Step-by-Step: Hot Water Tank Replacement in Port Moody
01
Initial Assessment
We start by evaluating your existing water heater setup:
- Type of unit (gas, electric, hybrid)
- Tank size and capacity
- Installation location and potential challenges (think about Port Moody’s unique weather conditions)
- Code or safety concerns
We guide you to choose the best replacement unit based on your home’s needs and lifestyle.
02
Shutting Off Utilities
For safety, we take the following precautions:
- Turn off gas or electricity
- Shut off the cold water supply line
This ensures there’s no risk of electric shock, gas leaks, or flooding during the replacement process.
03
Draining the Old Tank
Before removal, we drain all remaining water from the old tank using a hose. If the tank is rusted or leaking, we take extra care to prevent water damage to your floors or walls.
04
Disconnecting & Removing the Old Tank
Once the tank is drained, we disconnect:
- Water pipes
- Power or gas lines
We then carefully remove the old tank and dispose of it responsibly—recycling when possible.
05
Preparing for the New Tank
We ensure that:
- The floor and wall structure are sturdy
- Proper ventilation is in place (especially for gas models)
- Fittings or lines are updated, as needed
Additionally, we inspect and flush the pipes if necessary—especially important in Port Moody where hard water can cause mineral buildup.
06
Installing the New Tank
The new tank is placed in position, and we:
- Connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet
- Hook up power or gas lines
- Install the temperature & pressure relief valve (TPR valve)
We double-check for proper leveling, secure fittings, and safe operation before testing it.
07
Filling & Testing the Tank
After filling the tank with water:
- We bleed air from the system and check for leaks.
- Turn on the power or ignite the gas burner.
- Test the thermostat and water temperature to ensure everything is running smoothly.
08
Final Safety Check & Walkthrough
Once the new system is fully operational, we:
- Conduct a final safety inspection
- Go over the user manual, warranty details, and maintenance tips
- Provide a thorough walkthrough to ensure you know how to operate and maintain your new tank.
How Long Does Hot Water Tank Replacement Take in Port Moody?
Most installations are completed within 3 to 4 hours, depending on:
- The type of tank (gas, electric, or hybrid)
- The condition of your existing plumbing
- Any code updates or venting modifications needed
We’ll give you an accurate time estimate before we begin, so you’re never left waiting.
