Toronto's Water Heater Installation Specialists
Hot water is one of those things you don't think about — until you don't have it. Whether your current water heater has failed unexpectedly, is reaching the end of its lifespan, or you're upgrading to a more efficient system, Phoenix 24/7 Plumbing delivers expert water heater installation across Toronto and the GTA. Choosing the right water heater for your home is more complex than most homeowners realize. The correct unit depends on your household size, daily hot water consumption, available energy sources (natural gas, electric, or propane), your home's existing infrastructure, and your long-term efficiency goals. Our licensed plumbers take the time to assess all of these factors and recommend the best solution — not the most expensive one. We install all major types of water heaters, including traditional tank-style units in various capacities (40, 50, and 75-gallon), high-efficiency condensing gas water heaters, tankless on-demand water heaters (both gas and electric), heat pump water heaters, and power-vent and direct-vent configurations. We work with all leading brands including Rheem, Bradford White, A.O. Smith, Navien, Rinnai, and Noritz. Every installation by Phoenix 24/7 Plumbing is performed in full compliance with Ontario Building Code requirements and local Toronto permit regulations. We pull all necessary permits on your behalf and schedule required inspections, so you never have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself. This matters especially for insurance purposes — unpermitted water heater work can void your home insurance coverage. Our technicians also handle the complete removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old unit, make all necessary connections to gas, water, and electrical systems, and test the new unit thoroughly before leaving your home. We also walk you through the operation, maintenance tips, and warranty registration process so you get the most from your new water heater for years to come.

Full Code Compliance
We handle all permits and inspections required by the City of Toronto, ensuring your installation is fully legal and insurance-compliant.
Extended Lifespan
A properly installed water heater lasts significantly longer. Tankless units typically last 20+ years versus 8–12 years for conventional tank heaters.
Space Savings
Tankless and compact units free up valuable utility room space. We help you choose the right footprint for your home's layout.
Manufacturer & Labour Warranty
All installations include full manufacturer warranty registration plus our own labour warranty, giving you layered protection on your investment.
Toronto Homeowners Love Their New Water Heaters
“Phoenix 24/7 installed a Navien tankless water heater in our Scarborough home last spring. The team was incredibly knowledgeable about the different models, handled all the permits, and completed the job in a single day. Our gas bills have dropped noticeably and we've never run out of hot water since. Worth every penny.”
Water Heater Installation FAQs
Most traditional tank water heaters have a lifespan of 8–12 years. Signs it's time to replace include rusty or discoloured hot water, rumbling or banging noises during heating cycles, water pooling around the base of the unit, consistently lukewarm water, or a unit that's more than 10 years old. If you're experiencing frequent repairs, replacement is almost always more cost-effective.
For most Toronto households, the answer is yes over the long term. Tankless water heaters are 24–34% more energy efficient for homes that use less than 41 gallons daily, and up to 14% more efficient for higher-usage homes. They also last 20+ years versus 8–12 for tank units. The energy savings typically offset the higher initial cost within 5–8 years, and Toronto's natural gas rates make this payback period very reasonable.
In most cases, yes — particularly for new installations, fuel-type changes, or tankless system installations. Phoenix 24/7 Plumbing handles the permit application and required municipal inspections on your behalf. Installing without a permit can void your home insurance and create complications when selling your property, so we always follow proper procedure.
A straightforward like-for-like tank replacement typically takes 2–4 hours. A tankless water heater installation, which may require new venting, gas line work, or electrical upgrades, can take 4–8 hours. We'll give you a realistic time estimate during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Yes! We offer same-day emergency water heater installation for failed units. For planned upgrades, we typically schedule within 1–3 business days. We maintain strong relationships with local plumbing suppliers across the GTA to source units quickly when needed.
