No hot water, a leaking tank or a pilot light that won't stay lit? We provide water heater repair in Vaughan for tank and tankless units, plus same-day replacement when a repair no longer makes sense.
A leaking hot water tank can flood a basement fast. Take these steps while our technician is on the way.
Electric: switch off the breaker. Gas: turn the control knob to "Off" or "Pilot".
It's on the pipe at the top of the tank. This stops more water from filling it.

Most tank water heaters last around 10 years. Tankless units often last longer if they're descaled once a year. Signs it's time for a new one: rust on the tank, a leak from the tank itself, or repairs that keep adding up.
Leaks from a fitting, the T&P valve or the drain valve can often be repaired. If water is coming from the tank body itself, the inside has rusted through and the water heater needs to be replaced.
If the tank is under about 10 years old and a single part has failed, a repair usually makes sense. If the tank is leaking, rusted or older and needs frequent repairs, replacement is the better value. We'll quote both so you can decide.
Health Canada recommends setting your water heater to 60°C to prevent the growth of bacteria like Legionella, with a mixing valve so hot water reaches the tap at about 49°C to reduce the risk of scalds.
Many Vaughan homes rent their water heater. Repairs on a rented unit are the rental company's responsibility. If you'd like to switch to a tank you own, check the buyout terms in your contract first, then we can install a new unit for you.

Our hot water tank stopped heating on a Saturday morning. I thought we'd need a whole new unit, but the technician found a faulty heating element and replaced it. Hot water was back that afternoon. Really glad they checked before suggesting a replacement.

Had our old water heater replaced after it started leaking around the bottom. They helped us choose the right tank size, installed it neatly and took the old one away. No mess left behind in the basement.

We kept running out of hot water halfway through showers. The plumber checked the tank, explained what was happening and gave us a repair option along with the cost of replacing it. No pressure either way, which I appreciated.

Our tankless heater kept showing an error and shutting off. They cleaned the system, checked the sensors and got it running properly again. Haven't had the problem since.
