Tankless Water Heaters and Hot Water Tanks
Tired of your morning shower turning ice-cold just as you’re waking up?
For many homeowners in Toronto and the GTA, running out of hot water is more than an inconvenience; it’s a daily frustration. Traditional hot water tanks constantly heat a large reservoir of water, wasting energy and eventually running dry when your family uses more hot water than usual.
Tankless water heaters, often called “on-demand” systems, solve this by heating water only when you need hot water at your taps. Using high-powered heat exchangers, these compact units provide a continuous flow of hot water, ensuring you never have to wait for a tank to refill again.
At Husky, we specialize in helping Toronto residents transition to this efficient, space-saving technology.

Water Heater Maintenance
Toronto’s water is “moderately hard,” leading to calcium and magnesium scale buildup in the heat exchanger.
We provide professional flushing and descaling services to prevent “Scale Bridge” errors and ensure your unit maintains its high-efficiency rating for years to come.

Choosing the right brand is critical for performance in Ontario’s climate, where incoming city water can be near freezing in January. We recommend two industry leaders:
Navien Tankless Water Heaters
Navien is a pioneer in condensing technology. Their units are specifically designed for cold-climate performance, utilizing a secondary heat exchanger to capture extra heat that would otherwise be lost.
With high-efficiency ratings (AFUE) and stainless steel heat exchangers, Navien water heaters are a top choice for Toronto homeowners seeking durability and maximum energy rebates.
Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters
Rinnai is known for reliability and precision engineering. Thanks to their long lifespans and consistent temperature control, Rinnai units are a staple in GTA homes.
Rinnai water heaters offer a wide range of models that balance high-efficiency performance with a smaller footprint, making them ideal for urban Toronto homes where basement space is at a premium.
How Much Can You Save? (Energy Savings Calculator)
Switching from a traditional storage tank to a tankless system can significantly reduce your monthly gas bill.
While a traditional tank must cycle on and off repeatedly to keep water hot, a tankless unit only consumes fuel when you are actively using hot water.
- Traditional Tank Efficiency: Typically 60-70%.
- Tankless Unit Efficiency: Up to 97% for condensing models.
- Estimated Monthly Savings: Many Toronto families see a 20%-40% reduction in the water-heating portion of their utility bill.
How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Tankless models work by sending cold water through heat exchangers inside a small suitcase-sized unit that hangs on your wall. The preheated water then travels to the water fixture (like a faucet, washing machine, dishwasher or shower). The tankless system continues to heat water while in use, and when you no longer need it, the water stops flowing, and the heating element is extinguished.
As you can see, a tankless water heater doesn’t require a large storage tank because it heats water only when you need it. As a result, your new tankless water heater provides you and your family with an endless supply of hot water.
Pros & Cons Of Installing Tankless Water Heaters
The pros of a tankless water heater definitely outweigh the cons. Here are some of the fantastic advantages:
- You’ll never run out of hot water again!
- The compact size saves valuable space in your home
- Tankless units last longer than traditional hot water tanks
- Far less energy consumption results in lower utility bills
- and more!
But, even the best tankless water heater has some disadvantages, for example:
- A higher initial expense (Don’t forget the long-term energy savings, though!)
- Periodic maintenance is required (Something we also recommend for all HVAC systems.)
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Depending on the model and any necessary gas line or venting upgrades, a professional installation in the GTA typically ranges from $3,500$ to $6,000.
Q: Do tankless water heaters actually work well in cold Canadian winters?
A: Yes. Modern units, such as those from Navien, feature high BTU output and internal freeze protection. Even when the incoming water temperature drops in February, these units can maintain a high temperature rise to keep your showers hot.
Q: What size tankless water heater do I need for a 4-bedroom house?
A: For a standard 4-bedroom home with 2–3 bathrooms, you typically need a unit capable of at least 199,000 BTUs or a flow rate of 9-11 GPM (Gallons Per Minute) to ensure multiple fixtures can run simultaneously.
Q: Navien vs. Rinnai: Which tankless water heater brand is better?
A: Navien generally leads in condensing efficiency and high-tech features, while technicians praise Rinnai for its reliability and ease of service. We recommend Navien for the best energy savings and Rinnai for long-term simplicity.
Q: How often does a tankless water heater need to be flushed?
A: In the Toronto area, we recommend a professional flush and descale once every 12 to 18 months to prevent mineral buildup from damaging the heat exchanger.
