Ottawa water heaters

Tankless or hybrid: which fits your Ottawa home?

Many Ottawa homes have natural gas, so a tankless water heater is a popular upgrade. It heats water only when you turn on the tap, so you get endless hot water and no tank taking up space in the basement.

No gas line, or want to cut your energy use? A hybrid (heat pump) water heater pulls heat from the air around it and uses far less electricity than a standard electric tank.

Prefer a monthly payment? Rent your tankless or hybrid water heater through Enbridge Sustain. There's no credit check, the rental transfers if you sell your home, and the buyout table is shown up front.

We size either one to your household, so the hot water lasts through busy mornings. Our crews install across Ottawa, including Nepean, Kanata, Orleans, Barrhaven and Stittsville, and into nearby towns like Kemptville, Carleton Place and Rockland.

Tank

A familiar, lower upfront cost option.

Ottawa water heater reviews

Great service. Fast and smooth. Friday paperwork and the next day tankless was installed. Next weekend ductless heat pump was installed. Liam explained everything and would let you decide which options would you choose. Unlike others they just want to sell and forget to give you choices. Amazing company. I recommend.

FAQs

Ottawa water heater questions we hear every week

It depends on your home: the size your household needs, your gas line and your venting. Most Ottawa homes have natural gas, which makes tankless a good fit. We offer a free assessment and a written quote with the full price, and you can buy, finance or rent.

For many Ottawa homes on natural gas, yes. You get endless hot water, a smaller footprint and no tank to replace every 10 to 15 years. It costs more upfront than a tank, so we'll show you both side by side.

Yes. You can rent a tankless or hybrid water heater through Enbridge Sustain, our rental partner. There's no credit check, the rental transfers if you sell your home, and the buyout table is shown up front. Your advisor compares renting, financing and buying side by side at your free assessment. See our financing options.

Yes, up to $500 on a qualifying model.

It depends on your budget and your plans. Buying usually costs the least over time. Renting has no big up-front cost, and the Enbridge rental needs no credit check and transfers if you sell. Financing sits in between: you own it and pay monthly. Your advisor puts all three side by side, in writing, so you can choose.

Most tank water heaters last about 10 to 15 years, and tankless units often last 20 years or more. Yearly flushing and a good install help. If yours is leaking or rusty, it's time to price a replacement.

If two or more major parts of your new water heater fail in the first 24 months, we replace the whole unit at no cost to you. Keep up with the recommended maintenance to stay covered. See our guarantees page for the full terms.
