FAQs
How do I know if a tankless water heater is the right choice for my Elora home?
A tankless unit is ideal if you want endless hot water, lower energy bills, and need to save space. Homes in Elora with 200 A electrical service (for electric models) or a natural gas line (for gas models) can usually accommodate a tankless system. We conduct a free on-site assessment to verify your incoming water temperature, peak hot-water demand, and venting options before recommending a properly sized unit.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on the total flow rate (litres per minute, LPM) and temperature rise required. For example, running two showers and a dishwasher simultaneously may require 18–20 LPM at a 55 °C temperature rise during Elora’s winter groundwater temperatures (around 6–8 °C). We calculate your peak demand and select a model—often 199,000 BTU for gas or 18–27 kW for electric—that can maintain consistent hot water without dropping pressure or temperature.
How long does a professional tankless installation take, and will I be without hot water?
Most retrofits are completed in one day. We remove the old tank, modify gas or electrical connections, install new venting, hang the tankless unit, flush the lines, and commission the system. You’re typically without hot water for only 2–4 hours. Complex jobs that require panel upgrades or long vent runs can take up to two days, but we always notify you in advance and schedule work to minimize disruption.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a tankless water heater in Elora?
Yes. Enbridge Gas often offers $250–$400 for ENERGY STAR® certified gas tankless units when combined with a home energy audit. The Canada Greener Homes Grant may contribute up to $1,000 toward high-efficiency water heating upgrades. We handle all paperwork, provide the necessary documentation, and guide you through the audit process so you receive every dollar available.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Annual maintenance is recommended. This includes descaling the heat exchanger with a food-grade vinegar solution to remove mineral buildup common in Centre Wellington’s moderately hard water, cleaning the inlet filter, checking gas pressure, and verifying combustion efficiency. Regular service extends the unit’s life (20+ years) and maintains the manufacturer warranty. We offer affordable maintenance plans and automated reminders.
Will a tankless unit save me money compared to my current storage tank?
Typically, yes. Tankless systems heat water on demand, eliminating standby losses. Gas models are up to 98 % efficient and can cut water-heating costs by 30–40 %. Electric tankless units avoid cycling losses and lower hydro bills when paired with time-of-use rates. Savings vary with usage patterns, fuel costs, and the efficiency of your old tank, but most Elora homeowners see payback within 5–7 years while enjoying uninterrupted hot water and extra storage space.
