Water Heaters in Etobicoke
Water heaters fail in January, when incoming water is coldest and the burner runs hardest. We repair what's worth repairing, replace what isn't, and get hot water back the same day wherever we can.
When a water heater is telling you something
- Hot water runs out faster than it used to
- Rumbling or popping as the burner runs
- Rusty or cloudy water in the first draw of the day
- Damp or rust around the base of the tank
- The pilot or burner keeps going out
- The tank is well past its expected service life
Repair, replace or go tankless
Repair
Thermocouples, gas valves, elements, thermostats and anode rods are all replaceable. If the tank itself is sound, a repair is usually the sensible call and we'll say so.
Tank replacement
Once a tank leaks from the shell, no repair brings it back. We size the replacement to the household, connect and vent it to code, and take the old unit away.
Tankless
Continuous hot water and a basement corner back — but only when the gas supply and venting can support it. We check that first and tell you honestly whether your home suits one.
Water quality
If the complaint is taste, sediment or staining rather than temperature, filtration or testing is the better starting point than a new heater.
Etobicoke basements vary enormously — a low-ceilinged Alderwood bungalow, a utility closet in a Humber Bay condo and a Kingsway mechanical room each impose different limits on tank height, venting and access. We look at the space before recommending a unit. Related: water heater repair, tankless water heaters and water filtration.
