A properly installed water heater is essential for reliable, efficient hot water. Whether you’re upgrading an old tank, switching to tankless, or replacing a failed unit, proper installation ensures safety, performance, and long-term durability. Poorly installed water heaters often lead to gas leaks, venting issues, flooding, inefficiency, and premature failure — especially in BC’s mineral-rich water and damp climate.
