FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in Elora?
A tankless unit heats water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss and cutting energy use by 30–40 % compared with a storage tank. You get endless hot water, a compact wall-mounted appliance that frees up floor space, a life expectancy of 20+ years, and a lower risk of leaks or floods. Many ENERGY STAR® models also qualify for provincial and utility rebates, helping offset the upfront cost.
How do I know what size or capacity tankless water heater my home needs?
Tankless units are sized by flow rate (litres per minute or gallons per minute) at a given temperature rise. We add up the maximum number of fixtures you might run at once—shower, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.—and calculate the total flow. In a typical three-bathroom Elora home that could be 8–10 GPM with a 50 °C temperature rise, so we might recommend a 180,000–199,000 BTU condensing gas model. Our technicians provide a free on-site assessment to ensure you get the exact capacity you need without overspending.
Will a tankless water heater keep up during Elora’s cold winters?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency condensing units are designed to handle incoming groundwater as cold as 4 °C (39 °F) and still deliver a comfortable 55 °C (130 °F) outlet temperature. We choose a model with sufficient BTU input and, if necessary, stage two units in parallel for very large homes. Every installation is calculated for worst-case winter conditions, and we back performance with a written hot-water-on-demand guarantee.
How long does installation take and what does the process involve?
Most residential installations are completed in one day—typically 4–8 hours. We remove the old storage tank, upsize the gas line if required, install stainless-steel or PVC venting, add a condensation drain, mount the new unit, and connect water lines with isolation/flush valves. The system is then flushed, pressure-tested, and commissioned. We handle permits and arrange any TSSA or municipal inspections so you don’t have to.
Are there rebates or incentives for tankless water heaters in Elora or Ontario?
Yes. Enbridge Gas’s Home Efficiency Rebate Plus (HER+) currently offers up to $1,300 for replacing a standard tank with an ENERGY STAR® condensing tankless unit when combined with a home energy audit. The federal Greener Homes Grant may add a further $250–$400, and some municipalities offer an additional $500 incentive or low-interest loans. Our office completes the paperwork and supplies the proof-of-installation documents to make sure you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require and do you service what you install?
To keep the heat exchanger clean and the warranty valid, manufacturers recommend a yearly flush with food-grade vinegar (or a citric solution) and a quick check of the inlet filter, venting, and condensate line. The service usually takes about an hour and costs roughly $150. We offer discounted annual maintenance plans for customers in Elora and can schedule reminders so your unit runs at peak efficiency for its full 20-year lifespan.
