What Does the Water Heater Installation Service Include?

Our goal is to provide exceptional customer service when discussing our installation and replacement services, and water heater installation is no exception. We understand that it is a huge investment and responsibility for homeowners to choose that particular piece of plumbing that will ensure hot baths and showers whenever they need it. But it’s also important to consider its level of energy efficiency, lifespan, and convenience.

For that reason, our professional plumbers offer formal in-home consultations, during which we introduce you to the different types of water heater installations, including:

• Tank-type hot water heater installations
• Tankless water heater installations

But that is not everything. You’ll also need to choose your preferred fuel source:

• Natural gas water heater installation: Toronto homeowners who are already hooked up with a gas furnace, will benefit from this energy-efficient installation the most.
• Electric water heater installation: If you do not have a gas furnace in place, an electric heater will be the most cost-efficient option.

Both tank-based and tankless systems can operate via gas or electricity. To help homeowners make the right choice for their water heater installation, our professional installers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing will measure their overall energy consumption and help determine the best type, brand, and size that will work most efficiently for them.

FAQs About Water Heater Installation

How Much Is A Water Heater Installation in Toronto?

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we charge per project, which means that you’ll get an upfront cost estimate prior to the start of the service request. In terms of installation costs, it will depend on whether it’s a simple water heater replacement where we replace an old unit with the same brand and type, or whether it’s an upgrade from a conventional tank to a tankless water heater installation where new gas line connections and electrical lines need to be installed. The latter comes with a higher installation cost due to its complexity. But feel free to call our dedicated office team to learn more about the certified water heater models we install and ask for a price range or better schedule a no-obligation consultation with your local Toronto plumber.

How Long Does It Take To Remove and Install A New Hot Water Tank?

The removal of the old unit shouldn’t take long, and neither should the installation of the new tank, as long as it is a simple replacement service where no additional tasks are required. Still, new water lines, gas lines, and vent pipes need to be installed and tested after the installation. But the whole process shouldn’t take more than around three hours unless you are upgrading from an electric system to a gas-powered one, then it might take around four hours.

Is It Better To Get A 40-Gallon Water Heater Installation or a 50-Gallon Tank?

40- to 50-gallon is a standard storage capacity for a household of up to six people. So if you’re between three and four, a 40-gallon tank should be plenty. That said, the operating cost between the two is not all that different, so if you want to make sure that you won’t run out of hot water, opting for the 50-gallon unit may be a better choice for your household capacity.

Do I Need A Replacement If My Hot Water Heater Is Over Ten Years Old?

The best way to determine this situation is a detailed plumbing inspection. Our licensed plumber can help measure your current heater’s efficiency by inspecting the parts and how much energy it consumes. It will also depend on the amount of routine maintenance service it has received over the years. If we find that your current heater is using more energy than it should, and you’ve already had some water heater repair services done in the past, we’ll highly recommend replacing it before it leads to costly repairs and skyrocketing water heating bills.

Is It Worth It To Get A Tankless Water Heater Installation?

Toronto, ON homeowners who opt for a tankless unit, need to be prepared for high upfront costs because it requires your professional plumbers to install electrical lines and gas lines behind walls at various locations in your home. And depending on your home’s size and household capacity, you may even need two or three tankless units to ensure your hot water on demand will always be sufficient.

The major advantage of tankless heaters is that you could save a lot of money down the road because you’re not relying on a tank to hold a hot water supply 24/7; rather, it will be heating water when you request it. Whether you have a slow or high-demand household, you can either upgrade to a larger tank or benefit from numerous tankless systems to heat water on demand. While both perform well during peak efficiency, you may find your traditional tank type to perform less efficiently after ten years, whereas your tankless unit remains efficient for 15 to 20 years and, at the same time, save you money on your energy bills. This will work ideally for households that usually have high energy usage and need a better hot water solution.
