresses, the City of Vancouver administers many trade permits. A licensed gas fitter or electrician handles the permit and inspection.
How long does a water heater last in Vancouver?
Gas water heaters typically last 8-12 years, electric units 10-15 years. Vancouver's treated water is generally soft, which helps extend lifespan. If yours is over 10 years old, replacement is worth considering before a failure.
