Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heaters

How long does a water heater last?

Most traditional tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years. Tankless water heaters can last 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. Factors like water quality, usage levels, and annual servicing can impact lifespan. If your system is over 10 years old, it may be time to consider replacement before it fails.

Should I choose tank or tankless?

Tank water heaters cost less upfront and are ideal for standard household usage. Tankless systems provide endless hot water, higher efficiency, and a longer lifespan but require a larger initial investment. The best choice depends on your household size, water usage, and budget. We help homeowners in Southwestern Ontario determine the right fit during a consultation.

Is tankless worth it in Ontario?

In many cases, yes. Tankless systems are more energy efficient and eliminate the risk of running out of hot water. However, installation may require gas line upgrades or venting adjustments. For larger households or homes planning long-term ownership, tankless can offer strong long-term value.

Can you remove my rental water heater?

Yes. Many Ontario homeowners are locked into rental agreements. Platinum Air Care assists with removing rental tanks and transitioning to owned systems. We can help you understand your contract and guide you through ending your rental agreement. Our renting vs owning page shows what renting costs over time.

How long does water heater installation take?

Most standard tank replacements can be completed in 2 to 4 hours. Tankless installations may take longer depending on venting, gas supply, and electrical requirements. Our technicians ensure proper installation, testing, and code compliance before leaving your home.

What size water heater do I need?

Water heater sizing depends on the number of bathrooms, number of occupants, simultaneous hot water usage, and appliance demand. We evaluate your current setup and usage to recommend the correct tank size or tankless capacity.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater?

In many municipalities, permits and inspections are required for gas appliance replacement. Our team follows applicable code requirements and installation standards to ensure your system is installed safely and properly.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners. We aim to make upgrading your water heater affordable without long-term rental commitments.
