Cold water is heated and stored in a tank, ready to use anytime. Consists of a steel storage tank that holds 113 to 378 liters and a gas burner.
Recovers hot water about two times faster than a same-size electric tank.
On demand, or tankless, water heaters “fire” only when you need it rather than storing it at constant heat. They can be your home’s only source of water heat, or you can add them to your traditional heating system.
A leaking hot water heater should never be ignored. Identifying where the leak originates helps determine whether a quick component repair or a full replacement is required:
Licensed Journeymen: Every job is completed by certified plumbers and gasfitters who follow all Alberta Safety Codes.
Transparent Pricing: No hidden fees or surprise upcharges—we provide clear quotes before any work begins.
Local Climate Expertise: We size and install systems specifically to handle Edmonton’s cold winter ground temperatures.
Complete System Care: From initial gas line sizing to final permit inspections and recycling your old tank, we manage the entire process.
If your unit is under 8 years old and experiencing a minor component failure (like a faulty thermocouple or leaky drain valve), repair is usually the best option. If the tank itself is leaking or over 10 years old, replacing it is more cost-effective than making repeated repairs.
We offer priority scheduling and same-day response for emergency tank failures across Edmonton, St. Albert, and Sherwood Park to ensure your home isn’t left without hot water.
Yes. Our complete installation service includes pulling required gas/plumbing permits, testing the new setup, and hauling away your old tank for eco-friendly recycling.
