Call richardson wes plumbing and heating, I believe they charge under $700 for a 40gallon NG unit.
And you don't need a "gas permit" to change a tank, anyone that tells you you have to pay extra for a "gas permit" is full of it. Ask them if they are registered with BC safety authority and ask to see their gas contractor license.
I'm in Kamloops, so I have to deal with local contractors. Also, anything that's attached to the gas distribution system in a house requires a permit when it's being swapped or lines are being rerouted, both of which would be happening in my case. That information is actually on the BC Safety Authority website.

Regardless, I'm having a local company swing by first to check the dip tube. After Soundy's comment about it, I did a bit more research and it's sounding more and more like that may be my issue.
