Hot water for big Vaughan homes

Vaughan homes often have four or more bathrooms, and a single tank serving all of them works hard. If the hot water fades when two showers run, the tank may be undersized or full of scale.

We repair gas and electric tanks, power-vented and high-efficiency models, and tankless units. Some larger homes are better served by two tanks or a tankless system with recirculation, and we will tell you honestly which suits your household.

Every installation is sized to how many people and bathrooms it serves, vented properly, and tested before we leave.

Water heater services in Vaughan

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, big demand

York Region reports that its water is usually hard or very hard. In Vaughan, that scale combines with heavy demand to wear tanks out early. Whatever you have, it should be flushed regularly and the anode rod checked every few years.

Maple and the newer parts of Kleinburg are mostly 1990s and later builds, and some have Kitec piping, usually orange and blue lines at the water heater. Replacing the heater is a good time to replace those connections; see Kitec replacement.

New homes in Ontario come with a Tarion-backed warranty that covers plumbing defects in the first two years. If a water heater problem shows up in a new build, report it to your builder in writing first.

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.

Vaughan water heater questions

How long does a hot water tank last in Vaughan?

A conventional tank usually lasts about 10 to 12 years, and tankless units around 15 to 20. York Region's hard water and the heavy demand in larger Vaughan homes can shorten both, so yearly flushing or descaling 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 Vaughan?

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.

What size water heater does a large Vaughan home need?

It depends on how many people live there and how many showers can run at once. Homes with four or more bathrooms often need a larger tank, two tanks, or a tankless unit, sometimes with a recirculation system. We size it from how your household actually uses hot water.

Do you replace Kitec connections at the water heater?

Yes. Orange and blue Kitec lines at the heater are worth replacing, and it is easiest to do when the heater is being changed.

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.
