Running out of hot water halfway through a shower, rusty water from the tap, or a puddle forming under the tank are signs your water heater is near the end. Citadel Plumbing & Heating provides water heater installation in Calgary & surrounding areas for homeowners replacing a failed unit or upgrading to something better suited to the household. We help you choose the right type and size, then install it with correct venting, gas connections, and safety components.
The right water heater depends on how many people live in the home, how many bathrooms you have, and how often showers, laundry, and the dishwasher run at the same time. A unit that is too small leaves you waiting; one that is too large wastes energy.
Our water heater installation in Calgary & surrounding areas starts with those questions. We also look at the space available, your existing venting, gas line capacity, and whether the location allows a clean drain for the relief valve.
Options we install:
We explain the upfront cost, operating cost, and lifespan of each option so you can decide with confidence.
A water heater swap involves gas, water, venting, and safety controls. Each has to be done correctly for the unit to run safely and last. Gas water heater installations in Alberta require a gas permit, which we pull for you.
We drain and remove the old tank, set the new unit level, and connect supply lines with new shut-off valves as needed. Venting is checked for proper slope, clearances, and draft. Calgary’s hard water shortens tank life, so we can also talk through anode rods and scale protection.
Installation typically includes:
You may need one slab behind a home, several pads on a commercial site, or concrete tied into larger site development. We can coordinate the work with dirt work, trenching, utility connections, driveways, or building preparation when those services belong in your project. That keeps scheduling clear and reduces loose ends.
Call SepTech LBK when you need concrete services in South Plains & Surrounding West Texas Areas, with careful site preparation and plain communication. We discuss dimensions, access, drainage, and other trades. You will know what the site needs and how to care for the concrete.
Our water heater installation in Calgary & surrounding areas ends with a walkthrough of temperature settings and basic care.
Tankless water heaters heat water only when you use it, so they don’t run out during back-to-back showers and take up far less space. They do need the right gas line size, dedicated venting, and periodic descaling, especially with Calgary’s hard water. We check all of that before recommending one.
If you are finishing a basement, a wall-mounted tankless unit can free up valuable floor space. We plan the location with your renovation layout in mind.
We haul away the old tank as part of every replacement. Call (587) 575-5661, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, to discuss your water heater options.
We recommend the capacity your household actually needs, not the biggest unit on the truck.

We install and service both types, so you get a fair comparison instead of a sales pitch.
Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Hard water, high temperature settings, and skipped maintenance can shorten that. Tankless units often last 15 years or more with descaling.
For many households, yes, especially larger families or homes short on space. The upfront cost is higher, so we compare it with a high-efficiency tank for your situation.
Most homes use a 40- or 50-gallon tank. Larger families or homes with soaker tubs may need more capacity or a tankless system. We size it during our visit.
A like-for-like tank replacement usually takes a few hours. Tankless conversions or venting changes can take most of a day.
Yes. Our water heater installation in Calgary & surrounding areas includes electric models for homes and acreages without natural gas.
