Many North York homes still pay a monthly fee for a rented water heater. Switching to one you own is common, but check these points first:
Look for buyout terms, removal fees and how much notice the rental company needs.
While the unit is still rented, repairs are usually the rental company's job. Call them first.
We install your new tank or tankless unit, and you arrange the return of the rental tank under your agreement.
Toronto's hard water leaves sediment in tanks and scale in tankless units. A yearly visit keeps hot water steady and helps your heater reach the end of its expected life.

Willowdale"Woke up to no hot water and thought the whole tank had died. Called SolidPlumb for gas water heater repair in North York. The technician found a problem with the gas control valve and got it sorted without replacing the tank. He tested the hot water before leaving and explained what had failed. Really decent service."

2026-01-28"Our old hot water tank started leaking from the bottom and there was a puddle spreading across the basement floor. SolidPlumb arranged hot water tank replacement in North York and removed the rusted unit. The new tank was installed and tested the same day. No mess left behind, and the price matched what we'd been quoted."

2026-03-13"We finally switched from our rented tank to a tankless system. SolidPlumb handled the tankless water heater installation at our York Mills house, including the new venting and gas connections. The plumber walked us through the controls and maintenance. Hot water keeps up with the family now, and we got some basement space back too."

2026-04-22On a gas water heater, the usual causes are a pilot light that's gone out, a failed thermocouple or a faulty gas valve. On an electric unit, it's usually a tripped breaker, a burnt-out element or a bad thermostat. Tankless units normally show an error code. If the basics check out, call a technician.
It depends where the water comes from. Leaks from the T&P valve, drain valve or a fitting can usually be repaired. If the tank itself is leaking, usually at the bottom, it has rusted through and needs replacing. Shut off the cold water and the heat source, then call us.
It depends on the type and size of the water heater, the part that failed and, for a replacement, any venting, gas line or electrical changes. We diagnose first and give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
A tank water heater typically lasts 8 to 12 years. A tankless water heater can last up to 20 years with regular descaling. Hard water and skipped maintenance shorten both.
Tankless units give endless hot water, take up much less space and last longer than tanks. Installation is more involved, especially if the gas line or venting needs upgrading. They're a strong choice for larger households or anyone tired of running out of hot water.
Yes. Check your rental agreement for buyout and removal terms first. While the unit is still rented, repairs are usually the rental company's responsibility. We can install your new owned tank or tankless unit.

Once a year. For a tank, that means draining sediment, checking the anode rod and testing the T&P valve. Tankless water heaters need descaling and inlet filter cleaning, more often in hard-water areas.
In many cases, yes, especially for a like-for-like tank replacement. Tankless conversions or units that need new venting or a gas line upgrade may take longer, and we'll give you a timeline with your quote.
