FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater for my Kingston home?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you’re never limited by a storage tank. This means endless hot water, energy savings of 20–40 % compared with a conventional tank, a smaller footprint (they mount on a wall), and a life expectancy of 20+ years—about twice that of a tank. They’re also less prone to leaks because there’s no large reservoir of stored water.
How much does a professional tankless water heater installation by your master plumbers typically cost?
Installed pricing in Kingston generally runs between $3,500 and $5,500, depending on gas or electric model, capacity (GPM rating), venting requirements, and any upgrades to gas lines, electrical circuits, or vent penetrations. Our quotes are itemized and include the unit, labour, permits, venting materials, disposal of the old tank, and a one-year labour warranty.
How long does the installation process take from start to finish?
A straightforward replacement of a gas tank with a gas tankless usually takes one working day (6–8 hours). More complex jobs—such as relocating the unit, upsizing the gas line, or adding an electrical circuit for condensing models—can extend to a second day. We handle permit applications and inspections; those scheduling steps do not add to the on-site time.
What size (flow rate) tankless water heater do I need?
Sizing is based on simultaneous appliance use, not tank capacity. We calculate your peak flow demand by adding the gallons-per-minute (GPM) requirements of fixtures you might run at the same time (e.g., shower 2.5 GPM + washing machine 2.0 GPM = 4.5 GPM). In Kingston’s winter inlet temperature (~40 °F/4 °C), a 9–11 GPM gas unit or a 6–7 GPM electric unit usually suffices for a three-bath household. Our master plumbers perform a free on-site assessment to confirm.
What regular maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Even though scale doesn’t accumulate in a tank, the heat exchanger still needs annual flushing in our moderately hard Kingston water. We isolate the unit, circulate a white-vinegar or citric-acid solution for 30–45 minutes, clean the intake filter, and inspect venting, gas pressures, and condensate drain. Skipping maintenance can void the manufacturer warranty and cut efficiency.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Kingston for installing a tankless water heater?
Yes. Enbridge Gas typically offers $250–$400 when replacing an existing tank with an ENERGY STAR®-certified tankless. Federal Greener Homes Grants may add $1,000 when part of a broader retrofit project. Our office handles all paperwork, submits proof of installation, and deducts eligible rebates from your final invoice so you don’t wait for reimbursement.
