Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement
Not sure if it’s time to replace your hot water heater? Here are some common signs that indicate your system may need replacing:
Inconsistent Water Temperature
Does your hot water fluctuate between scorching and lukewarm? This inconsistency could mean your hot water heater is failing to meet your household’s demands.
Frequent Repairs
If you’re constantly calling for hot water heater repairs, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a replacement.
Age of the Water Heater
Most hot water heaters last 8-12 years. If your unit is older, replacing it with a modern, energy-efficient model can save you money in the long run.
Discoloured or Rusty Water
Rusty water is often a sign of corrosion inside the tank, which can lead to leaks and reduced performance.
Leaking Tank
A leaking hot water heater tank is a clear indication that it’s time for a replacement.
High Energy Bills
Older hot water heaters are less energy-efficient, leading to increased utility bills. Upgrading to an energy-efficient model can lower your monthly costs.
Types of Water Heaters We Replace and Install
Tank Water Heaters
Traditional tank water heaters, also known as hot water tanks, are a popular choice for many Ottawa homeowners. These systems store a set amount of hot water and are available in various sizes to fit your household’s needs.
Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, provide hot water only when needed, offering significant energy savings. They’re compact, efficient, and perfect for modern homes.
Hybrid Water Heaters
Hybrid water heaters combine the benefits of tank and tankless systems, using heat pump technology to improve energy efficiency.
Gas and Electric Water Heaters
We offer both gas and electric water heaters, helping you choose the best option based on your energy preferences and availability.
Choosing the Right Water Heater
Factors to Consider
Selecting the right water heater is crucial for ensuring a consistent supply of hot water and optimizing energy efficiency. Here are some key factors to consider:
Fuel Type
Decide between natural gas, propane, or electricity. Each fuel type has its advantages. Natural gas water heaters are typically more energy-efficient and cost-effective, while electric water heaters are easier to install and maintain.
Water Capacity
Assess your household’s hot water needs. Larger families may require a bigger hot water tank or a tankless water heater system to ensure a steady supply of hot water.
Energy Efficiency
Look for energy-efficient water heaters with high Energy Star ratings. An energy-efficient water heater can help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your environmental impact.
Space Constraints
Consider the available space for installation. Tankless water heaters are compact and can be installed in smaller spaces, while traditional tank water heaters require more room.
Budget
Determine your budget for the water heater and installation costs. While tankless water heaters may have a higher upfront cost, they offer long-term savings on energy bills.
By considering these factors, you can choose a water heater that meets your needs and provides reliable hot water for years to come.

- Check the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve: Ensure it’s functioning properly to prevent overheating and pressure buildup, which can cause damage to the water heater.
- Inspect the Anode Rod: The anode rod helps prevent corrosion inside the tank. Replace it every 3-5 years to extend the lifespan of your water heater.
- Drain the Tank: Regularly drain the tank to remove sediment and debris that can accumulate over time and cause damage to the water heater.
- Check for Leaks: Inspect the water heater and pipes for signs of leaks or water damage. Addressing leaks promptly can prevent more significant issues down the line.

Mazen came to our place to address some leak issues we were having. He was personable, thorough and detailed oriented. He worked on the problem and patiently answered all... read more our questions and explained what the problem had been. He worked very effieciently and cleaned up everything after the job was done.

Many thanks to Lance for showing up early next-day to fix a busted basement sink drain pipe that caused a real mess late evening. Not the first time Lance has... read more been to the house to promptly address a "1970's-builder-construction-shenanigans" issue and I appreciate their help every time.

Lance is very professional and knowledgeable, I will absolutely be calling him again for any future plumbing needs!
Found out midmorning on a Friday that we had a blocked kitchen sink, so I contacted Environmental Plumbing, who were able to come by in the late afternoon. Miguel and... read more Greg from Environmental Plumbing were amazing. It turned out to be a very significant blockage which had built up over the past 27 years. They also found that the reason for it was poor construction of the original system - a section of the drain pipe had to be replaced in order to allow proper downhill drainage. I still cannot believe the amount of stuff that came out of there and how we were able to use the sink at all. And even though it was after 6:00 on a Friday evening before they left (and they still had two more jobs to do), they were not rushing to get out of the house. They worked incredibly hard to make sure the job was done right before they left. Miguel and Greg were knowledgeable, helpful and very pleasant to deal with. I certainly recommend Environmental Plumbing, and if you’re lucky enough to get Miguel and Greg, so much the better.

Lance showed up on time and did the job quickly and professionally. Great work!! I highly recommend Lance. Thanks.
Had a toilet replaced, as well as replacing the main stack in the basement which was very old, cracked and leaking. The pipes to the toilet, bathtub and sink... read more were poorly set up as well. Eric and Nick did all of this work efficiently and effectively. Both of these men were courteous, friendly and respectful. They did the work, removed all the old pipes and toilet, and cleaned up the area. I am very pleased and feel much more secure about the safety of the plumbing now. Good work, Eric and Nick!
