Hot Water Tank and Tankless Water Heater Service in Coquitlam and Greater Vancouver

Nothing derails a morning like a cold shower. If your hot water tank is leaking, making strange noises, or not heating water at all, Gold Star Plumbing and Heating can diagnose the problem and get your hot water back quickly across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and the rest of Metro Vancouver.

We repair and install standard hot water tanks as well as tankless systems for homes and businesses across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Burnaby, Port Moody, and the rest of Greater Vancouver.

No Hot Water at All

When your tank stops producing hot water completely, the cause could be a faulty heating element, a tripped breaker, a broken thermostat, or a pilot light that has gone out on a gas unit. Our plumbers check each part of the system to find the actual cause rather than guessing, so you only pay for the repair you need.

Leaking Hot Water Tank

A leaking tank should never be ignored. Even a small leak can point to a crack in the tank itself, which usually means the tank needs to be replaced rather than repaired. We inspect the tank, valves, and connections to find the source of the leak and let you know honestly whether a repair or a new tank makes more sense.

Tank Leaks Need Fast Attention

A leaking tank should never be ignored because even a small leak can quickly become a much bigger problem.

Sometimes Replacement Makes More Sense

A crack in the tank itself usually means the unit needs to be replaced rather than repaired.

We Check the Full System

We inspect the tank, valves, and connections to find the source of the leak and explain your options honestly.

Hot Water Tank Coquitlam Installation and Replacement Services

Most hot water tanks last between eight and twelve years. If yours is getting older, losing efficiency, or breaking down often, replacing it before it fails completely can save you from an unexpected cold shower. We install standard tank units as well as tankless systems and help you choose the right size and type for your home or business.

Tankless Water Heaters Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam

A tankless water heater heats water as you use it instead of storing a large tank of hot water around the clock. This can save space and lower your energy use over time. We install and service tankless water heaters for homes and businesses in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and across Greater Vancouver, and can help you decide whether a tankless system fits your household.

Leaking Hot Water Tank Signs You Should Not Ignore

Most hot water tanks give you warning signs before they fail completely. Watch for water that runs out faster than it used to, a rumbling or popping sound from the tank when it heats up, water that is not as hot as it once was even at the same setting, rust coloured or discoloured water from the hot tap, a visible leak or puddle around the base of the tank, or a tank that is more than ten years old. Any one of these is worth having checked before it turns into a flood or a day without hot water.

Less Hot Water

If your hot water runs out faster than it used to, your tank may need service before it fails completely.

Strange Noises or Discoloured Water

Rumbling, popping, rust coloured water, or water that is not as hot as it used to be are all warning signs worth checking.

Visible Leaks or Age

A puddle around the base of the tank or a unit that is more than ten years old is a strong reason to have it inspected.

Our Hot Water Tank Service Process

We start by inspecting your current tank or tankless system and asking about the symptoms you have noticed. For a repair, we identify the exact cause and give you a quote before touching anything. For a replacement, we help you choose the right size and type for your household and give you a clear price that includes removal of the old unit. Once you approve the work, we complete the installation and test the system before leaving, making sure hot water is flowing properly from every tap we check.

1. Inspect the System

We inspect your current hot water tank or tankless system and ask about the symptoms you have noticed.

2. Diagnose or Size the Replacement

3. Provide a Clear Quote

4. Complete the Work

We carry out the repair or installation, including removal of the old unit when needed.

Our main water line that goes from the street to our home burst and was flooding the yard and pooling against the house. Within about 1.5 hours of calling Gold Star Plumbing they were able to have someone on site to deal with it. Mo knew exactly what to do and was able to resolve the problem, replace the pipe and get our water running again the same day. This was a big job that took the whole day so I was impressed by how quickly they were able to respond.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review! We’re glad we could respond quickly and get your water main line repair completed the same day. The trenchless repair worked like a charm!

Moe and Ethan from Goldstar did an amazing job for us. We had a major plumbing emergency right before we were having guests over, and Moe went above and beyond to make sure everything was finished in time so we wouldn't have any issues. Moe unclogged our bath tubs, replaced our boiler/hot water tank, and also swapped out our bathroom faucets, shut-off valves, and shower cartridges. He was extremely reliable, walked us through the limitations, and always checked in with us before moving forward with any work. When we still had a small heating hiccup after the initial install, Moe sent Ethan right over. Ethan tested everything thoroughly and replaced a faulty part under warranty with zero extra charges. Thanks to both of them, we had zero hot water interruptions and our guests had a wonderful stay. Highly professional team — 5 stars all around!
Response from the owner:Geraldo it was a pleasure serving your household! From beginning to end we at gold star plumbing and heating take pride in our Troubleshooting, repair and installation of hot water heaters. We’re glad we would explain everything step by step for you and work hard to resolve all issues. Thanks for the great review!

My main water line was leaking, and I initially hired another plumbing company to begin the repair. As the work progressed, I became increasingly concerned about some of their recommendations and felt that I might be paying for additional repairs that were not actually necessary. That’s when I called Mo at Goldstar Plumbing. Even though it was late in the evening, Mo came to my home with his tools and camera equipment and took the time to thoroughly inspect the problem. He carefully explained what he found and gave me the reassurance I needed to make an informed decision. I found Mo to be knowledgeable, honest, and trustworthy. I really appreciated that he took the time to properly assess the situation rather than simply recommending more work. I would definitely recommend Mo and Goldstar Plumbing to anyone looking for a reliable and honest plumber.
Response from the owner:Hi Chris, thank you for the kind review! We’re glad we could help out with your broken water main line leak and provide our expertise. We take pride in thorough plumbing repairs and inspections. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation

Gold star plumbing completely saved my basement during the recent thunderstorms in Vancouver. My basement started flooding due to all the rain and Gold Star was able to come to my house at 2am and found that my sump pump stopped working. They replaced it and got rid of all the excess water super quick. I tried calling a couple other plumbers but none were able to make it as fast as these guys were. I Highly recommend their services!!
Response from the owner:Happy to say we got there in time before there was too much damage! Goodluck to you Mr.Kwan and thank you for the review means a lot to work in the Killarney area

Frequently Asked Questions

Most tanks last between eight and twelve years, though this depends on water quality, maintenance, and how the tank was installed.

Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for hot water emergencies across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Greater Vancouver.
