Water Heater Installation in Toronto & the GTA
Hot water is something you only think about when it’s gone. EcoCare Home Comfort installs dependable tank and tankless water heaters from top brands including Navien and Rinnai, sized for your household’s actual hot-water demand. Every installation includes safe gas-line and venting work, water-line connections, pressure and temperature valve setup, system testing, and removal of your old unit. All installs are backed by our workmanship warranty plus the manufacturer’s warranty, and we handle any required permits and inspections.
Tank vs. Tankless — Which Is Right for You?
Traditional tank water heaters cost less upfront and are simple and reliable — a good fit if your current setup works and your household’s needs haven’t changed. Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you turn the tap, so there’s no standby energy loss and no running out of hot water mid-shower. They cost more to install but last roughly twice as long and take up far less space. During your free consultation, we’ll look at your household size, usage patterns, and existing connections, then recommend the option with the best long-term value — never an oversized unit you don’t need.
Water Heater Repair — Same-Day Service
No hot water, strange rumbling from the tank, or water pooling around the base? Our certified technicians serve Toronto, Scarborough, Brampton, and the surrounding GTA with same-day water heater repair and true 24/7 emergency service. From failed heating elements and faulty thermostats to gas-valve issues and leaking tanks, we diagnose on the spot, explain your options in plain language, and give you an upfront price before any work begins. We service all major water heater brands and models.
Water Heater Maintenance
Annual maintenance extends your water heater’s life and keeps it efficient: tank flushing to remove sediment, anode-rod inspection, pressure-relief valve testing, and burner or element checks. For tankless units, yearly descaling is essential in areas with hard water. Ask about our maintenance plans — one visit a year prevents most surprise breakdowns.
Signs Your Water Heater Is Failing
Call us if you notice: rusty or discoloured hot water, rumbling or popping noises from the tank, water that runs out faster than it used to, visible leaks or moisture around the base, or the unit is over 10–12 years old (tanks) — tankless units last longer but still need attention past 15 years. A leaking tank can flood a basement fast, so don’t wait on this one.

Water Heater FAQs
How long does a water heater last?
Tank water heaters typically last 10–12 years; tankless units often reach 20 years with proper maintenance. Annual servicing is the biggest factor.
How much does water heater installation cost in Toronto?
It depends on the type (tank vs. tankless), capacity, and any venting or gas-line changes. We provide free, no-pressure quotes with upfront pricing.
Should I repair or replace my water heater?
If the tank itself is leaking or the unit is past its expected lifespan, replacement is the honest answer. For younger units with part failures, repair usually wins — we’ll tell you straight either way.
Do tankless water heaters really save money?
They eliminate standby heat loss and last about twice as long as tanks, which offsets the higher install cost over time — especially for households with high hot-water use.
