Professional Water Heater Installation Services for Your Home
Traditional Tank Water Heater Installation
Storage tank water heaters are a reliable and familiar option for most homes. At Anchor Home Comfort, we install standard tank-style units of all sizes and fuel types. Our licensed installers manage everything—from gas hookups to temperature-pressure valves—ensuring your system is safe, leak-free, and ready for daily use. We also test your home’s water pressure and adjust settings to ensure optimal performance.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Interested in endless hot water and greater energy efficiency? A tankless hot water heater installation may be the perfect solution. These compact, wall-mounted systems heat water on demand and reduce energy waste. Our technicians are experienced with tankless water heater installations, including all plumbing, gas, and venting requirements. We’ll help you determine the proper flow rate and placement for your household’s usage.
Electric, Gas, and Propane Models
We work with electric, gas, and propane-fueled water heaters and will ensure the new unit is correctly sized and safely connected to your home’s utility infrastructure. If your setup needs upgrades—like circuit capacity increases for electric models or pipe resizing for propane—we’ll handle that too. You’ll have a system that’s not only efficient but installed to last.
Comprehensive System Upgrades
When necessary, Anchor Home Comfort can perform complete upgrades to your home’s water, gas, or electrical systems to support your new water heater. These upgrades might include replacing outdated water lines, installing larger diameter gas pipes to meet increased BTU requirements, or upgrading electrical panels to handle higher-powered units. Our licensed professionals handle all aspects of these upgrades, ensuring everything meets current building codes while providing the infrastructure your new water heater needs.
Water Heater Replacement
We’ll remove and dispose of your old water heater in accordance with local Ottawa guidelines. If the new unit requires additional space or changes to ventilation, electrical, or gas connections, our technicians will prepare your system accordingly. You get a worry-free experience and a fully functioning new heater from day one.
