Water heater service from our Aurora base

Aurora is our home base, which usually makes it the quickest place for us to reach. When your water heater stops working, that matters.

We repair gas and electric tanks, power-vented and high-efficiency models, and tankless units. If a repair makes sense, we fix it. If the tank is leaking, rumbling or running out of hot water sooner than it used to, we give you a flat price to replace it.

Every installation is sized to your household, vented properly and tested before we leave.

Water heater services in Aurora

Repair, replacement and new installations for every common type of residential water heater.

Water heater repair

No hot water, not enough hot water, a pilot that will not stay lit, a failed element, a leaking relief valve or rumbling from the tank. We find the faulty part and fix it.

Hot water tank replacement

When a tank is leaking or worn out, we remove it, install the new one to code with proper venting and shut-offs, and test it.

Water heater installation

New gas or electric tanks, power-vented and high-efficiency models, sized to how many people and bathrooms the heater serves.

Tankless water heater installation

Endless hot water and space savings. We confirm the gas line and venting can support a tankless unit before recommending one.

Tankless descaling and repair

Hard York Region water scales up tankless heat exchangers. Error codes and units that shut off mid-shower are often fixed with a descale and service.

Rented tank replacement

If your rented tank has failed or you would rather own one, we can install a tank you own. Check your rental agreement for how the old unit is returned.

Hard water and Aurora water heaters

York Region reports that its water is usually hard or very hard, and Aurora is no exception. That mineral content settles in the bottom of a tank as scale, which makes the burner or element work harder and shortens the heater's life.

Flushing the tank once a year helps. In the older homes around Yonge and Wellington, water heaters often share tight basements with original venting, so we check clearances and venting before recommending a replacement.

A water softener removes the minerals before they reach your heater and fixtures, which helps tank and tankless heaters last longer.

Signs your water heater needs attention

Hot water runs out much faster than it used to
Water pooling around the base of the tank
Rumbling, popping or banging as the tank heats
Rusty or discoloured hot water
A pressure-relief valve that drips or discharges
A tank that is 10 to 12 years old or more

Not sure how old yours is? Our guide on how long a hot water tank lasts shows how to tell.

What affects the cost of a water heater

Every job is quoted on site after we see the heater and the space it sits in. You approve a flat price before work begins. The main factors are:

Repair or replacement, and which part has failed
Tank or tankless, gas or electric, and the size you need
Venting: a standard chimney vent, power vent or direct vent
Gas line size and whether it needs upgrading for a tankless unit
Access to the heater and the space around it

There are no dispatch fees or overtime charges. See how our diagnostic and flat pricing works.

Aurora water heater questions

How long does a hot water tank last in Aurora?

A conventional tank usually lasts about 10 to 12 years, and tankless units around 15 to 20. York Region's hard water can shorten both if they are never flushed or descaled, so yearly maintenance matters.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

A failed thermostat, element, igniter or valve is usually worth repairing. A tank that leaks from the bottom cannot be repaired, and a tank past about 10 years that needs a major part is often better replaced. We give you a flat price for both options.

How much does water heater installation cost in Aurora?

It depends on the type, size and fuel, the venting, and the space. A plumber looks at your setup and gives you a flat price before any work starts. Our pricing page explains how the diagnostic works.

Why is my water heater rumbling?

Rumbling or popping is usually sediment from hard water at the bottom of the tank. Flushing can help; if the tank is old and badly scaled, replacing it may be the better value.

Should I install a water softener in Aurora?

With York Region's hard water, many Aurora households do. A softener protects your water heater, faucets and shower valves from scale. It is installed where the main line enters the house, with a bypass valve for servicing.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

Turn off the cold water supply valve on top of the heater, then the gas or power to it. If water is spreading, shut off the main water valve. Then call us.
