Gas tanks typically last somewhere around a decade, sometimes more with good maintenance. When the tank itself leaks, replacement is the only answer.
Choosing the right unit
- We look at your household size, the existing venting and the space.
- A natural-draft heater uses the chimney or a B-vent; a power-vent unit can vent through the wall with plastic pipe.
- Changing type affects venting and electrical needs.
Clues it is this job
- Moisture weeping from the steel shell itself
- Rust in the hot water
- Tank over ten years old
- Not enough hot water for the household
Installation details
- The new tank gets new flexible water connectors, a properly sized relief valve discharge pipe ending near the floor, a sediment trap on the gas line and a check of the vent draft.
- Ontario rules put the gas connection in the hands of a licensed gas technician, and that is who makes it.
Rental or owned
- Lots of Toronto tanks are leased rather than owned.
- When yours is, ending the contract or replacing the tank involves the rental company.
- We explain what to ask them.
A drip pan under the tank with a drain is cheap insurance in a finished basement.
