Frequently asked questions

What is the lifespan of a water heater?+

Electric water heaters last 10-15 years on average. Gas water heaters last 8-12 years. Past this age, replacement is recommended even if it still works, as efficiency drops and breakdown risk increases.

Electric or gas water heater — which to choose?+

Electric models are less expensive upfront and simpler to install. Natural gas is cheaper to operate if you already have a gas connection. Heat pump water heaters are most energy-efficient but cost more upfront.

Should I repair or replace my water heater?+

If your water heater is under 7 years old and the issue is an element or thermostat, repair is usually cost-effective. Beyond 10 years, or with corrosion, tank leaks, or persistent cold water, replacement is recommended.

Are there rebates for water heater replacement in Quebec?+

The Renoclimat program offers rebates for replacing inefficient equipment with high-efficiency models, including certain heat pump water heaters. Check energir.com for natural gas-specific programs.

How long does water heater installation take?+

Electric water heater installation typically takes 2-3 hours. Gas models may require 3-5 hours if gas line modifications are needed.

Is an inspection required after installation?+

In Quebec, gas water heater installation requires city inspection to confirm code compliance. For electric models, inspection is not always mandatory but is recommended to validate the work.
