4
Install & Commission
Old unit out, new unit in. Electrical, venting, commissioning, and a full draw-temperature test — same day.
Diagnostics
Water Heater Problems We Fix Every Day
Most are solved same-day with parts we carry on our trucks.
No Hot Water
Failed pilot, tripped thermostat, heating element burnout, or a dead gas valve — the most common emergency call. Most resolved same day.
$150 – $450
Lukewarm Water Only
Sediment buildup reducing heat transfer, a weak heating element, or a thermostat set too low. Common in Toronto homes with hard water.
$100 – $350
Water Heater Leaking
Corroded tank wall, failed pressure relief valve, or loose fittings. A leaking tank over 10 years old usually warrants replacement.
$100 – $400
Rumbling or Popping Sounds
Sediment at the bottom of the tank crackling under heat. A flush may solve it; heavy sediment build-up often means it is time for a new unit.
$100 – $300
Pilot Light Will Not Stay Lit
Thermocouple failure, draft issues, or a dirty pilot orifice. Common on tanks over 8 years. Usually a straightforward repair.
$150 – $350
Running Out of Hot Water Fast
Tank undersized for current household, sediment reducing capacity, or a failed dip tube. We size the replacement correctly the first time.
$150 – $500

Common Questions
Heat Pump Water Heater — FAQ
What is a heat pump water heater?
A heat pump water heater (HPWH or hybrid water heater) uses electricity to move heat from the surrounding air into the water tank — similar to how a fridge moves heat out, but in reverse. It uses 60-70% less electricity than a standard electric tank, and roughly half the operating cost of a gas tank. Most units look like a slightly taller standard tank with a heat pump module on top.
How much does a heat pump water heater cost in Toronto?
Heat pump water heater installs in Toronto run $3,500 to $5,500 before rebates, depending on tank size (50, 65, or 80 gallon) and whether your existing setup needs venting changes. Larger homes (4+ people) usually need an 80-gallon unit. Free in-home estimate confirms exact pricing.
Are there rebates for heat pump water heaters in Ontario?
Yes. The Save On Energy / Home Renovation Savings program offers $500 back on qualifying ENERGY STAR-certified heat pump water heaters installed in Ontario homes. The rebate is paid directly to the homeowner in 6-12 weeks after install. Confirm the rebate submission process with your installer.
How much do they save on hot water bills?
A typical Ontario household using 60-80 gallons per day saves $200-$400 per year on hot water with a heat pump water heater versus a standard electric tank, and $100-$200 versus a gas tank. Over the unit's 12-15 year life, that adds up to $2,500-$5,000 in savings — and that's before factoring in rebates.
Do they work in cold basements?
Yes. Heat pump water heaters operate efficiently down to ~7°C ambient air temperature. Most Toronto basements stay at 12-18°C year-round. They run as standard electric resistance below ~7°C as backup. They actually help dehumidify the basement during summer — a common comfort win.
How long does install take?
Most HPWH installs are completed in one day — typically 4 to 6 hours. This includes draining and removing the old tank, installing and venting the new unit, electrical connection (most need a dedicated 240V circuit), and full system commissioning. We also test the heat pump module and confirm draw temperatures.
Can I add a HPWH if I have gas service?
Yes. Many Toronto homeowners are switching from gas tanks to electric heat pump water heaters because the operating cost is now competitive (and often lower) compared to natural gas, especially with the rebate. The choice depends on your panel capacity and basement layout — we assess this during the estimate.
What brands do you install?
We install Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, and GE heat pump water heaters — all ENERGY STAR-certified and rebate-eligible. We carry common parts so we can service any unit we install.
