Repair or Replace? Real Numbers, Honest Advice
If your Rheem tank water heater has been flawless for years and your boiler is dying, staying in the family with a Prestige combi is a reasonable instinct — we will confirm with a heat-loss and DHW assessment whether a combi or a boiler-plus-indirect setup serves your household better.
Our rule of thumb across brands: if the unit is 15+ years old and the repair quote passes $600–$800, price a replacement before you commit — efficiency savings of 15–20% often recover the cost faster than another round of aging-unit repairs. We quote both paths so you decide with real numbers, and we handle rebate paperwork on qualifying high-efficiency installs.

Rheem FAQs
How much does a Rheem combi boiler cost installed?
Typical Prestige combi installations in Greater Vancouver run about $6,000–$9,000 installed, depending on output, venting and the removal of existing equipment. Replacing a boiler and tank together usually maximizes the value of the project.
Is a Rheem combi enough for my whole house?
It depends on simultaneous hot-water demand more than house size. Two showers plus a dishwasher at once pushes any combi; for high-demand households we sometimes recommend a heating boiler with an indirect tank instead. We assess this honestly during the estimate.
