Rates and fees
Rental water heater rates vary depending on the unit you choose.
Depending on the type of unit, additional costs may apply to comply with manufacturer’s specifications and applicable codes.
If you are looking to rent a tankless water heater, you must have a working and maintained salt water softener, and the registered owner must reside at the property.
If you have questions about our rates or how to choose a rental water heater, contact us by phone at 519-741-2626, or by email. We will send a qualified contractor to suggest the right unit and the necessary installation requirements for your home.

| Types of water heaters (legend) |
| R: Conventional
Used when there is an existing chimney and the heater can be vented to the outside through the chimney. FV: Flammable vapour tank ELEC: Electric tank Can be installed almost anywhere in your home and does not require venting compared to natural gas tanks. PV: Power-vented Vents to the outside through a wall in the home when there is no existing chimney. It can be located up to 50 equivalent feet from an outside wall. A blower motor is located on top of the water heater to vent products of combustion gases to the outside. This type of tank requires electricity to operate the blower motor. DV: Direct-vented If located within eight feet of an exterior wall, it can be vented horizontally through the outside wall. This unit does not require a blower motor and uses outside air for combustion. TANKLESS: Tankless/on demand water heater Small and space-saving, this unit heats water only when needed. It should be located close to an exterior wall and is directly vented through an outside wall of a home. TMV: Thermostatic Mixing Valve The Ontario Building Code states a temperature reducing device such as a thermostatic mixing valve is required to ensure hot water does not exceed 49 degrees Celsius in residential occupancies. A thermostatic mixing valve is attached to the water heater to reduce the risk of scalding from hot water. |
