Professional Equipment & Licensed Gas Fitting

Why Hire A Certified Gasfitter

In British Columbia, any plumber can haul a water tank, but only a Licensed Class B Gasfitter is certified to handle the gas lines, venting, and pressure testing required for a safe, code-compliant installation.

Nanaimo-Specific Care

Nanaimo’s coastal climate and local water quality can lead to premature sediment buildup and anode rod corrosion.

To double the lifespan of your gas water heater in the Mid-Island area, I recommend annual tank flushing and a safety inspection of your thermal expansion tank. I offer these services on weekends to fit your schedule.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you charge more for weekend water heater repairs?

No. Most water heater failures happen at the most inconvenient times. My standard rates apply to all evening and weekend calls.

Can you convert my electric water heater to gas?

Yes. As a licensed Gasfitter, I can run the necessary gas lines and venting to convert your home to a high-efficiency gas or tankless system.

How long does a tank replacement take?

A standard gas water heater replacement typically takes 3 to 5 hours. I can often provide a quote via text if you send a photo of your current setup.
