What’s a Hot Water Tank, and Why Should You Care?
A hot water tank, or water heater, is the appliance that ensures you have warm water for daily needs—showers, dishes, laundry, and more.
It stores and heats water to a set temperature, so it’s ready the moment you need it. With Burnaby’s wet and cold climate, a working hot water system is crucial for home comfort.
Types of Water Heaters Common in Burnaby
01
Electric Hot Water Tanks
Powered by heating elements, ideal for condos or homes without gas lines.
02
Gas Hot Water Tanks
Heats water quickly using natural gas—perfect for larger households, but needs regular checks.
03
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters
Great for energy savings and tight spaces. No tank means hot water only when you need it.
04
Hybrid or Heat Pump Water Heaters
Eco-friendly and efficient—ideal if your home has a mini split or heat pump system already installed.
How It Works (and When Things Go Wrong)
Hot water tanks:
- Fill with cold water
- Use electric elements or gas burners to heat the water
- Keep it warm until you’re ready
- Deliver it through your home’s pipes
Over time, tanks in Burnaby homes can suffer from hard water buildup, worn-out parts, or corrosion—especially with frequent temperature swings and older infrastructure in some neighbourhoods.

Here’s when to call us:
- No hot water at all
- Takes forever to heat up

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Most last 10–15 years. Weather and water quality can affect that—Burnaby’s mineral content and temperature swings can speed up wear.
If it’s under 10 years and not leaking from the tank itself, repair is usually more cost-effective. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons.
Unless it’s resetting the breaker or relighting the pilot, we recommend leaving repairs to licensed pros—especially if gas is involved.
