Tankless Water Heater & Boiler Installation Services in White Rock & Surrey

When your old water heater fails, or your boiler stops heating your home properly, you need someone who can size the replacement correctly and install it to code. We’ve been doing exactly that for White Rock and South Surrey families since 2012.

We’re Peace Arch Plumbing and Heating Inc, a family-owned business that installs, repairs, and maintains tankless water heaters and boiler systems across the Lower Mainland. Our licensed gas fitters and heating technicians handle sizing calculations, permit applications, and installations that meet BC codes and manufacturer specifications.

Family-Owned Heating Specialists Since 2012

We opened our doors in 2012 with one clear goal: providing reliable heating and hot water solutions that actually work for Lower Mainland homes. After more than a decade working in White Rock, South Surrey, Surrey, Delta, and Langley, we know which systems handle our hard water best, how to size equipment for coastal weather patterns, and what maintenance schedules prevent the problems we see most often.

We handle permits, coordinate inspections, and install equipment that passes code requirements the first time. When we finish a job, you know it’s done right and meets every requirement.

What We Install and Service

We install and service tankless water heaters and boiler systems for single-family homes, multi-family buildings, and commercial properties. Tankless units heat water on demand instead of storing it in a tank, giving you endless hot water and equipment that lasts 20 years instead of 10. Boilers heat water and distribute it through radiators, baseboard heaters, or in-floor radiant systems. They’re common in older White Rock homes and increasingly popular in new construction.

Tankless Water Heaters

Gas and electric tankless units heat water only when you need it, which cuts energy waste from keeping a tank hot around the clock. Most families save 20% to 40% on water heating costs, though actual savings depend on your usage patterns and what you’re replacing. We size units properly for your peak demand, incoming water temperature, and how many fixtures might run simultaneously. We also set up annual descaling schedules because our moderately hard water builds mineral deposits that destroy heat exchangers if you ignore them.

High-Efficiency Boilers

Modern condensing boilers extract more heat from every cubic metre of gas burned and modulate their output to match your heating demand. That means steadier temperatures, lower fuel costs, and equipment that runs efficiently for decades. We install conventional boilers for radiator systems and combi boilers that handle both space heating and domestic hot water. Combi units save space but need careful sizing to handle simultaneous demands, which we calculate properly during our assessment.

System Repairs and Maintenance

Tankless water heaters need annual descaling if you have hard water, which most Lower Mainland homes do. We flush your system with food-grade descaling solution, check the burner, inspect the heat exchanger, and test all safety controls. Boilers need annual servicing before the heating season starts. We clean the heat exchanger, check combustion efficiency, inspect the expansion tank and pressure relief valve, and test all safety controls. Catching small problems early prevents mid-winter breakdowns when you need heat most.

Common Problems We Fix

We regularly see undersized tankless units that can’t deliver hot water when two showers run simultaneously, boilers that can’t keep homes warm during cold snaps, and venting problems that create safety hazards. Hard water scaling destroys heat exchangers without regular descaling. Gas lines sized for old tank heaters can’t supply the flow that tankless units and boilers need, causing equipment to shut down on safety limits.

If your water runs lukewarm, your boiler cycles constantly, or your equipment was installed without proper permits, we’ll assess what’s wrong and fix it correctly. Sometimes that means replacing incorrectly sized equipment, upgrading gas lines, or installing proper venting and condensate drainage that should have been done right the first time.

Questions You Might Have

Most families save 20% to 40% on water heating costs after switching to tankless, though actual savings depend on your usage patterns, gas rates, and what you're replacing. Tankless units don't waste energy keeping 200 litres of water hot around the clock. We can calculate estimated savings for your specific situation before you commit.
Not necessarily, but regular descaling is required with our moderately hard water. If your water is particularly hard or if you want to reduce maintenance frequency, a softener helps. We'll test your water and recommend what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Yes, though we'll need to verify your existing system is compatible. Condensing boilers require different venting, condensate drainage, and sometimes different piping materials. We'll assess your current setup, explain what modifications are needed, and give you an accurate quote that includes all necessary work.
That depends on your peak hot water demand, incoming water temperature, and how many fixtures might run simultaneously. A typical family home in White Rock needs a unit that can handle 9 to 12 litres per minute with a 30°C temperature rise. We calculate this properly during our assessment rather than guessing based on house size.
Yes, we're available 24/7 for emergencies. When your water heater or boiler fails, we respond quickly to assess the problem, provide temporary solutions if needed, and schedule permanent repairs or replacement. Call 778-998-6420 anytime, and you'll reach a real person who can help.
