The Importance of a Reliable Water Heater in Quebec

Hot water represents 15-25% of a home's energy consumption. An inefficient or defective water heater is costly and can cause significant water damage.

Dangers of an Aging Water Heater

A water heater can suddenly leak, spilling 40-60 gallons of water. We have seen flooded basements, structural damage, and mold due to failing water heaters. The safety valve can also malfunction, creating a risk of explosion (rare but possible).

Insurance and Rebate Considerations

A water heater installed by a licensed professional is often required by insurers. Energy-efficient models may be eligible for rebates (Rénoclimat, etc.) which we help you identify.

A Customer's Story: The Breakdown Avoided Just in Time

« Our 12-year-old water heater was still working, but Gobeil recommended a preventive replacement. We waited... until a small leak appeared. They came the same day, installed a new high-efficiency model. Our electricity bill dropped by 15%! »
