Water Heater Installation
Tank and tankless water heaters installed by licensed plumbers. Old unit removal included. Free estimates.
If your water heater is leaking, making strange noises, or just can't keep up anymore, it's probably time for a replacement. Most tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years in Ontario — hard water and heavy use can shorten that. When yours is done, Relica Comforts gets you back to hot water fast with professional installation across the GTA to Barrie.
We install both tank and tankless water heaters, in gas and electric configurations. Tank heaters are the tried-and-true option — affordable, reliable, and available in sizes that fit any household. Tankless units cost more upfront but give you unlimited hot water on demand, take up a fraction of the space, and typically last 20 years or more.
Our licensed plumbers handle everything: disconnecting and removing your old unit, running any necessary gas or water line modifications, installing the new heater to Ontario building code, and testing it before we leave. We carry Bradford White, Rheem, A.O. Smith, Rinnai, and Navien — so whether you want a straightforward tank replacement or a full switch to tankless, we have options at every price point.
Not sure which type is right for your home? That's fine — most people aren't. We'll walk you through the pros and cons of each option based on your household size, hot water usage, and budget. No pressure, no upselling. Just honest advice from someone who installs these every day.
Water Heater Options & Services
Tank Water Heaters
Traditional storage tanks are reliable, affordable, and straightforward. Available in 40, 50, and 75 gallon sizes for every household size.
Tankless Water Heaters
On-demand hot water with no standby energy loss. Compact, wall-mounted, and they last 20+ years. Higher upfront cost but lower monthly bills.
Electric & Gas Options
We install both gas and electric water heaters. Gas units heat faster and cost less to operate. Electric units are simpler to install where gas isn't available.
Proper Sizing
A water heater that's too small leaves you cold. Too big and you're paying to heat water you don't use. We size it based on your household's actual usage.
Old Tank Removal
We disconnect, drain, and remove your old water heater as part of every installation. We handle the disposal so you don't have to worry about it.
Cost Transparency
Tank installations typically run $1,200 to $2,500. Tankless systems range from $3,000 to $5,000. We quote everything upfront — no surprises on install day.
Same-Day Available
Water heater died? We offer same-day and next-day installations for emergency situations so you're not stuck without hot water for long.
Code Compliant
Every installation meets Ontario building code requirements including proper venting, gas connections, expansion tanks, and T&P relief valve installation.
