Tank to Tankless Water Heater Conversion

Converting from a traditional tank water heater to a modern tankless system delivers endless hot water, significant space savings, and 20-30% energy cost reduction. We specialize in seamless tank-to-tankless conversions across Metro Vancouver with full code compliance and permit management.

Benefits of Converting to Tankless

Endless Hot Water

Never run out of hot water during showers, laundry, or multiple simultaneous uses.

20-30% Energy Savings

Heat water only on demand, eliminating standby energy losses from tank storage.

Space Liberation

Wall-mounted tankless units free up valuable floor space previously occupied by tanks.

20+ Year Lifespan

Tankless systems last nearly twice as long as traditional tank water heaters.

Lower Operating Costs

Reduced natural gas or electricity consumption translates to monthly utility savings.

Cleaner Hot Water

No tank corrosion or sediment buildup affecting water quality.

Conversion Process

1

Home Assessment

We evaluate your current tank system, gas availability, electrical capacity, and household hot water needs.

2

System Design

Calculate GPM demand, select appropriate tankless model, and plan installation location and venting.

3

Tank Removal

Safely drain, disconnect, and remove your old tank water heater from the property.

4

Infrastructure Upgrades

Upgrade gas lines (often from 1/2" to 3/4"), install proper venting, and ensure adequate electrical supply.

5

Tankless Installation

Mount and connect new tankless unit with all required safety devices and controls.

6

Testing & Permits

Commission system, apply for permits, and coordinate municipal inspection for approval.

Important Conversion Considerations

Gas Line Sizing

Most tank water heaters use 1/2" gas lines, while tankless systems require 3/4" lines for adequate flow. We handle this upgrade as part of the conversion.

Venting Requirements

Tankless units have different venting needs than tanks. We assess existing venting and make necessary modifications to meet manufacturer and code specifications.

Electrical Requirements

Gas tankless units need dedicated 120V electrical circuits for ignition and controls. We ensure proper electrical supply is available.

Water Pressure

Tankless systems require minimum water pressure to activate. We test and address any pressure issues during conversion.
