Rinnai Combi Boiler Replacement in North Vancouver

Replacing an aging boiler or converting from a separate tank-and-boiler setup to a single Rinnai combi is a popular upgrade for North Vancouver homes. HeatLand handles Rinnai combi replacements and tank-to-combi conversions across the North Shore, sizing the new unit to your home and bringing the install up to current code.

Replacing an old boiler with a combi

If your boiler is past its prime, struggling through the North Shore's long, damp heating season, or facing repairs that no longer make sense, a Rinnai combi can replace both the boiler and a separate hot-water tank in one wall-hung unit. Many older Lynn Valley and Lower Lonsdale homes have systems that are well overdue for an upgrade, and removing a storage tank can reclaim space in the mechanical room.

A replacement is more than a swap. We confirm the heat-loss and hot-water demand to size the new combi correctly, then verify that gas supply and venting meet current requirements. Older North Shore homes often need venting changes, because a condensing unit uses sealed intake and exhaust venting rather than an old chimney flue.

• Right-sizing the new combi to your home's demand
• Removing the old boiler and any separate tank
• Updating gas supply and sealed venting to code
• Reconnecting hydronic heating and domestic hot water
• Commissioning by a licensed gas technician

Conversion and rebates

A tank-to-combi conversion simplifies your mechanical space and shifts hot water from stored to on-demand. We size the combi so simultaneous demand is handled comfortably for a larger Edgemont or Deep Cove household with multiple bathrooms.

As a high-efficiency gas appliance, a Rinnai combi may qualify for FortisBC and CleanBC rebates and financing on qualifying replacements and conversions. We can outline what may apply to your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Repair or replace my North Vancouver boiler?

If the unit is old, repairs are frequent or costly, or efficiency has dropped, replacement is usually the better long-term value — especially if a combi also lets you remove a separate hot-water tank.

What does a tank-to-combi conversion involve?

It replaces a separate boiler and storage water heater with one wall-hung combi that supplies both heating and on-demand hot water. Correct sizing keeps hot water steady during simultaneous use.

Will replacement require new venting on the North Shore?

Often, yes. Condensing combis use sealed intake and exhaust venting, so an old chimney flue typically can't be reused. We confirm the venting plan as part of the work.

Are rebates available in North Vancouver?

Qualifying high-efficiency combi installs may be eligible for FortisBC and CleanBC rebates and financing. We can review eligibility for your home and model.
