Water-heater pricing

Water-heater prices
for early budgeting.

Starting prices for common atmospheric-vent and power-vent tank replacements, plus natural-gas tankless conversions. We confirm the right size, installation requirements and final price at your home.

All prices shown are plus HST.

Conventional tanks Tankless conversions

Natural-gas hot-water tanks

Conventional tanks,
replaced like for like.

Compare installed starting prices for common atmospheric-vent and power-vent replacements.

Like-for-like pricing

These prices assume the replacement tank uses the same venting type as the existing tank, with suitable venting and water, gas and—where required—electrical connections already available nearby.

All tank water-heater package prices are installed starting prices, plus HST.

Tank size Atmospheric vent Power vent
40gallon

Often a good fit for a smaller home, one bathroom and lower hot-water demand.

Starting from$2,299installed + HST6-year tank warranty
Starting from$2,899installed + HST6-year tank warranty
50gallon

A common choice for a moderately sized home or family with two to three bathrooms.

Starting from$2,569installed + HST6-year tank warranty
Starting from$2,999installed + HST6-year tank warranty
60gallon

More stored capacity for higher-demand homes, large shower heads or soaking tubs.

Starting from$2,999installed + HST6-year tank warranty
Starting from$3,549installed + HST6-year tank warranty

A useful starting point—not a sizing rule. The right tank also depends on how many fixtures run at once, bathing habits, recovery rate and the home’s existing services. We’ll confirm the appropriate size before installation.

Bradford White
or John Wood.

Our standard packages include high-end equipment from Bradford White or John Wood, backed by a six-year warranty and with service lives that routinely stretch beyond 10 years. We won’t sell you anything we wouldn’t trust in our own home.

Tank install assumptions

Additional venting, chimney, electrical, water or gas work, access requirements, permits and code upgrades may affect the final price. Warranty coverage is subject to the manufacturer’s terms and registration requirements. Equipment brand and availability vary. All prices are plus HST and are confirmed after an on-site assessment.

Considering tankless?

Or, consider a tankless conversion

Hot water that fits
the renovation.

Tankless systems are not the default choice for every home, but they can make sense when you’re renovating, adding a soaking tub or trying to reclaim the space occupied by a storage tank.

Rinnai SENSEI RX equipment

High-efficiency equipment
in both packages.

Both conversion packages use Rinnai SENSEI RX condensing equipment—the RX160iN or RX199iN—selected around the home’s actual simultaneous hot-water demand. It is a premium platform we trust for its efficiency, recirculation options and strong residential warranty.

  • 0.97 UEF and ENERGY STAR certified
  • Natural gas or propane without a conversion kit
  • Compatible with recirculation pumps; Smart-Circ can learn household usage patterns and reduce the wait for hot water at fixtures

Tank-to-tankless conversion prices are installed starting prices, plus HST.

Rinnai SENSEI RX160iN

160,000 BTU

For more modest simultaneous demand—often a good starting point for a one-bathroom home, subject to proper sizing.

Starting from$4,999installed + HST

Rinnai SENSEI RX199iN

199,000 BTU

For greater simultaneous demand, including many homes with two or more bathrooms or large hot-water fixtures.

Starting from$5,499installed + HST

Flow matters more than bathroom count.

Household size, fixture flow rates, incoming water temperature and the number of fixtures used at once determine the appropriate tankless capacity. A large soaking tub may also change the recommendation.

What the tankless conversion includes

Starting prices include a reasonable standard labour allowance, a condensate pump and condensate piping, typical vent modifications, upgraded shutoff valves and the normal fittings required for a straightforward natural-gas tank-to-tankless conversion.

Unusually long vent runs—such as approximately 25 ft.—or relocating the tankless unit well away from the existing tank and utility connections may increase the price. Extensive gas, water or electrical rerouting, unusual access, water treatment, recirculation, permits and code upgrades may also be additional. All prices are plus HST and are confirmed after an on-site assessment.
