Water Heater Repair and Replacement in Chatham, Ontario
Homes in Chatham rely on consistent hot water for daily use, from bathing to laundry to cooking and cleaning. Factors such as household size, water usage patterns, and the age of existing equipment all influence how well a water heating system performs over time.
As systems age, efficiency can decline, and reliability may be affected. Our team can help determine whether maintenance, replacement, or an upgraded water heating solution is the best fit for a home’s current and long-term needs.
How hard is the water going into Chatham water heaters?
Moderately hard. Chatham’s tap water is Lake Erie water, pumped from the lake by the Kent County Raw Pumping Station and treated at the Chatham Water Treatment Plant, and the plant’s point-of-entry test measured 110 mg/L of hardness in both November 2023 and November 2024. On heating, hard water tends to form scale deposits, as Ontario’s drinking water guidance notes.
- 110 mg/L Chatham’s treated water, November 2024: about 6.4 grains per gallon, moderately hard on the Chatham-Kent PUC’s scale
- 80 to 100 mg/L Ontario’s operational guideline for hardness, as calcium carbonate

Who delivers the gas and electricity for Chatham water heaters?
Enbridge Gas delivers the natural gas across Chatham-Kent through its Panhandle Transmission System, and its Dover Transmission Station is in the municipality. Entegrus Powerlines delivers the electricity, and Chatham is one of its two operations center locations. Enbridge Gas itself does not sell or repair water heaters; for repairs and maintenance, it tells homeowners to find an HVAC contractor.
