What affects the price

The final price for a new water heater depends on a few moving parts. First, you have to choose the right fuel source—gas or electric—and decide if you want to stick with a standard tank or upgrade to a tankless model. We also look at the physical space where it sits and whether your current venting or gas lines meet modern safety codes. If we need to move the unit or upgrade plumbing to get it up to speed, that shifts the labor involved. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This investment covers the hardware and the specialized labor needed to mount the unit and connect it to your home’s utilities. Because tankless units are sensitive to water quality and flow, the installation process includes testing and calibration to prevent future issues.

While you might not think about hot water as much in the summer, it is a great time to evaluate your system’s health. Because the incoming groundwater is warmer, your heater doesn't have to work as hard, making it a stress-free window to replace an aging unit before you hit the busy autumn season.

Frequently asked in Ontario

How long do hot water heaters typically last?

Most standard tank water heaters last between 8 to 12 years. Tankless models, when properly maintained, can often last 20 years or more. Signs that your unit might be failing include a decrease in hot water volume, strange noises, or visible leaks around the base of the heater.

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

What is the most efficient type of water heater?

Tankless water heaters are generally the most energy-efficient option. They heat water only when it's needed, avoiding the standby energy losses associated with keeping a large tank of water hot. This can lead to significant savings on your utility bills over the life of the unit.

What are signs I need a new water heater?

Look for a significant drop in hot water supply, unusual noises like popping or rumbling, or visible leaks around the tank or pipes. If your hot water begins to smell or taste metallic, it's another strong indicator that your current water heater may be nearing the end of its operational life.

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

Sediment buildup inside the tank is a frequent issue that can reduce heating efficiency and cause noise. Another common problem involves a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element, leading to inconsistent water temperatures. Leaks from the tank itself are a serious concern that often necessitates replacement.

Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?

Repairing a newer water heater for minor issues, such as a faulty valve or thermostat, can be a cost-effective solution. However, if your unit is older and the tank shows signs of rust or leaks, replacement is usually the more economical choice in the long run. A professional can help assess the best course of action.
