Cheakamus DES Disconnect

Cheakamus neighborhood was originally the 2010 Winter Olympics athletes village, with a DES system designed for high use as each property housed multiple athletes.

Now the homes are residential, but the systems are still oversized and costly to maintain. Although originally designed to be efficient and sustainable, the system has proven to be expensive and poorly designed, costing owners thousands in repairs.


Lee Carter Plumbing Ltd have designed a cost-effective and long-lasting replacement system which is low-maintenance and suitable for Cheakamus property owners.

We install an electric boiler for the heating and an Eco King stainless steel hot water tank, which has a lifetime warranty. We’ve installed multiple systems in the neighborhood and haven’t had any complaints – the systems perform great!

As an added bonus, the amount of storage space created is impressive. All our systems are DES disconnect permitted, electrical permitted, and eligible for the WHA capital improvements.

So if you’re a Cheakamus property owner looking for a reliable, cost-effective and long-lasting system that won’t require costly repairs, look no further than Lee Carter Plumbing Ltd
