Step-by-Step Hot Water Tank Installation in Port Coquitlam

01

Assessment & Consultation

We start by understanding your specific needs:

  • What size tank is best suited for your home?
  • Do you prefer an electric or gas hot water tank?
  • How many people live in your home and what is your average daily water usage (showers, laundry, etc.)?
  • Do you need to replace an existing unit, and what is its condition?
  • Our goal is to help you choose the best tank for your home’s needs, ensuring both affordability and efficiency.
02

Turning Off Utilities

Before we begin any work, we ensure safety first:

  • We shut off the water supply to avoid leaks or water damage.
  • We also disconnect the electricity or gas supply, ensuring no electrical or gas hazards during installation.
03

Draining and Removing the Old Tank

If you’re replacing an old unit, we take care of the removal:

  • We drain the old tank, carefully removing all the water.
  • We disconnect power and water lines to prepare for the new system.
  • The old tank is then removed and disposed of safely, leaving no mess behind.
04

Preparing the Installation Area

A thorough check of the installation area is essential:

  • We inspect the floor to make sure it’s stable and level to support the new tank.
  • We ensure there is adequate clearance around the tank for both installation and future maintenance.
  • For gas models, we make sure ventilation is appropriate to meet safety requirements.
  • We ensure drainage is in place, particularly for the pressure relief valve.

Any updates, like installing a drip pan or adjusting pipes, are done before the tank is placed.

05

Installing the New Hot Water Tank

Once everything is prepared, we proceed with the installation:

  • We position the new tank and connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes.
  • Depending on your choice of model, we either install electrical wiring for electric units or connect gas lines for gas-powered systems.
  • We install a temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure safety.
  • The drain line is set up as per local code, and everything is tightened and secured.
06

Filling the Tank and Testing Connections

After the tank is in place:

  • We fill the tank with cold water and bleed the air by opening hot water taps in the house.
  • We check for any leaks in the connections and ensure everything is tight and secure.
07

Turning On Power or Gas

Once the tank is filled:

  • For electric models, we restore power and check the thermostat settings.
  • For gas models, we light the pilot light and test the burners for proper functionality.
08

Final Testing & Safety Checks

After everything is powered up:

  • We check the water temperature to ensure it’s correctly set.
  • We test the relief valve to ensure it works as a safety feature.
  • We check the operation of burners or heating elements.
  • We verify that electrical connections are secure, and gas lines are leak-free.
  • We also ensure the ventilation and drainage are working properly.
09

Clean-Up & Walkthrough

Once the installation is complete:

  • We clean the work area, leaving no mess behind.
  • We walk you through the operation of your new hot water tank, explaining how to adjust the thermostat and spot potential issues early.
  • We provide maintenance tips to keep the system running efficiently for years to come.

Hired Centrum Solutions to diagnose and fix our broken heat pump. Amir was very courteous and thorough, and took the time needed to explain everything. Would hire them again!

We first contacted Centrum back in the winter inquiring about the heat pump. Amir was extremely knowledgeable and helpful when it came to choosing the right system for our home. We ended up reaching out again in April and getting the heat pump installed at the end of the May as we wanted to take advantage of the available rebates and Amir & Jenneth made it happen for us and they continued to assist us after while we were applying for the Loan & Rebates. We’re so happy to have AC in our home for the summer and would 100% recommend Centrum Solutions to anyone.

We had them come over to our place for a consultation to install a new Heat pump. Amir was amazing in explaining me everything and took time answering my questions. Jenneth also helped me answer all questions and filling up the application for FortisBC rebates. We ended up paying exactly what was quoted and no extra hidden costs.

Installation went very good. They took great care in doing everything properly and never felt like it was rushed to just finish the work.

It's been few weeks since the installation, heating works great and just waiting to test the AC unit once the hot weather sets in. But I am sure if any issues Amir and team will help to sort it out. I will try to update the review after year when I do my yearly service maintenance with them.

They arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the job faster than expected while maintaining top-notch quality.

Customer service was outstanding—Amir was courteous, friendly, and respectful of my home.

I also appreciated their honest and fair pricing. There were no hidden fees, and the quote they provided was accurate and reasonable for the high-quality service they delivered.

Overall, they turned what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and hassle-free experience. I highly recommend Centrum solutions to anyone in need of reliable and professional HVAC and Plumbing services. I’ll definitely be calling them again for any future needs

We have used Centrum Solutions over the past two years for numerous projects, including 2 mini split heat pumps. Amir and Jenneth are lovely people who provide top-notch customer service. I always feel that Amir has my best interest in mind and strives to come up with a plan that takes into account my specific needs. I like knowing that I'm dealing with the owner of the company - Amir takes pride in his work, and it shows.

I had a fantastic experience with Centrum Solutions. Amir and his team, including Bernardo, installed a new heat pump at our place. Their work was exceptional, and Amir and Jenneth provided excellent communication, addressing any questions promptly. I highly recommend Centrum Solutions for their professionalism and top-notch service. Definitely deserving of a 5-star rating!

We had our hot water tank replaced with a tankless that Amir suggested and it has worked flawlessly over the last 2 years, we some small issues arise and Amir was here the same day or next to fix the issue.
He also replaced our old a/c with a new heat pump, this was a big job as our air handler was up in the attic, Amir and Bernardo removed the old unit and replaced it with new unit with precision. Even though it was hot up in the attic they never complained.
Amir was always patient to answer the many questions we asked him. He always returned my calls as many contractors never call back after a job is done.
They did an amazing job, very neat and clean work.
Would highly recommend Centrum Solutions

Centrum Team took quick action on getting a dual fuel hybrid heat pump/furnace installed that met Fortis's rebate policies. Jenneth was very helpful with ensuring the right equipment was selected and helped arrange the two assesments that were needed (air flow calc. and energuide). All around happy with the install and would recommend Centrum.

I am extremely pleased with the exceptional service provided by Centrum and their dedicated team, led by Arim. Their professionalism was evident from the outset as they efficiently handled our HVAC installation with a remarkable attention to detail. Unlike other installers, Centrum's commitment to getting the job done right the first time truly sets them apart.

Arim's excellent communication skills ensured that we were kept informed throughout the installation process, eliminating any uncertainties we might have had. It was evident that they prioritize customer satisfaction, going the extra mile to not only meet but exceed our expectations. What truly impressed us was the inclusion of some additional services, a thoughtful gesture that demonstrated their commitment to delivering value. Centrum's dedication, expertise, and focus on customer well-being make them a top choice in the HVAC industry.

We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by Centrum Solutions for the replacement of our furnace. The entire process, from receiving the initial quote to the installation, was truly enjoyable. Amir, the owner and operator of the business, impressed us with his expertise and amiable demeanor. He took the time to explain all the details, enabling us to make a well-informed decision.

Furthermore, Jenneth, the Administrative Manager, was exceptionally responsive and provided valuable assistance in securing government rebates. We wholeheartedly endorse Centrum Solutions for all heating and cooling projects and highly recommend their services
