Installing a new boiler is one of the most important upgrades you can make for long-term comfort, safety, and efficiency—especially in Metro Vancouver, where radiant heat and hydronic systems are widely used in older homes, condos, and strata buildings. A properly sized, professionally installed boiler ensures consistent heat, lower energy consumption, and reliable performance even in BC’s damp climate, where corrosion and mineral buildup shorten the lifespan of poorly installed systems.
Alpine Plumbing & Heating provides expert boiler installation across Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Langley, New Westminster, White Rock, and the Fraser Valley. Our licensed gas fitters handle residential, strata, commercial, and multi-zone hydronic systems, ensuring full compliance with BC Building Code and manufacturer specifications.

Most boilers last 15–25 years in the Lower Mainland. However, BC’s mineral-rich water, damp basements, and aging hydronic systems can accelerate wear. Consider replacement if you notice:
Older boilers lose efficiency, struggle to maintain pressure, and often lack modern safety features.
A declining heat exchanger or failing pump forces the boiler to work harder, increasing energy use.
If you are repeatedly scheduling Boiler Repair, replacement becomes more cost-effective.
Indicates failing circulation, blocked hydronic loops, or insufficient output from an aging unit.
Often caused by scale buildup or internal failure—both common in BC.
Failing to replace an aging boiler can result in leaks, cracked heat exchangers, and unexpected shutdowns during winter.
Our installations follow strict safety and code requirements while ensuring your system delivers consistent heat, long-term durability, and maximum efficiency.
We install:
A proper boiler installation goes far beyond connecting the unit. We ensure the entire hydronic system is balanced, safe, and designed for BC conditions.
We evaluate:
We size the boiler correctly to avoid short-cycling, condensation issues, or insufficient heat.
We help you choose the right boiler based on capacity, AFUE efficiency, venting requirements, space constraints, and your long-term energy goals. If you’re considering upgrading water heating simultaneously, see Water Heater Installation.
We handle all required:
Everything is compliant with BC Building Code and gas safety regulations.
We disconnect and remove the existing system, dispose of materials properly, and ensure the mechanical room is prepared for installation.
Your new boiler is installed according to strict manufacturer specifications, including:
We verify:
Your system is fine-tuned for comfort and energy savings.
Boilers integrate gas, water pressure, hydronic piping, venting, and electrical components. Incorrect installation can lead to:
A licensed boiler installation protects your home, ensures safe combustion, and guarantees long-term performance.

Most residential installations take 4–8 hours, depending on venting, hydronic zones, and system complexity. Larger commercial or strata systems may require additional days. We provide a clear schedule before work begins and complete most installations in a single day.
Yes. Proper sizing is critical for safe and efficient performance. We calculate heating load, hydronic zone requirements, and BC climate factors to determine the correct BTU output. An oversized or undersized boiler will reduce comfort and system lifespan.
Condensing boilers offer significant energy savings and are ideal for BC’s mild climate, where return water temperatures work well with high-efficiency heat exchangers. During consultation, we compare both options based on budget, system design, and long-term operating costs.
Yes. We regularly install boilers in condos, townhomes, shared mechanical rooms, and commercial hydronic systems. We coordinate with strata councils, property managers, and building staff to ensure compliance and minimize disruption.
We remove and dispose of your old boiler safely and in accordance with local environmental regulations. If components are reusable or recyclable, we process them appropriately.
