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.
Alpine Plumbing & Heating provides licensed, code-compliant water heater installation and replacement across Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Langley, White Rock, New Westminster, and the Fraser Valley. We install tank, tankless, and high-efficiency water heaters for residential, commercial, and strata properties.

Posted on Daniel ManTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I realized both of my sump pumps failed as my battery backup pump kicked in. My neighbor referred Alpine Heating who arrived quickly, diagnosed the issues and got them repaired before the heavy rain came in. What stood out most was his honesty - he explained exactly what was wrong, showed me the failed parts, and only replaced what was necessary without trying to upsell anything extra. He's professional and courteous. The work was done neatly, he cleaned up afterward, and the price was fair and transparent. I finally feel secure knowing who to call if any plumbing issues happen in the future.Posted on Alan MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't speak highly enough about the excellent work that Alpine plumbing has done for us. We've used them on three occasions, two of which were quite recent, the latest being a hot water tank install today when a big box store installer had failed us. Available on short notice, with a timely arrival and first rate workmanship. Left the site very tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend them!Posted on Bruce CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional , very knowledgeable, and the work was done for much less cost than I expected. Our boiler stopped working ,no heat or hot water. Our long time heating contractor Olson was a disaster. A gear clamp and a piece of neoprene for a temporary fix and starting the boiler $400$ +. Alpine saved us . They arrived immediately , installed a new pump and sensors. Hours of work and labour bill for the same labour cost as the gear clamp installation . You have a problem … call these guys.Posted on Sup BookTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The plumber was extremely helpful and professional.

Alpine Plumbing and Heating provided prompt service to help get our furnace back up and running. This all happened during an arctic outflow weather system that was pushing temperatures below minus 10. Sukhwinder came out and had our furnace up and running within a few hours of calling. Thank you Sukhwinder for your prompt and professional service. Absolutely recommend!!
