Hot Water Tank Vancouver | Repair & Replacement | Same-Day Service Available
A failing hot water tank can go from minor symptoms to a flooded utility room overnight. Eaton's Heating provides same-day hot water tank repair and replacement across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland from our Coquitlam base. We diagnose the problem, explain your options, and either complete the repair or install a properly sized replacement, typically the same day. We service both gas and electric tanks from 40 to 75 gallons. Flat-rate diagnostic on repairs, free written estimates on replacements, and flexible Financeit financing available.
Hot water tanks have a lifespan of 8 to 12 years, and most failures follow a predictable pattern. Sediment accumulates at the bottom of the tank, reducing heating efficiency and causing rumbling noises. Anode rods corrode and stop protecting the tank lining. Heating elements and gas control valves wear out. Temperature and pressure relief valves begin to leak. We see all of these regularly across Greater Vancouver and diagnose the cause before recommending anything.
We are a FortisBC Trade Ally, BBB A+ rated, and Technical Safety BC licensed with over 20 years of experience across Greater Vancouver. Our 400+ five-star Google reviews and 4.9 average rating reflect consistently honest, reliable service.
For repairs, we inspect the tank, connections, anode rod condition, and safety components to confirm the cause. Component repairs such as thermostats, elements, and gas valves are completed using CSA certified parts and backed by our six-month parts and labour warranty. For replacements, we help you select the right capacity based on your household size and peak hot water demand, remove and dispose of the old tank, and install the new unit with proper shutoff valves, temperature and pressure relief valve piping to code, and venting verification for gas models. Every installation includes a full heating performance test before we leave. Most replacements are completed the same day, typically within a few hours. For homeowners interested in switching to an on-demand system, we also install tankless water heaters that provide continuous hot water and take up significantly less space.

If your tank is leaking from the shell, heavily rusted, or over 10 years old, replacement is usually the best value. If the issue is a component like a thermostat, heating element, gas valve, or anode rod, repair may be possible and more cost-effective. We diagnose the problem and give you clear options for both.
Most standard hot water tank replacements are completed the same day, typically within a few hours. If venting modifications, gas line changes, or relocation is needed, it may take longer. We outline the full scope before work begins.
Tank size depends on household size and peak hot water demand. A couple or small family typically needs a 40 to 50 gallon tank, while larger households with multiple bathrooms benefit from 60 to 75 gallons. We help you choose the right capacity so you have enough hot water without paying for more tank than you need.
It depends on your household's hot water usage, budget, and existing infrastructure. Tankless systems provide endless hot water and use less energy, but they cost more upfront and may require gas line and venting upgrades. A traditional tank is more affordable to install and works well for most households. We can help you compare both options during your service call.
