🛠️ Professional Tankless Water Heater Installation

A tankless system must be installed correctly to work at peak efficiency. Our licensed gas fitters handle every part of the installation:

✔ Correct Sizing & Flow Rate Calculations

We assess your home’s hot water demand to choose the right BTU and GPM rating.

✔ Gas Line Upgrades (If Required)

Tankless units often require larger gas lines — we install or upgrade them safely and to code.

✔ High-Efficiency Venting & Air Intake

We install proper venting, combustion air systems, and condensate drains according to Alberta mechanical code.

✔ Waterline, Drains & Electrical Setup

Includes isolation valves, pressure relief, drain connections, and electrical hookups where needed.

✔ Full Startup, Calibration & Testing

We test flow rates, temperature output, venting, CO levels, and overall system performance.

You get a clean, professional installation built to last.
