When your water heater fails in Toronto you need hot water back today. Megacity HVAC installs tank, tankless, and heat-pump water heaters across Toronto — TSSA-certified, Authorized Lennox Dealer, Enbridge Sustain Trusted Partner.


Toronto's housing stock spans century-old Annex Victorians, post-war Leaside bungalows, midcentury East York semis, and modern downtown condos. Each has its own water-heating realities — and the same one-size-fits-all approach that big-box rental companies push is rarely the smartest call for your home and your budget.
Megacity HVAC has serviced Toronto water heaters for over 25 years. Pre-1960 homes in Cabbagetown, Parkdale, and the Junction often have tight basement utility rooms where a tankless wall-hung unit saves valuable floor space. Newer Leaside and High Park homes commonly have venting paths that make condensing tankless units a clean upgrade. Downtown condos with electric-only service are prime candidates for heat-pump water heaters — quieter, more efficient, and eligible for $500 in Enbridge HRS rebates.
No cold-shower weekends — we answer day or night and dispatch fast.
A firm price before any work starts. You approve it — no surprises.
Every tech is TSSA-certified and background-checked. Full warranty support.
Top-rated on Google and HomeStars, serving the GTA since 1999.

All specifications are published by the manufacturer. We install and service these systems across Toronto & the GTA.
Tell us the symptoms over the phone. We dispatch with the right parts for a same-day fix or swap.
We check the tank, burner assembly, gas valve, thermocouple, anode, and connections — finding root cause, not just symptoms.
A clear, fixed price for repair or replacement. You approve before we touch anything.
We install, purge lines, test water temperature, check for leaks, and clean up — job done right the first time.
Most repairs are completed same-day with parts we carry on our trucks.
Failed pilot light, faulty thermocouple, failed gas valve, or a dead heating element on electric units. Usually diagnosed and fixed in one visit.
Sediment buildup on the burner, failing dip tube, or a thermostat set too low. Flushing + parts replacement restores full output.
A depleted anode rod lets the tank corrode from the inside. If caught early, a new anode extends tank life; late-stage means replacement.
Sediment on the tank floor heats and pops during the burn cycle — a classic sign of an aging tank. Flushing helps; deep sediment usually warrants replacement.
Leaking drain valve, T&P relief valve discharge, or a corroded tank seam. T&P and drain valve leaks are repairable; tank seam leaks mean replacement.
An aging, low-efficiency tank (older than 10 years) often uses 25–35% more gas than a modern condensing tankless or high-efficiency tank.
Authorized Lennox Dealer — and fully equipped to install, repair, and maintain every major HVAC brand sold in Ontario.












Standard tank and tankless water heaters are not covered by current rebate programs — but as a certified Enbridge Sustain Trusted Partner, we install a new water heater with nothing down and a fixed monthly payment.
Tank water heaters in Toronto typically install for $1,200 to $1,800. High-efficiency condensing tankless units run $2,800 to $4,500 installed. Heat-pump water heaters cost $3,500 to $5,000 before Enbridge Home Renovation Savings rebates of $500. Free in-home estimates with transparent upfront pricing.
Tank water heaters cost less upfront and work for typical 2-4 person households with 40-50 gallon demand. Tankless units cost more but last 20+ years (vs 10-12 for tank), save 25-35% on gas, and never run out — best for larger families and bathroom-heavy homes. Heat-pump water heaters are the most efficient but need an 8x8 ft installation space with adequate clearance.
Yes. Most tank replacements complete same-day. Tankless installations require gas line upsizing and venting work, typically 4 to 8 hours start to finish. Heat-pump water heaters need electrical work and may take a day or two depending on existing service. Call (416) 286-5665 by 10 AM for a same-day install slot.
Under the 2026 Home Renovation Savings program, condensing tankless water heaters replacing a gas water heater may qualify for up to $500. Heat-pump water heaters (HPWH) may also qualify for $500. No energy audit required for either. Rebates are filed by a program-registered contractor — ask us or visit the HRS program website to confirm current contractor eligibility and program terms before installation.
Replace if: 10+ years old, rust-coloured water, rumbling or banging during heat cycle, water pooling around the tank, or steadily rising gas bills. Modern high-efficiency units cut gas usage 25-35%. Most Toronto homes built before 2010 have first or second-generation tanks at end-of-life now — a planned replacement beats an emergency-replacement premium.
Yes — heat-pump water heaters (HPWH) work well in unfinished Toronto basements with adequate ambient temperature year-round (above 13°C). Tight finished spaces may not work since HPWH units need 800+ cubic feet of free air around them. We assess space, ducting options, and electrical service during a free consultation before recommending HPWH vs tankless vs tank.
