Frequently asked questions

Is an electric water heater efficient?

Standard electric tanks are reliable; a heat-pump water heater is far more efficient if you want to cut electricity use.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How long does a hot water tank last?
A standard gas or electric storage tank lasts 8–12 years. A high-quality tank with annual anode rod inspection can reach 15 years. Tankless water heaters typically last 18–22 years when descaled annually in Metro Vancouver's moderately hard water.
Should I switch to a tankless water heater?
Tankless makes sense if you have high demand (large family, multiple bathrooms running at once), want to free up floor space, or value endless hot water. Upfront cost is higher ($3,500–$6,000 installed vs $1,800–$3,200 for a tank) but operating cost is 25–40% lower for gas tankless.
My hot water tank is leaking — is it an emergency?
If the leak is from the tank body itself (not a valve or fitting), the tank is at end of life and needs replacement, usually within 24–48 hours before it floods. Shut off the water supply and gas/electric to the tank and call us.
What brands of water heaters do you install?
We install and service Bradford White, Rheem, AO Smith, John Wood, Giant, GSW for storage tanks; and Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, Bosch and Rheem for tankless units.
Can I install a water heater myself?
In BC, gas water heater installations must be performed by a TSBC-licensed gas fitter and are subject to permit and inspection. Electric tanks require a licensed electrician for the connection. CANRO handles permits as part of every installation.
What HVAC services does CANRO offer in Metro Vancouver?
CANRO installs, services and repairs boilers, furnaces, heat pumps, hot water tanks, tankless water heaters, gas fireplaces and air conditioning across Metro Vancouver. We work on residential homes, townhouses and condos throughout the Lower Mainland.
How long has CANRO been in business?
CANRO has been serving the Greater Vancouver area since 1999. Our founder George is recognised by customers as one of the most experienced boiler and hydronic heating technicians in the Lower Mainland.

“Five stars for Canro. We needed a replacement of a 30-year-old boiler. A new high-efficiency unit was installed—clean, professional work.”
