Tankless Water Heaters

Rebates and Credits

If you are considering switching from a standard hot water tank to a high efficience tankless water heater, there is no better time than now.

Updated August 2011:

The Federal government has reactivated the eco energy audit rebate program to homeowners. There is a rumor going around that the Province may also reactivate this energy conservation incentive program as well but at this time only the Federal government grant is available.

Even with the reduced energy audit rebates there is still money to be saved in going tankless.

The cost of water, gas, & electricity is going up drastically over the next year. So you can expect to see much higher bills when it comes to heating your water in the very near future.

With such enormous costs increase on the horizon, it pays to prepare today.  Going tankless is just one way you can lower costs so that those future increases don't destroy your financial well being.

It doesn't make sense to buy a gas hot water tank when their effiencies are so poor (most are rated 55 to 59% efficient and they loose efficiency each year they are in use).  Even the energy star hot water tank is only 62% efficient when new, which still means wasting fuel, wasting money.

Here is a list of the current refunds and credits that are currently available to you just for going tankless:

$315.00 Energy rebates from the Federal Government for switching to a high efficiency tankless (82% efficiency or better).

$375.00 Energy rebates from the Federal Government for switching to a condensing tankless (94% efficiency or better). *some conditions apply for the Government energy rebate

8% Tax increase effective last year have had ramifications that are effect even more than just the cost of a tankless unit

8% increase on all utilities & services (water, gas, internet, phones, cable TV, cell phones, etc...)

Ontario Hydro just got approved to increase its rates by 12% on top of the 8% increase which means hydro is going to go up 20% in the next 12 months!

Currently the average home owner in Ontario saves approximately $200 per year or more on gas use for switching to tankless (this savings will matter even more with higher gas prices)

Plus if you are currently renting your gas hot water tank you will save all those ongoing rental fees (currently adds up to $300 to $380 per year but with the new tax increase could be as high as $400 per year in a very short amount of time).

Keep in mind if you are considering going tankless it will pay for itself in just a couple of years even with all the cost of living increases.

With all the benefits and cost savings it doesn't make sense to not go tankless especially NOW!

In addition we believe so strongly in being energy efficient and environmentally friendly that we are offering an installment payment plan at no interest to help our city reduce polution.

New in September 2011 - Rental options that cost less than what you are currently paying for a rental gas hot water tank.
