Expert Boiler Installation You Can Trust

A gas boiler is a significant investment in your home's comfort and efficiency. At GasBoilers.ca, we ensure that investment pays off with professional installation that maximizes performance and longevity.

Our installation process begins with a thorough assessment of your heating needs. We calculate heat loss, evaluate your existing infrastructure, and recommend equipment that's precisely sized for your home—because an oversized or undersized boiler costs you money and comfort.

Boiler Installation FAQs

Straight answers to the questions Greater Vancouver homeowners ask before booking an installation estimate.

How much does boiler installation cost in Vancouver?

Most residential gas boiler installations in Greater Vancouver run $5,500-$9,500 installed, depending on the unit (combi vs. heat-only), output, venting changes, and code upgrades. High-efficiency condensing combis sit at the upper end; straightforward like-for-like swaps at the lower end. Every job gets a written, fixed quote before work begins - see our boiler installation cost guide for a full breakdown.

How long does a boiler installation take?

A like-for-like replacement typically takes one day (6-10 hours). Conversions - tank water heater plus old boiler to a single combi, or relocating the unit - usually take 1.5-2 days including venting, condensate drain, and gas-line work. We confirm the timeline in your estimate so you know exactly when heat and hot water return.

Do I need a permit for a new boiler in BC?

Yes. Gas boiler installations in BC require a gas permit pulled by a licensed contractor, and the work must be performed by certified gas fitters. We handle the Technical Safety BC permit and inspection paperwork as part of every installation - never let anyone install a boiler without one.

What size boiler does my home need?

Sizing is based on a heat-loss calculation - square footage, insulation, windows, zones, and domestic hot water demand - not just matching the old unit. Oversized boilers short-cycle and wear out early; undersized ones can't keep up in a cold snap. We perform the calculation during your free estimate, or you can get a starting point with our boiler size calculator.

Are there rebates for installing a high-efficiency boiler in BC?

Often, yes. FortisBC has offered rebates on qualifying ENERGY STAR condensing boilers, and federal programs periodically add support for efficiency upgrades. Programs change through the year, so we confirm current eligibility during your estimate and handle the paperwork for qualifying installs.

Should I replace my boiler and hot water tank with one combi unit?

If your boiler and tank are both 12+ years old, a single wall-hung combi often makes sense: one appliance, one set of venting, freed-up mechanical-room space, and 95%+ efficiency for both heat and hot water. Larger homes with high simultaneous hot-water demand may still be better served by a heat-only boiler with an indirect tank - we assess both options in your estimate.
