Proven Longevity
“If you’re in need of heating, cooling, or anything related to home comfort, my husband and I would highly recommend the Handy Bros.
The day after getting an estimate, 3 of their installers, George, Conner, and Ernesto, arrived early the next morning and completed all the required work in one day! We were very impressed with their skills, knowledge and efficiency. Don’t hesitate to deal with this great company! And… in case you’re wondering, we are not related to this company or any of their staff. They’re just deserving of great reviews!!”
What we did: Three-tech team. Full installation completed in a single day.

A lot goes into HVAC pricing, but water heaters are easier to price reliably sight unseen, however you should always first get a free in-home quote before paying & installing a water heater as your basement size/venting/breaker/gas line will directly impact which water heater type fits. But, if you are looking for a rough estimate, here is a common price range in Ontario:
| Water Heater Type | Unit & Installation Cost | Key Considerations |
| Electric Tank | $1,600 – $2,400+ | Cheapest upfront; no venting needed; higher monthly hydro costs. |
| Standard Gas Tank | $1,800 – $3,200+ | Uses atmospheric venting (chimney); common in older homes. |
| Power Vent Gas Tank | $2,400 – $4,200+ | Required if you don’t have a chimney; vents through a side wall. |
| Tankless (Gas) | $3,800 – $6,500+ | Endless hot water; requires gas line or venting upgrades. |
| Heat Pump (Hybrid) | $5,000 – $7,800+ | Extremely efficient; higher initial cost often offset by rebates. |
What water heater is right for you: How many people in the home? How much is the gas vs hydro bill? Are there any space constraints in your basement?
Be very careful signing a rental water heater contract, the daily or monthly cost may seem very low, but often it is priced over a very long period making its true price 3x more expensive than buying one in full. It would be literally cheaper in the long run to use your personal credit card or line of credit to buy it in full rather than renting it forever.
Tankless water heaters provide a modern, energy-efficient solution for your home’s hot water needs. Unlike traditional systems that store and continuously heat water in a tank, tankless water heaters heat water on-demand, providing an endless supply of hot water while reducing energy waste. This means you’ll never run out of hot water, even during high-demand periods. These space-saving units are compact and can be mounted on walls, freeing up valuable storage space in your home. With longer lifespans compared to traditional water heaters and lower energy bills thanks to their efficient operation, tankless systems offer reliability, convenience, and cost savings. Perfect for eco-conscious homeowners, tankless water heaters also help reduce your carbon footprint by using less energy.
Hybrid heat pump water heaters combine advanced heat pump technology with traditional electric heating elements to provide an ultra-efficient hot water solution. These systems work by extracting heat from the surrounding air to warm the water, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to standard electric water heaters. This results in lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint, making them an eco-friendly choice for homeowners. Hybrid heat pump water heaters can deliver reliable hot water while using up to 70% less energy. They offer versatile operating modes, such as energy-saving and high-demand settings, to suit your household’s needs. With their long lifespan, quiet operation, and lower operating costs, hybrid heat pump water heaters provide a sustainable, cost-effective way to enjoy consistent hot water.
Power vent water heaters offer an efficient and flexible solution for providing reliable hot water in your home. Unlike standard vent models, power vent water heaters use a motorized fan to expel exhaust gases through horizontal or vertical venting, making them ideal for homes without a traditional chimney or where venting through sidewalls is required. This design allows for versatile installation options and improved energy efficiency by optimizing combustion. Power vent water heaters also enhance safety by reducing the risk of back-drafting and carbon monoxide buildup. With faster hot water recovery rates, quieter operation, and reduced condensation issues, power vent models provide consistent hot water and peace of mind for modern households.
Standard vent, or atmospheric, water heaters are a reliable and cost-effective solution for providing hot water in your home. These traditional systems vent combustion gases naturally through a vertical chimney or vent pipe, making them an excellent option for homes with existing venting infrastructure. Known for their simplicity and affordability, atmospheric water heaters are easy to install and maintain. They deliver consistent hot water while offering durable performance and a proven track record of reliability. Ideal for homeowners looking for a straightforward, budget-friendly option, standard-vent water heaters provide dependable comfort and efficiency for everyday hot water needs.
Electric water heaters provide a reliable solution for delivering hot water to your home. These systems use electric heating elements to heat water stored in a tank, making them an ideal choice for homes without access to natural gas. Known for their simple installation, low maintenance, and affordable upfront costs, electric water heaters are a versatile option for a wide range of households. They operate quietly, produce zero emissions, and can be installed in various locations, including tight or enclosed spaces. With advancements in energy efficiency and smart controls, electric water heaters offer consistent performance and can help reduce your energy bills. Perfect for homeowners looking for a dependable and eco-friendly hot water solution, electric water heaters ensure your home stays comfortable and functional year-round.
