From Glenmore Family Homes to Rutland Rentals

Hot water tank failures don't wait for convenient timing. They happen Sunday morning before work, on a long weekend, in the middle of hosting. In Kelowna, they happen at the rate you'd expect from a city with a lot of aging housing stock and measurably hard water. Between Glenmore's postwar family homes, Rutland's long-term rental inventory, and Lower Mission's older lakefront stock, we run same-day tank replacements across Kelowna year-round.

We service gas, electric, and tankless systems across every Kelowna neighborhood. Common tank sizes are stocked locally, which is the difference between 'we'll be there tomorrow morning' and 'your tank is on a truck from Coquitlam, see you in ten days.' For homes running tankless, we provide annual flushing and descaling. Non-negotiable maintenance in Kelowna's water, and the single biggest factor in whether a tankless lasts 8 years or 20.

  • Same-day tank replacements (gas & electric)
  • Tankless flushing & descaling
  • Tank repairs: elements, thermostats, valves
  • Anode rod replacement
  • Leak diagnosis & pressure relief service
  • Old tank haul-away & disposal
What We Handle

Hot Water Services for Kelowna Homes

  1. Tank Replacements

    Same-day swaps across Kelowna from Glenmore bungalows, Rutland rentals, Upper Mission new builds. Old tank out, new one installed, tested and code-verified.

  2. Tankless Flush & Descale

    Kelowna's hard water builds scale inside tankless heat exchangers fast. Annual flushing keeps efficiency up and preserves the manufacturer warranty.

  3. Repairs & Diagnostics

    Not every tank needs replacing. We repair elements, thermostats, and valves when it makes sense, especially on tanks still under warranty.

  4. Leak & Pressure Issues

    A puddle under the tank isn't always the tank. Pressure relief valve failures and fitting leaks are common. We diagnose before recommending replacement.

  5. Anode Rod Service

    The sacrificial anode keeps Kelowna's hard water from eating the tank. A rod swap at year 5–6 can nearly double tank life: much cheaper than replacement.

  6. Rental Property Service

    Rutland, Glenmore, and Mission rental units! We work with property managers on scheduled maintenance, fast repairs, and tenant-friendly install timing.

How It Works

From Call to Hot Shower

  1. Tell Us What's Happening

    No hot water, visible leak, rusty water. A quick description helps us bring the right Kelowna-stocked tank and parts on the first visit.

  2. On-Site Diagnosis

    We check the unit, test gas, electrical, and water supply, and tell you honestly whether a repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.

  3. Straight Quote

    Both options priced when both are realistic. No fear tactics, no push toward the most expensive tank on the shelf.

  4. Install or Repair

    We complete the work cleanly, haul the old tank away, and verify temperature, pressure, and safety devices before leaving.

  5. Warranty & Support

    You leave with paperwork, warranty info, and a direct number. If something's off later, we come back. Same Kelowna team, not a third party.

Why Stevenson

Why Kelowna Picks Us for Hot Water

Same-Day in Kelowna

Common tank sizes stocked in our Okanagan inventory. Call early and you're usually back in hot water the same day! Not "Thursday of next week".

We Flush Tankless Properly

Kelowna water is hard on heat exchangers. We descale to manufacturer spec on schedule so tankless units hit their full 20-year lifespan instead of failing at 8.

No-Pressure Quotes

If a $200 repair fixes it, we say so. We don't push new tanks on units that still have years of service life left just to inflate the ticket.

Gas + Electric In-House

Licensed gas fitters and electricians on the same team: From gas valve issues or wiring upgrades handled without scheduling a sub-trade.

Common Questions

Hot Water Tank FAQ in Kelowna, BC

With Kelowna's hard water, standard tanks typically last 8–12 years. Regular flushing and anode rod replacement can push that meaningfully higher; neglect can cut it in half.

In most cases, yes. We stock common gas and electric tank sizes locally. Same-day replacements are routine if you call early in the day.

Kelowna water deposits mineral scale inside tankless heat exchangers. An annual flush maintains efficiency, prevents error codes, and keeps the manufacturer warranty valid. Skipping it for even two or three years shortens unit life significantly.

Depends on household size, gas supply, and hot water habits. We walk you through real pros, cons, and payback honestly. For many Kelowna homes, a quality tank still makes the most financial sense.

Usually a failing anode rod or sediment buildup. A flush and rod replacement often fixes it without replacing the tank, saving several hundred dollars.

Yes! Removal and disposal of the old unit is included in every replacement across Kelowna. You don't arrange anything separately.

Shadd and his team are absolutely wonderful and did a great job. I needed a basement sink plumbed and new washer dryer hookups and they were able to get it done in short order, kept everything tidy and were super easy to deal with. They knew my budget and worked with me to stay within it and gave me everything I needed. They are very professional, skilled and their prices are more than reasonable. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY US! 4 weeks ago, our hot water and air conditioning quit working on the same day! I called and spoke with the AMAZING Denise, she had Alex out at our shop within the day and he had everything diagnosed and parts ordered, not long after the first appointment, he had our hot water back in working order and then our A/C was repaired after that! Anytime we have had any issues, they have been very prompt to show up on the same day and Alex fixed it all! Such amazing and friendly services! You all have a forever client with Integra Tire and our team moving forward! Thank You!

Plumbing problems are never fun, but we appreciated how Stevenson Mechanical handled the replacement of our sump pump --from booking the appointment to the on-time arrival of our plumber and his friendly, competent service (which included persevering through some unexpected issues). Thank you for your expertise and excellent service!

Yet again outstanding service, owner came to assist very quickly. Answered all my questions. Thanks guys.

This company is great! We needed to have our air conditioning unit disconnected and moved temporarily as we were getting our backyard patio redone. They were able to accommodate our last minute request, they completed the work quickly and got our unit reconnected just in time to beat the heat ! I would highly recommend them!
