We Hire the Best Plumbers in Winnipeg...

But Don’t Just Hear It From Us!

Dallas installed my central air unit 10-11 years ago at the recommendation of a friend. Since then the Lynn's team has helped me numerous times with drain services, plumbing service Winnipeg and most recently a new furnace and hot water tank. This has been a cold winter and my old furnace wouldn't have cut it. New furnace, no problem. I feel like they actually care and that's important to me. Would reccomend them to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic to work with. I had called half a dozen places when the sump pump failed during some heavy rain, most didn't even bother calling back. Even though they were getting slammed Dallas kept in touch and kept me aware of when to expect him. After arriving he had our sump pump swapped out in short order with a replacement up and running, no messing around. I will be calling on them again in the future should the need arise.

I called on Saturday morning and booked for Monday morning. The company called by 8am to let me know the techs were on their way. The techs were knowledgeable and friendly. The only negative was that although I had advised of a small access the machine was too big and they had to go pick up a smaller machine. Otherwise they cleaned up and I have plumbing again.

Winnipeg Hot Water Tank Installation FAQs

Do I need a permit to install a hot water tank in Winnipeg?

Yes, the majority of hot water tank installations in Winnipeg need permits. Gas water heater installations have to be performed by licensed gas fitters and need permits to make sure the work is up to safety codes.

What size hot water tank do I need for my home?

The right tank size comes down to the size of your household and demand for hot water. Here’s an overview:

1-2 people: 30-40 gallon tank
2-3 people: 40-50 gallon tank
3-4 people: 50-60 gallon tank
5+ people: 60-80 gallon tank or consider tankless

Should I choose a gas or electric hot water tank?

Both types of hot water tanks have their advantages. Gas water heaters heat faster and are more affordable to operate, but need venting and gas line access. Electric water heaters have lower upfront costs and easier installation, but cost more to operate.

Can you convert my electric hot water tank to gas (or vice versa)?

Yes, we offer fuel type conversions for your hot water tank. Converting from electric to gas requires running or upgrading gas lines and installing proper venting. Meanwhile, converting from gas to electric will require electric panel upgrades.

What's involved in new construction hot water tank installation?

When a builder is working on a new home, we coordinate when to install a hot water tank. The process covers rough-in work for water lines, gas (if needed), electrical connections and venting. Following installation, our team makes sure everything is up to code and ready for final inspection.

Do you install hot water tanks in tight or unusual spaces?

We regularly work in challenging spaces, but clearances must be up to code for safety and serviceability. Our team will let you know if your space meets these requirements or if modifications or new locations are required.

Can you install a second hot water tank for additional capacity?

Yes, if required, our team can install additional hot water tanks if your home needs the additional capacity. Usually, more than one hot water source is required for larger homes, multi-generational households or properties with high hot water demand.

What's included in your installation service?

Our installation service includes:

All necessary connections (water lines, gas lines or electrical)
Pressure relief valve installation
Drain pan setup (where required)
Venting (for gas units)
Code-compliant installation
Permit handling
System testing
Final walkthrough
Removal and disposal of your old unit (for replacements)

How is installing a tankless water heater different from a traditional tank?

Tankless installations are more advanced. That’s because they need specific venting systems, properly sized gas lines (for gas models), dedicated electrical circuits (for electric models) and accurate water flow calculations. Installation does take longer and cost more upfront, but tankless units save space and offer on-demand hot water.

Do you work with builders and contractors on new construction projects?

We often work with builders, developers and contractors on residential and commercial new construction projects. We take care of initial planning, rough-in work, final installation and inspection coordination.

What if my home doesn't have the right electrical or gas setup?

We assess your home during your consultation and provide a comprehensive quote that includes electrical panel modifications, gas line installation or venting additions. We ensure our water heater installation is safe and code-compliant.
