What is a tankless water heater?

A tankless water heater heats water on demand as it passes through a heat exchanger, so there is no storage tank and no standby heat loss. Sized correctly it delivers hot water for as long as gas and water are flowing. Hayes Plumbing sizes, installs and descales tankless units for homes across Oshawa and Durham Region, including the gas line, venting and condensate work that a conversion from a tank usually requires.

What this service includes

  • Tankless water heater sizing and installation
  • Tank-to-tankless conversions
  • Gas line upsizing and dedicated venting
  • Condensate drains and isolation valves
  • Annual descaling and service
  • Repair of existing tankless units
“We had a leak in our basement due to an old water tank. Hayes plumbing had a new tank installed perfectly within 6 hours of my orinal call. Their guys were professional, friendly and worked after hours to get us up and running. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone.”

Our tankless water heaters process

  1. Size for your home

    We calculate simultaneous demand and winter inlet temperature so the unit keeps up when two showers and the dishwasher run together.

  2. Check gas and venting

    Tankless units often need a larger gas line and dedicated venting. We confirm what your home needs and price it in writing.

  3. Install

    The unit, venting, condensate drain and isolation valves are installed to code.

  4. Maintain

    Annual descaling keeps the heat exchanger clear of Durham Region scale and protects the long service life.
