Brampton Gas Water Heater Replacement

A gas-fired tank that weeps from the shell or runs cold halfway through a shower has reached the end; no part swap saves it. Choosing the right size and venting type matters more than the brand on the label.

Signs it is time for a new heater

  • Water leaking from the tank itself, not a fitting or valve
  • Rusty hot water from every tap
  • A heater well past its expected life with repeated repairs
  • A household that has grown and runs out of hot water daily

Choosing the replacement

Most Brampton detached homes use a 40 or 50 gallon gas tank. Atmospheric vent heaters share the chimney with the furnace; power vent units exhaust through the wall with a fan and plastic venting, which is common where a high-efficiency furnace no longer uses the chimney. We match the new unit to your venting, gas line size and the hot water you actually use.

  1. Measure the space, the gas supply and the existing venting.
  2. Drain and disconnect the old tank.
  3. Install the new heater, relief valve discharge pipe and any required expansion tank.
  4. Light it, check for gas leaks and test the draft or fan.

Codes and rules

Under TSSA rules, only a gas-certified technician may connect a gas appliance in this province. A permit may also be needed for plumbing changes. We take the old tank away for recycling. If your current heater is rented, the rental company will need to collect it and close the account, so call them before your install day.

A power vent heater needs an electrical outlet nearby. If there is none, adding one is part of the job and should be on the quote.

Questions we get

Should I switch to tankless instead?

Tankless saves space and gives endless hot water but costs more up front and may need a larger gas line. Our tank versus tankless paper walks through the trade-offs.
