In Ontario, a lot of hot water tanks are rented. Rent vs buy a water heater changes who you call when it breaks. Pick yours.

We don't give contract or legal advice. Your rental agreement sets the terms.Tank size
What size water heater do you need? It comes down to how many people and how many bathrooms. Pick yours and watch the tank fill.
People in the house
Bathrooms
A 40 gallon hot water tank is plenty for one or two people.
A 50 gallon water heater covers most families of three or four.
A 60 gallon hot water tank keeps up with a big household.
Five or more people and two bathrooms: a 60 gallon minimum, or look at tankless.
Types
A gas water heater in the villages, a propane water heater out on the rural roads, an electric water heater anywhere, or an on-demand water heater that never runs out. Tankless water heater installation needs the right gas line and venting; we check both before we quote.
Repair or replace
How long does a water heater last? Often 10 to 12 years for a tank, longer with care. Most breakdowns before that are a water heater element, a thermostat or an anode. After that, water heater replacement starts to make more sense.
Hard and well water
Most of the township is on wells or hard water, and both shorten a tank's life.
Boilers
A boiler heats the water for your radiators or floors; a combi boiler heats your tap water too. Boiler repair, yearly service and replacement.
Installation
Water heater installation the same way every time: clean, in order, and the power stays off until the tank is full. Hot water tank installation or water heater replacement near me, it's one visit once the right tank is on hand.
Expansion tank: with a check valve or a backflow device, the plumbing becomes a closed system and the heated water needs room to expand. Many homes here have one, so we add an expansion tank where it's needed.
New tank: manufacturer's warranty. We show you the shut-offs before we leave.
Maintenance
Water heater maintenance once a year keeps a tank going longer, especially on hard or well water. Tick what's been done this year.

All done. See you next year!

I went downstairs to do laundry and found water spreading across the utility room floor. At first I thought one of the copper connections above the water heater was leaking, but the water was coming from underneath the tank. We shut off the water and called for a plumber. He checked the connections, inspected the tank and confirmed that it had developed a leak that couldn't be repaired. He drained and removed the old unit, then installed a new 60-gallon electric water heater. He checked the shutoff valve, supply connections, temperature and pressure relief valve, and drain pan before putting everything back into service. Replacing a water heater wasn't in our plans, but the technician explained the work and kept the area clean. Once the new tank had heated up, we had hot water again and the floor stayed dry.
Emergency Water Heater ReplacementWe were getting barely enough hot water for one shower, even though the tank was only a few years old. I was expecting to replace the whole thing. The technician tested both heating elements and found the lower one wasn't working. He replaced the element, checked the thermostats and made sure the tank was heating properly. He also explained how long it would take for the water to reach temperature. A straightforward repair that solved the problem.
Electric Water Heater RepairWe decided to go with a gas tankless water heater when replacing our old storage tank. The installer checked the gas supply and venting requirements before confirming which unit would work for our house. The new heater was mounted on the utility room wall with the water connections, vent pipes and condensate drain neatly installed. He tested the hot water at several fixtures and showed us the controls. It's been working well, and we have more usable floor space.
Tankless Water Heater InstallationI kept finding water underneath the discharge pipe on our hot water tank. It wasn't a lot at first, but it was happening almost every day. The plumber checked the water pressure and tank temperature before looking at the relief valve. He found that the valve wasn't sealing properly and replaced it. After testing the system, he explained what the valve does and why the discharge pipe should never be blocked. No more dripping since the repair.
Water Heater Relief Valve RepairWe needed a new water heater for our smaller home, but the utility room has limited space. The technician measured everything before recommending a 40-gallon electric tank. He removed the old unit, installed the new heater and arranged the piping so the shutoff and drain valve were still easy to reach. He checked the connections and walked us through the temperature settings. Everything looks tidy and the hot water is working well.
40-Gallon Water Heater InstallationWhen we opened the cottage after winter, we noticed water dripping from one of the connections above the electric hot water tank. We hadn't turned the heater back on yet, thankfully. The plumber found a damaged connector and replaced it, then checked the shutoff valve and the other fittings. He made sure the tank was full and the air was purged before restoring power. No leaks during testing, and the hot water was ready for our weekend.
Cottage Water Heater RepairOur gas water heater was getting old and had started making rumbling noises when heating. We decided to replace it before it became an emergency. The technician checked the gas supply and existing power vent setup before installing the replacement unit. He tested the gas connections, venting and hot water operation and explained the maintenance instructions. The new heater runs much more quietly, and the work area was left clean.
Gas Water Heater ReplacementAt our small business, we were waiting far too long for hot water to reach the washroom sinks. The water heater itself was working, so we weren't sure what was wrong. The plumber checked the hot water recirculation loop and found the circulator wasn't operating. He replaced the faulty pump and checked the water temperature at several fixtures afterward. The hot water reaches the sinks much faster now. The work was arranged around our business hours.

Types of water heatersUsually sulphur in the water reacting with the anode. A different anode often fixes it; on a well, a filter fixes the source.
Hard and well waterIf your home has a check valve or a backflow device, yes: the heated water needs somewhere to expand.
Expansion tanksYes, 24/7. Close the cold water valve on top of the tank and turn off the power or gas while you wait.
