Why Water Heater Installs Go Wrong
— and How We Avoid It
We’re fully licensed to test, install, and file under local and provincial regulations.
Improper venting leads to carbon monoxide risks
Wrong tank size = not enough hot water
Gas work without licensing is illegal (and dangerous)
Reused supply lines cause early leaks
Electrical connections must meet ESA requirements
What We Install
We do not install gas or propane models, as we’re not licensed for fuel-fired systems.
All installations meet Ontario Building Code and manufacturer warranty specs — no quick swaps, no undersized lines, no corner-cutting.
Our Installation Process
- Assess Your System
We check your existing unit, electrical supply, venting, and available space. If this is a first-time install, we’ll walk you through all requirements.If you need a gas or propane unit, we can refer you to a licensed professional.
- Sizing & Equipment Selection
We confirm the right size (gallon), help you choose a brand if needed, and explain efficiency ratings and rebate eligibility. - Proper Removal & Prep
Old units are safely drained and removed. Supply lines are inspected and replaced with new, code-approved connections — no reused fittings. Mixing values are installed as per code requirements. - Installation & Testing
We secure, connect, and test the new unit for leaks, pressure, and temperature. - Final Cleanup & Review
We leave the site clean and provide a walkthrough — including basic maintenance tips and warranty paperwork.
