Service Overview

Your Hot Water Shouldn’t Be a Gamble

There’s nothing worse than running out of hot water halfway through a shower — especially on a cold Island morning.

Our technicians specialize in diagnosing and upgrading water heaters across Port Alberni, from older homes downtown to newer builds in the valley. We take the time to understand your usage, family size, and energy goals before recommending anything.

You’ll always get straight answers and practical options — never pressure or confusing jargon

System Types

Tank or Tankless? We’ll Help You Decide

When it’s time for a replacement, many homeowners aren’t sure which direction to go. Each type of water heater has its strengths, and the right choice depends on your home and habits.

Tank Water Heaters

Tried and true. Affordable to install and reliable for steady use. We’ll help you choose a model that’s efficient, durable, and sized properly for your household.

Tankless Water Heaters (On-Demand)

The modern option. Heats water only when you need it, which means lower energy costs and endless hot water. Ideal for busy families or anyone tired of waiting for the tank to refill.

Our team installs both gas and electric models, and we’ll make sure you understand the pros and cons before you decide.

Installation & Replacement

When you choose Marmot for your installation, you get more than just a new unit. You get careful workmanship, clean installation, and a team that respects your home.

We’ll remove your old water heater, set up the new one safely and efficiently, and ensure it’s running perfectly before we leave. You’ll know how to use it, what to expect, and how to keep it performing for years.

Repair and Maintenance

Not every issue means a full replacement. If your water heater is acting up — making noise, running cold, or leaking — we’ll inspect it and give you an honest assessment.

In many cases, a small repair or part replacement can extend your system’s life for several more years. We also offer regular maintenance to help prevent those sudden, cold-water surprises.

Warning Signs

When to Call for Help

It’s easy to overlook your water heater until something goes wrong, but early signs can help you avoid bigger problems down the road. Give us a call if you notice:

Inconsistent or lukewarm water temperature

Strange rumbling or popping noises

Rusty or discoloured water

Moisture or leaks around the base of the unit

A system that’s 10–12 years old or older

Even if your water heater seems fine, a quick inspection can help catch issues before they turn costly.
