Endless hot water and a smaller footprint. We size the unit to your fixtures and Guelph's cold winter inlet temperature so it actually keeps up.

Call 226-756-2116A large share of Guelph homes still rent their water heater, often paying more over ten years than three new tanks would cost. If your tank is 10 to 12 years old, rumbling, or has started to leak, replacing it with a unit you own is usually the better math. We handle the rental return paperwork and install the new heater the same day, so you are never without hot water.
Sizing matters more than brand. A family of four with two showers running in the morning needs a different tank — or a properly sized tankless unit — than a couple in a condo. Tankless units in particular are often undersized by installers who do not account for Guelph's winter inlet water temperature, which can drop below 5°C. We size for the worst week of the year, not the brochure.

A standard gas or electric tank installed is typically in the low-to-mid four figures depending on size and venting. Tankless units cost more up front, especially if the gas line or venting needs upgrading. We quote the full installed price, including permit, before any work.
If you plan to stay in your home more than three or four years, buying almost always wins. Rental fees run indefinitely and increase, while an owned tank costs a few years of rental payments and is yours. We can show you the numbers for your actual rental rate.
Usually, yes. We stock the common tank sizes and can often install the day you call if the old one is leaking. Tankless conversions take a bit longer because of gas and venting work.
Yes — the City of Guelph requires a plumbing permit for a water heater replacement, and gas-fired units also need the gas work done by a licensed technician. We pull the permit and book the inspection as part of the job.
For larger households that run out of hot water, or homes short on space, yes. For a couple with modest hot water use, a well-sized tank is cheaper and simpler. Hard water is the main enemy of tankless units here, so a softener or regular descaling is part of the plan.
