Hard water is hard on Newmarket water heaters

York Region reports that its water is usually hard or very hard. In Newmarket that shows up as scale on fixtures and sediment in the water heater tank. Sediment insulates the water from the heat source, so the heater runs longer and wears out sooner.

Popping or rumbling sounds when the tank heats are the classic sign. Flushing the tank once a year helps, and when a tank is near the end of its life, we give you a flat price to replace it.

We repair and install gas and electric tanks, power-vented and high-efficiency models, and tankless units, and test every installation before we leave.

Water heater services in Newmarket

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.

Water heaters in Newmarket homes

Newmarket mixes heritage homes around Main Street with 1970s and 80s subdivisions and newer communities like Stonehaven and Summerhill. In the older homes, water heaters are often squeezed into tight basements with older venting; in the newer ones, larger households can outgrow a standard tank.

Homes built from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s may have grey polybutylene supply lines, which are prone to leaks. If you see grey plastic lines at your water heater, it is worth having them checked when the heater is replaced.

Many Newmarket households also install a water softener to protect the heater and fixtures from scale.

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

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.

Newmarket water heater questions

How long does a hot water tank last in Newmarket?

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.

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 Newmarket?

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 does my water heater make popping or rumbling noises?

That is usually sediment from hard water settling at the bottom of the tank. Water trapped under it boils and pops as the burner heats. Flushing the tank helps; if it is old and badly scaled, replacement may be the better value.

Should I install a water softener to protect my water heater?

In York Region it often makes sense. A softener removes the minerals that cause scale, which helps tank and tankless heaters, faucets and shower valves last longer.

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.
