Quick answer
For water heater repair or installation in Kelowna, call Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting at (250) 859-3548. Tank and tankless, gas and electric, licensed gas fitter for gas units, honest repair-or-replace advice.
A water heater usually gives you warning before it quits, water that runs lukewarm or rusty, runs out faster than it used to, popping or rumbling from the tank, or moisture pooling at the base. Caught early, a lot of these are a straightforward repair. Left alone, a leaking tank can fail all at once and flood a mechanical room.
We service and replace both tank and tankless units, gas and electric. As a licensed gas fitter, we can handle the gas side of a gas water heater properly, venting, connections and all, which not every plumber is licensed to do.

Anderson Plumbing and Gas Fitting services, repairs, and replaces tank and tankless units. Gas water heaters are handled by our licensed gas fitter (TSBC LGA0212697).
Repair or replace?
It depends on the age and the fault. A newer tank with a failed element or thermostat is usually worth repairing; a tank past 10 to 12 years leaking from the body is almost always better replaced. We'll give you the honest call, not the expensive one.
Can you handle a gas water heater?
Yes. We're a licensed gas fitter through Technical Safety BC, so the gas connection and venting are done to code, not subcontracted out.
