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
Installing a tankless system involves more than just swapping units. The price typically depends on whether your home needs gas line upgrades, new venting, or electrical modifications to support the higher power demand. Because these units heat water on demand, the infrastructure must be sized correctly for your specific flow rate. We assess your home's setup to ensure everything meets safety codes.
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?

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 considered the most efficient choice for many Ontario households. They heat water on demand, meaning you're not wasting energy keeping a large tank of water hot constantly. This can lead to significant savings on your utility bills over time.
What are signs I need a new water heater?
Signs that you need a new water heater in Ontario include inconsistent hot water temperatures, unusual noises like rumbling or popping, visible rust or leaks, or discolored or foul-smelling water. These issues often indicate that the unit is aging or malfunctioning and needs professional attention.
What is the most common problem with a hot water heater?
Sediment buildup is a frequent issue for water heaters, which can reduce efficiency and cause noise. Other common problems involve a malfunctioning thermostat or heating element. Leaks, especially around the base or fittings, are also a significant concern that requires prompt attention.
Is it worth it to repair a hot water heater?
Repairing a water heater in Ontario can be a cost-effective solution for newer units with minor problems. However, if your water heater is old and requires extensive repairs, it might be more financially sensible to invest in a new, more energy-efficient model for the long term.
