Our superior quality water heaters are made exclusively for HydroSolution right here in Quebec. In addition to being eco-efficient, they come with a 10-year warranty against leaks. They’re available in two sizes: the 40-gallon water heater is ideal for households that don’t have a high water usage (one to three people) or for smaller spaces. Our 60-gallon water heater is a good option for homes with 3 people or more or for people who frequently take baths and use their dishwasher or washing machine several times a day.

An electric water heater is easy to install and use. In fact, it’s the most popular type of water heater in Canada. It’s cost-effective and energy efficient, making it an excellent choice. Moreover, most of the electricity produced in Quebec comes from our immense water reserves, a renewable source of clean energy.

To install a 40-gallon water heater, you’ll need a vertical clearance of 60 inches (152 cm) and a horizontal clearance of 24 inches (61 cm). For a 60-gallon water heater, you’ll need a vertical clearance of 72 inches (183 cm) and a horizontal clearance of 25.5 inches (65 cm).
You also need to keep in mind that the water heater must get from your front door to the location where it will be installed. Make sure the path is unobstructed to avoid damaging your furniture. For more information, visit https://www.hydrosolution.com/en/installation/

Unlike a regular dual-element water heater, the ECOPEAK® model includes three elements, each with a different wattage. That means the water is heated inside the tank more slowly and consistently throughout the day, resulting in fewer energy peaks.

The quality of an ECOPEAK® water heater, its life expectancy, and its reliability are similar to standard 60-gallon water heaters available from HydroSolution.

HydroSolution water heaters come with a 10-year warranty against tank leaks, an 8-year warranty on parts, and a 1-year warranty on labour. If you rent your water heater, the parts and labour are included.

HydroSolution’s water heaters are designed with a cold water entry in the bottom of the tank. That means the cold water does not come into direct contact with the hot water on the top of the tank – resulting in less energy use. You’ll get 10% more hot water than with a standard model where the cold water enters from the top.

The decision to rent or purchase a water heater depends on your needs and your expectations. Renting comes with a turnkey service while purchasing can be a worthwhile investment. By choosing to rent, you’ll be able to benefit from a 24/7 repair service, 365 days a year (including bank holidays) at no extra cost. Moreover, we’ll replace your water heater for free at the end of its lifespan.

If you want to terminate your rental contract at any time, you can purchase the water heater at its residual value. You’ll simply need to send us a 30-day notice.

A rental contract is for a minimum of 12 months. Once the minimum contract period has ended, the rental agreement will automatically renew every month with the same terms and conditions, unless one of the parties terminates the contract as per the modalities outlined therein. If you benefit from a promotional rate, the minimum contract period may be longer. It depends on the promotion.

A HydroSolution water heater’s lifespan is about 15 years. When you rent your water heater, we will replace it at the end of its lifespan – between the 13th and 16th year. If your insurance company requires you to replace your water heater after 10 years, if you live in a condo, or if you want a preventive replacement after the 10th year, you will have to choose Rental Plus. HydroSolution water heaters are unique and built to last longer.

A rented water heater remains the property of HydroSolution. You must comply with the terms set forth in the contract. You cannot sell the rented water heater to a third party or even remove it without notifying us. You can however purchase it at its residual value, in accordance with the rules set by HydroSolution.

Please notify us as soon as possible of any change in ownership. If you are selling your property, you must list the rented water heater in the seller’s declaration and deed of sale and inform the new owner they must comply with the conditions of the rental contract. The contract will then be transferred to the new owner. In case of a dispute, the former owner remains liable for meeting their obligations.

The monthly amount due must be paid by the owner or a third party they’ve named (with HydroSolution’s consent). The tenant or third party must sign a form stating they are responsible for the payment.

HydroSolution covers 95% of Quebec. Our teams are constantly working to expand our coverage.

Only owners are authorized to sign a rental contract. Your landlord will be able to name you as the party responsible for paying the monthly amount due.

Our transactional site is currently only designed for new clients. We are working on expanding our online services.

A crawl space is located between the ground and a home’s floor. It provides a space to put utility cables and acts as a buffer between the house and damp earth. If your water heater is installed in a crawl space, we will be in contact with you for more information.

Your plumbing system must comply with Quebec’s Plumbing Code as well as your municipality’s regulations. Furthermore, your electrical panel must comply with Quebec’s Electrical Code.

Additional fees may be incurred (payable to installation technicians) for the following reasons:

• The water valve needs to be replaced or installed
• Raccordement du bac de rétention au drain de plancher
• The drain pan needs to be connected to the floor drain
• The electrical system needs to be updated
• The water heater platform needs to be raised to safely connect the valve to the wall drain
• Any change to the building’s plumbing system

The water heater must be installed in a location with sufficient space and near a wall or floor drain. The space must also be easily accessible for inspection, repairs, replacement, and removal. The space must not be in a condition that leads to accelerated aging or damage to the water heater’s components or tank. The room must also be heated.

You need to make sure the front of the water heater is unobstructed and the path between your entrance and water heater is clear. Make sure the electrical panel is easily accessible. Review your home’s regulations. Pets must be kept out of the way. Even though we love animals, some installation technicians may be uncomfortable around them. Furthermore, noise from the installation may distress your pet.

Here’s a tip to help you figure out how much space you’ll need: if you can roll an office chair from the truck to your water heater without any problems, the path is clear!
