Water Heater Installation and Repair Services

Water Heater Types

In Canada, the most common water heater is a conventional Hot Water Tank, but that’s not the only kind that you’ll find! Tankless Water Heaters are growing in popularity, as they offer a variety of interesting benefits.

On top of that, water heaters can often be found powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane.

Hot Water Tanks

Hot water tanks are the most common type of water heater. Water is heated and stored in this unit so that hot water is available when you need it. Due to heat escape, hot water tanks are not the most efficient water heaters, but they are very affordable. Many people rent their hot water heaters.

Water Heater Safety Checks

Water heaters should be inspected from time to time. While they are typically a safe appliance, they are in the heating business. And with heat comes safety risks.

One of our nearby plumbers can inspect your water heater and check the pressure and temperature relief valves, hot water expansion tanks spill switch, shutoff valves, flame shield, vent, temperature settings, surrounding area, and more.

A Tankless Water Heater, also known as an on-demand water heater, heats the water as you need it instead of storing it like a traditional hot water tank. This means that they’re more efficient on utilities, but does this mean that they’re right for you?

Tankless Water Heaters are typically longer-lasting, they provide endless hot water, they use less energy, they are smaller and save space, and they’re better for the environment. That being said, they are more expensive than a standard hot water tank, and they may not always provide enough hot water for your home. You need to make sure that your tankless heater can provide adequate water heating for your home.
