Toronto Water Heater Installation & Repair Services
The distinction between needing a small fix or a complete replacement for your water heater may be stark, but it may be difficult for the homeowner to determine which category the water heater falls under.
At Toronto Plumbing and Sewer, we inspect water heaters on a daily basis that homeowners are experiencing issues with, ranging from a malfunctioning unit to leakage from beneath the heater. We examine the water heater, the connections, and the overall plumbing setup before suggesting any next steps.
Water Heater Repair
All of your troubles will not require you to replace your water heater. In many cases, we can diagnose the issue and make the necessary repairs.
Water Heater Installation
Replacing your water heater isn’t only about replacing the old water heater with a new one. There is more that comes into play regarding the sizing, connections, and setup of the heater.
Water Heater Replacement
In case of leaks on the tank, malfunctioning of the heater and insufficient hot water production, replacing the old model may be a better solution. We will assist you in selecting a proper replacement rather than suggesting a more expensive unit.
Service of Traditional Tank Water Heaters
Standard tank heaters remain popular appliances in the Toronto homes. Our specialists will fix your old unit or replace it with a new one in case it cannot be repaired anymore.
Installation and Maintenance of Tankless Water Heaters
Have an interest in converting into a tankless heater? Our specialists will help you to install and maintain this type of heating unit and decide whether it is a reasonable decision for your home.
Leaking Tank Water Heater Repairs
A drop in the bucket does not necessarily indicate a problem with the tank. Leaks might originate from other sources such as fittings, valves or pipes.
When Should You Call For Water Heater Repair?
Usually, it is only when one steps into a cold shower that one begins to think about the water heater. By then, the chances are that there will be something wrong.
One does not have to wait for the heater to malfunction completely before seeking professional help. Usually, the heater signals a malfunction a little beforehand. This could possibly make things easier by avoiding a major breakdown in the future. The following are some of the signs:
- The water is not heating sufficiently: Should your showers be coming out warm or should you be running out of hot water sooner than usual, there may be some problem with your water heater.
- Water is accumulating around the water heater: Even a small amount of water requires your attention because it may stem from a valve, a connection, a pipe, or even the water heater itself.
- You hear sounds such as popping and rumbling: Such sounds may be emanating from the water heater due to the sedimentation at its bottom.
- The pilot keeps going out: When the pilot does not light, the problem must be addressed.
- Your water seems rusty: Rust-colored or rusty water might indicate problems related to corrosion and should never be overlooked.
- The heater keeps shutting down: Multiple shutdowns will always signal some sort of malfunction.
- Your equipment is old and requires constant repairs: There will eventually come a time when it is economically unwise to invest in repairs on the old heater.
- All of a sudden, you do not have any hot water: An absence of hot water is definitely an appropriate reason to get in touch.
Not sure whether you need a repair or a new water heater? Tell us what the heater is doing. We can inspect it and help you make that decision.

FAQs
What is the price for water heater repairs in Toronto?
This will depend on the cause of the failure, the model of the water heater, and the necessary repairs. A plumber must do an inspection to give you a proper estimate for your repairs.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
Replacing your heater makes more sense when the problem involves a component that can be replaced if the unit is relatively new or if there is a leakage in the heater or it has become old.
How long do water heaters last?
A traditional water heater will typically last 8 to 12 years but this will vary depending on factors like installation and water quality. When an older heater causes trouble, compare repair costs with replacement costs.
Why does my water heater make a banging sound?
Sediment can build up in your water heater over time. As the water heater operates, hot water can form around this sediment, resulting in a popping or banging sound. The plumber can assess the water heater to see if a solution such as flushing is necessary.
What do I need to do when there is a leak coming from the water heater?
If you can safely access the water shut-off valve, shut off the water flowing into the water heater. In case the water heater is powered by gas, be very careful since sparks could ignite the gas. Depending on where the leak is coming from, a faulty connection or valve might be repairable. On the other hand, if the tank itself is leaking, then a replacement is necessary.
