We Can Repair Any Type of Water Heater in Ottawa
We can repair any type of hot water heater in Ottawa – either a traditional water heater or a gas tankless heater. But first – make sure it’s not a rental water heater! For repairs, tune ups, or tankless water heater installation, give us a call or book online.
Many people rent their tank and tankless water heaters. With a rental gas unit, your company should be able to sort out any issues you may have with your tank and replace it if needed.
If you are unsure if you own or rent your tank/tankless unit, a sticker or label should be displayed on gas units that may show the rental company’s information. Alternatively you can look at your utility bills to see if you have rental charges on them. This will be a hydro or gas bill depending on the heat source for your tank. The rental only covers the tank, but not the supply lines to and from it.
If you own your own tank, you will need to call a professional licensed plumber to correct any hot water tank leaks or hot water heater problems.

Types of Water Heaters – Which Should You Install?
There are two major players in the water heater category – the traditional water heater tank and the tankless style. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and choosing the right one will depend on several things.
Traditional Water Heater Installation
The more traditional tank-style water heater stores heated water until it is required through a fixture point. It then tops up its level until needed again.
Pros
- Less expensive to buy.
- Less expensive to install (as many homes are already set up with the correct gas lines for them).
- Maintenance is less critical to their operation.
Cons
- They’re not very energy efficient. Hot water tanks are always using energy to heat water, no matter the time of day or night. If gas prices go up, water tank users will feel the pinch.
- Once you’ve used up the tank of water, you need to wait until more water is heated. This can be an issue with larger families or people who frequently have guests overnight.
- These units can take up a fair amount of space.
- With some types of breakdown, the full tank of water is released onto your basement floor.
Hot water tanks are often a better buy for people who are planning to sell their home in the near future, as they won’t be around when the energy savings add up to pay for the cost of the installation. They are also good for people who are on a very tight budget.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
The tankless hot water heater essentially heats the water as it flows through the unit from the household mains supply and then distributes it to the many fixtures in the home.
Tankless water heaters take up less space than a traditional water heater and are energy efficient, although on the flip side, you may have to run the water for a while to get the hot water to the fixture. If the unit is gas powered, then a vent line needs to be installed through an exterior wall for safety reasons.
Tankless water heaters cost more than traditional water heaters but ultimately, they reduce energy bills.
