Burlington Water Heater Install FAQs
I want to stop renting my water heater. What does that involve?
Two separate things. The contract side is between you and the rental provider: you either buy out the unit or give notice and return it, and we are not part of that conversation. The physical side is ours: we install an owned unit, disconnect the rental one, and leave it ready for the provider to collect. Sort the contract first, because a return date that clashes with the install helps nobody.
Will I actually save money owning instead of renting?
Usually yes over a full tank life, but check the arithmetic rather than taking it on faith. Add up what the rental costs you annually, compare it against the installed cost of an owned unit divided across a realistic twelve to fifteen year life, and factor in that repairs become yours. For most Burlington households owning wins. For someone planning to move within a couple of years it often does not.
Do you take the old rental unit away?
No, and you should not let anyone do so. It belongs to the rental company and they arrange collection. We disconnect it and set it aside clear of the new installation so their pickup is straightforward. Disposing of equipment you do not own creates a problem for you, not for us.
Should I go tank or tankless when I switch to owning?
It depends on your hot water pattern and the venting available. A tankless unit costs more up front, lasts longer and never runs out. A tank is cheaper, simpler and fine for most households. In an older Aldershot or Roseland basement the deciding factor is often what venting route actually exists, which we check at the estimate.
How long does the changeover take?
Two to three hours for a tank, three to five for a tankless. We aim to leave you with hot water the same day.
