Which tank do I need? We’ll work that out.

First, a few questions: how many people live at home, baths or showers, and does the hot water keep up? The tank’s age and maintenance history help too. Don’t know? Tell us what you can and we’ll check the rest.

John Wood, Rheem, A. O. Smith or another suitable electric brand available in Canada: the recommendation starts with your home’s needs and what’s available.

A tank that fits your home. And preferably through the door.

Tight cupboard? We check the available space and the route in and out, including stairs and narrow doors. Space-saving models may be an option. A photo can help us prepare, but you don’t need one to get started.

Could the old tank be repaired instead?

Sometimes. A failed element, thermostat or leaking valve may be repairable. A failed tank body changes the decision. If you need the problem assessed first, see water heater repair in West Vancouver.

Get your hot water sorted in three steps

  1. Tell us what’s happening. Call or book online. No model numbers needed.
  2. Approve the right solution. We check your household’s needs, space and connections, then confirm the scope and complete price.
  3. Leave the changeover to us. Delivery, removal, agreed connections and testing are handled. Before we leave, we explain when the new tank should be ready as it heats up.

Protection beyond installation day

6-year manufacturer tank warranty on the standard John Wood packages above, plus our 3-Year Workmanship Guarantee on qualifying installation work.

Want longer tank coverage? Ask about extended manufacturer warranty options for eligible models. We confirm availability, cost and terms with your quote. Tank coverage and workmanship protection are separate; manufacturer coverage does not automatically include every labour or replacement cost.

A few practical questions

How soon can you replace my tank?

Call with what’s happening and your location. We’ll check availability, tank supply and the work needed, then agree a visit. Online booking is available anytime. After-hours emergency visits by appointment, subject to availability. Call to check. We confirm the appointment and applicable pricing before attending.

What if I need a visit before deciding?

A business-hours visit starts with a $99 + GST call-out for administration, travel and arrival with a stocked service van. Investigation, work and parts are separately priced unless included in an agreed package. We explain the next step and its price before proceeding. Each advertised replacement package already includes one business-hours call-out.

What are the advertised tanks’ specifications?

The standard John Wood packages are 240 V / 3000 W, in 40 US gallon / 151 litre and 48 US gallon / 182 litre capacities. We check suitability; you don’t need to work out the electrical requirements yourself.

Do you install under-counter boiling-water systems?

Yes, kitchen systems that provide instant boiling water at a tap. For those who consider waiting for the kettle an unnecessary hardship. These are quoted separately after checking your kitchen setup, selected model and required connections.
