Rent or own?
Many Durham homes rent their water heater. Owning means no monthly fee once it is paid off. Check your rental agreement for the buyout amount before replacing it; see replacing rented equipment. Financing through Financeit is available, subject to approval.
What can add to the price.
Gas line
Tankless units often need a larger or dedicated gas line, quoted separately when needed.
Venting
Converting from chimney venting to PVC, or a chimney liner for an orphaned appliance.
Electrical
Hybrid heat pump water heaters need a dedicated electrical circuit (done by an electrician).
Recirculation
Built-in or retrofit recirculation for faster hot water at distant taps.

Navien tankless units carry a 10-year heat exchanger warranty and 5-year parts warranty, with 5-year labour when enrolled in our maintenance plan. Rheem hybrid tanks carry 12 years on tank and compressor. Read more about tankless and tank water heaters.
Common questions.
How much is a tankless water heater installed?
Our Navien tankless installations start at $4,000 before HST, and most homeowners pay between $5,000 and $6,000. A larger gas line or venting changes are quoted separately if needed.
Is tankless better than a tank?
Tankless provides continuous hot water and saves space, and usually lasts longer. A tank costs less upfront. Large households running several showers at once may need a larger tankless unit.
How much does a new hot water tank cost?
Our 50 to 60 gallon gas tank installations start under $3,500 before HST, and most homeowners pay between $3,250 and $4,000.
Do tankless water heaters need maintenance?
Yes. Annual descaling and cleaning protect the heat exchanger and keep the warranty in good standing.
