Water Heater Installation Richmond HillHot Water, Sized and Vented Right
Tank or tankless, the constraints are the same: adequate gas supply, correct venting and somewhere the unit can actually be serviced.
Water Heaters
We repair and replace water heaters — conventional tanks and tankless — including the venting and plumbing connections around them.
The early warnings
- Water heaters rarely fail politely.
- Rumbling, rusty hot water or moisture around the base all come first.
- Acting on them beats a burst tank and a flooded floor.
Helpful to know
- Rumbling or popping usually means sediment build-up making the tank work harder than it should.
- Rusty hot water or dampness at the base? Have it looked at before it becomes a leak.
- Know where the water heater's shut-off valve is before you ever need it.
- Tank versus tankless is a real trade-off — endless hot water and floor space on one side, up-front complexity and hard-water maintenance on the other.

Common Questions
Tank or tankless?
Tankless frees floor space and does not run out, but needs adequate gas supply and correct venting to reach its rated output. A tank is simpler and cheaper to install. The right answer depends on the house and how you use hot water.
How long does a water heater usually last?
Tanks commonly run into their second decade, though water conditions matter. Rust-coloured water, moisture at the base or a drop in capacity are all worth a look before it fails outright.
Can a tankless unit run more than one shower at once?
It depends on the unit's flow rate and the incoming water temperature, which is lower here in winter than the rated conditions suggest. Sizing for peak simultaneous demand is the part that gets skipped and then gets noticed.
