Water Heater Installation in Vancouver, WA
Water heater installation and replacement
A failed water heater is stressful. MAS Pro installs tank, tankless and heat pump water heaters throughout Vancouver and Clark County. Because plumbing, electrical and gas line work come from the same licensed team, the whole job is one crew and not a handoff between contractors.

Water heater types we install
Tank
The familiar storage tank, in gas or electric. Simple to service and a good fit for many homes.
Tankless
Heats water as you use it. Older homes may need a larger gas line, a dedicated outlet or updated venting.
Heat pump
Pulls heat from the surrounding air, so it uses much less electricity. It needs a dedicated circuit and room to breathe.
Sizing
The right size depends on how many people use hot water and how. We size the unit before we install it.
What Your Neighbors
Are Saying
"During a windstorm a tree fell on our furnace — MAS Pro came out quickly. They were friendly, efficient, and genuinely cared whether we stayed warm. I would highly recommend them!"
"Super happy with the service. The technician was at my place within an hour of my call — really impressed with how fast they responded. Jerry found and fixed a blown fuse on my furnace circuit board and helped install my new Ecobee smart thermostat. Everything works perfectly."
"Derrik came out at 4:30 on a Friday to fix my clogged shower. They were professional and clean, and the problem was resolved quickly. So grateful for these guys!"

Vancouver, WA Water Heater Codes & Regulations
We pull the permit, meet every one of these requirements, and stand there for the inspection — so a water heater install never turns into a surprise later.
Permit is required
Washington's Uniform Plumbing Code requires a permit for nearly every water heater replacement. Inside Vancouver city limits that's the City of Vancouver Community Development Department; unincorporated Clark County goes through Clark County Community Planning. We pull the correct one for your address.
Seismic strapping
Vancouver sits in the Cascadia Subduction Zone / Portland Hills Fault area. Every tank unit gets two seismic straps — upper third and lower third, at least 4" above the controls — anchored to studs or masonry.
T&P relief valve
Every storage water heater needs a verified temperature-and-pressure relief valve, piped to discharge within 6" of the floor or to an approved drain receptor.
Expansion tank
Required on closed systems — homes with a pressure-reducing valve or backflow preventer — to absorb pressure from thermal expansion and protect the tank and plumbing.
Combustion & venting safety
Gas units can't go in small, frequently-used rooms like bedrooms or bathrooms unless they're direct-vent or sealed-combustion. Venting must use approved materials and clearances to prevent carbon monoxide risk.
Drain pan
Required anywhere a leak could cause damage — living spaces, attics, upper floors — piped to an approved discharge point.
Dedicated shutoff valve
An accessible shutoff on the cold water line supplying the heater, so it can be isolated for service without shutting off water to the whole house.
Pipe insulation
Hot and cold lines in unconditioned spaces — garages, crawlspaces, attics — need insulation to code, both for efficiency and to protect against freezing.
Bonding & grounding
Water and gas piping must be electrically bonded per the National Electrical Code. As a licensed electrical contractor too, this is one code item most plumbing-only companies have to call someone else in for — we don't.
Energy code compliance
New installs and major replacements must meet Washington State Energy Code efficiency minimums. We only install units that clear the bar, so you're not stuck redoing it at inspection.
