Renting a Tankless Water Heater

Renting a Tankless Water Heater
|
For a lot of people in Ontario renting your water heater is something you have always done, the charge is roughly between 10$ and 20$ a month. Companies that provide this service (for the most part) 
put in low end tanks so that their return on investment is only a few years. The problem is that low end tanks are energy hogs and consume copious amount of power. The company you rent it off of doesn’t care about efficiency as they are not paying the bills, thus the problem.
Renting a Tankless Water heater is going to be more expensive on a monthly basis but the savings it 
produces more than outweigh the additional cost. Remember a Tankless water heater is the top of the line water heating system, if it’s a Navien (or Navian which is often spelled incorrectly) you will be getting 98% efficiency. A Rinnai will produce great savings with lots of hot water and very reliable service. These units are the best there is for residential hot water demands.
The rental fees are almost identical from all companies that are offering rental tankless systems in Ontario and the greater Toronto area. On average you will be looking at between 32$ and 40$ per month for the rental water heater. You will also be getting the peace of mind that if anything goes wrong the unit will be replace or fixed.

Tankless Installation Time
Dec 14th
How Long Will A Tankless Take to Install?
This can be a difficult question to answer as there are a number of factors that need to be taken into account. They range from
- Relocation – Does it make sense to move the tankless closer to hot water demands? does this involve moving the gas lines? Is there a venting issue that requires it moved?
- Size / Mounting - The Tankless is significant smaller then a full sized convential tank, this allows it to be mounted numerous locations.
- Venting – All tankless systems have unique venting requirements this may play a factor in its positioning, get a free evaluation here.
- Type – Do you want a propane, natural gas or electric tankless system? These factors can all play a part in tankless installation times.
The installation crews are scheduled to do 2 tankless installs per day, so most installs rarely go past 4 hours (quite a few have been installed in less than an hour). If you decide to go ahead with the tankless system, be that rental or purchase its a safe bet to allocate 4 hours for the install.
