What affects the price

When you are looking at the price of a new water heater, a few main things shift the final number. The type of unit you choose—whether it is a tank model or a tankless system—is the biggest factor. You also have to consider the fuel source, like gas or electric, and the physical space where the heater sits. If your home needs new venting, updated piping, or a different hookup to meet current safety codes, that adds labor time to the project.

About this service

Electric water heaters use heating elements inside the tank to warm your water. If your unit stops heating, we typically check the thermostat, the heating elements, and the electrical breakers. You need service if you are getting cold water or if the breaker keeps tripping. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Even though it is warm outside, your water heater is still working daily. Summer is a great time to adjust your settings, as the incoming water isn't as cold, which can actually help extend the life of your unit. If you are planning a home renovation or just want to upgrade to a more efficient model, call us to talk through your options.

Frequently asked in Ontario

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

Electric water heaters in Ontario typically last between 8 to 12 years. This lifespan can be influenced by local water hardness and consistent maintenance. If your unit is showing signs of wear or experiencing frequent issues, it might be time for a professional evaluation. The pros can help you assess its condition.

What is the average cost of putting in a water heater?

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Heat pump electric water heaters are generally the most energy-efficient choice, as they utilize ambient air to heat water. Tankless electric water heaters are also highly efficient because they provide hot water on demand, reducing energy waste. The pros can guide you to the best option for your household.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

You should consider a new water heater if you experience inconsistent hot water, notice strange noises like rumbling or popping, or see signs of rust or leaks. A professional assessment is recommended.

What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?

Common issues include failures of the heating elements or thermostats, and sediment buildup within the tank. Sediment can decrease efficiency and create noise. Leaks, particularly from the tank itself or the temperature and pressure relief valve, are also frequent concerns. The pros can effectively address these.

Is it worth it to repair a water heater?

Repairing a water heater can be worthwhile for younger units with minor issues, like a faulty heating element or thermostat. However, if the tank is leaking or corroded, or if the unit is nearing its typical lifespan, purchasing a new one is usually more cost-effective in the long run. Seek expert advice.
