Water Heaters in Ontario

In homes across Ontario, hot water is essential for daily tasks such as taking showers, doing the dishes, or doing laundry. During colder months, when incoming water temperatures drop, a reliable hot water supply becomes even more important for comfort and hygiene. Most households rely on hot water several times a day, often without noticing the system behind it until performance issues appear.

A water heater is the home system that heats and supplies hot water for daily use. It provides consistent hot water to taps, showers, and other household fixtures throughout the home. Homeowners often choose to buy a new water heater when an older unit leaks, hot water runs out quickly, energy bills rise, or performance becomes unreliable. Homeowners can choose between storage tanks and tankless water heaters based on space, usage, and efficiency needs. LG Home Comfort offers both options with professional installation and clear pricing.

FAQs

How Do I Know What Size Water Heater I Need for My Home?

The right water heater size depends on household size, number of bathrooms, and daily hot water usage. Condos and smaller households typically require smaller tanks, while detached homes with multiple occupants may need larger capacities. Usage habits such as back-to-back showers or frequent laundry also affect sizing. A professional assessment helps ensure the water heater meets daily demand without unnecessary energy use.

Yes, most water heaters include manufacturer warranties. Storage tank water heaters typically come with warranties ranging from 6 to 12 years, depending on the model and brand. Tankless water heaters often have different warranty coverage, with longer protection on certain components. Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and installation type, so reviewing coverage during consultation is recommended.

On average, water heaters last between 8 and 15 years, depending on usage, water quality, and maintenance. Homes in areas such as Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and Ottawa may experience different lifespans due to water conditions and usage patterns. Regular maintenance and proper sizing can help extend system life.
Yes, hard water can affect a water heater’s lifespan over time. Minerals in hard water can build up inside the tank, reducing heating efficiency and placing extra strain on the system. In many parts of Ontario, hard water is common, which makes regular maintenance important for long-term performance. Using a water softener can help reduce mineral buildup by treating hard water before it enters the water heater. This helps protect the system, maintain efficiency, and support a longer operating life.

Cancelling a rental agreement usually involves a buyout or contract termination. Many homeowners choose to replace the rented unit with an owned system to eliminate monthly fees. LG Home Comfort can guide homeowners through this process.

Water heater prices vary based on type, fuel source, capacity, and efficiency. Storage tanks and tankless water heaters have different cost ranges. Instead of fixed pricing, LG Home Comfort recommends a consultation to confirm the right system. Flexible monthly payment options are available and are often more predictable than renting.

A water heater warms cold incoming water and stores or delivers it to taps when needed. When hot water is used, new water enters the system and is heated again. This simple process ensures that hot water is available for daily household activities without interruption.

Water heaters in Ontario are commonly available in electric, natural gas, and propane options. The right fuel type depends on what utilities are available in your home, operating costs, and hot water usage needs. 

Common water heater fuel types include: 

  • Electric Water Heaters – These systems use electricity to heat water and are widely used in condos and homes without gas access. They are straightforward to install and work well for smaller households with moderate hot water demand. 
  • Natural Gas Water Heaters – Models are popular in many Ontario homes due to faster heating and lower operating costs compared to electric systems. They are commonly used with storage tank water heaters and require proper venting. 
  • Propane Water Heaters – Typically used in areas without natural gas service. They provide strong heating performance and are suitable for both tank and tankless systems.
