Common problems
No hot water, not enough hot water, rumbling noises, rusty water, a leaking tank or a pilot light that will not stay lit. See repair or replace a water heater.
Gas water heaters
Installing or working on a gas water heater is gas work, which in BC must be done by a certified gas fitter. A permit is usually needed — ask your contractor about it.
Tank or tankless
Tank heaters store hot water; tankless heaters heat it on demand. A plumber can explain which fits your home and hot water use.

Frequently asked questions
- Why is my water heater leaking?
- A leak from the tank itself usually means it is near the end of its life. A leak from a fitting or the relief valve may be repairable.
- I smell gas near my water heater. What should I do?
- Leave the house and call FortisBC or 911 from outside. Do not switch lights on or off.
