What is a Hot Water Tank (and Why It Matters)
A hot water tank is the heart of your home’s water heating system. It stores and heats water so it’s ready when you turn on the tap—whether for a hot shower, laundry, or dishes. In a climate like Port Moody’s, where damp and chill are frequent guests, a reliable hot water tank is essential.
Common Types of Water Heaters in Port Moody
01
Electric Hot Water Tanks
Ideal for homes without gas lines. They use heating elements to warm the water and typically last 10–15 years.
02
Gas Hot Water Tanks
Heat water faster and more efficiently, but require proper ventilation and regular checks—especially important in older Port Moody homes.
03
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters
Popular in newer homes or renovations, these provide hot water only when needed, saving space and energy.
04
Hybrid/Heat Pump Water Heaters
Eco-friendly and efficient, these systems work well in utility rooms or homes with mini splits.
How Hot Water Tanks Work (and When They Go Wrong)
Your hot water tank:
- Fills with cold water
- Heats it using electricity or gas
- Stores it at a set temperature
- Delivers it through your pipes when needed
But over time, sediment builds up, parts wear down, and efficiency drops—especially in Port Moody where water minerals and fluctuating temperatures can speed up wear and tear.
Signs You Need Hot Water Tank Repair
If you notice any of these, call us right away:
- No hot water or slow recovery

- Strange sounds—like banging, popping, or hissing
- Sudden spike in your energy bill
- Tank is over 10 years old
Sometimes it’s a quick fix. Other times, catching the issue early can save you from a full replacement.

Mini Splits & Heat Pump Water Heaters

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Usually 10–15 years, but regular maintenance helps extend its life—especially with Port Moody’s damp weather.
If it’s under 10 years old and not leaking from the tank itself, a repair is often best. We’ll give you an honest answer either way.
Some small tasks (like resetting the breaker) are safe, but for most issues—especially involving gas or leaks—it’s best to call a pro.
