Professional Tankless Water Heaters from licensed plumbers. Upfront pricing. Workmanship guaranteed. Serving the Golden Horseshoe since 1922.
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand rather than maintaining a stored tank of hot water, eliminating standby heat loss and delivering significantly lower energy consumption for most households. A correctly sized tankless unit provides continuous hot water at a consistent temperature regardless of simultaneous demand. Professional installation includes correct venting, gas or electrical supply sizing, and isolation valves for maintenance access.
A clear, professional process every visit, every customer.
We calculate your peak hot water demand based on fixture count, household size, and usage patterns to confirm the correct unit flow rate and BTU rating.
We recommend a unit based on your fuel type, flow rate requirement, and installation location, with clear explanation of operating cost vs. upfront cost trade-offs.
Gas line sizing, venting configuration, and condensate drain routing are assessed and any required modifications are completed before the unit arrives.
The unit is mounted, gas or electrical connections completed, venting installed, and isolation valves fitted for future maintenance access.
Flow rate, temperature, and simultaneous demand are tested before sign-off. We walk you through the unit controls and maintenance schedule.
A correctly sized tankless unit delivers continuous hot water at a consistent temperature regardless of how many fixtures are running simultaneously.
Eliminating standby heat loss reduces water heating energy consumption by 20 to 40 percent for most households, producing real savings on every utility bill.
An undersized tankless unit cannot meet peak demand. We calculate your actual peak flow rate before recommending a model, so it performs as expected every time.
Tankless units mount on the wall and take a fraction of the floor space of a traditional tank, freeing up mechanical room space for other uses.
Tankless water heaters have a design life of 20 or more years when properly maintained, significantly longer than conventional tank units.
Where the existing gas line or venting is not sized for the new unit, we complete all required modifications as part of the installation scope.
All tankless water heater installations are covered by our full workmanship guarantee on labour and installation.
Birnie has been installing water heating systems across the Golden Horseshoe since 1922. Our advice on tankless is based on experience, not a sales script.
Existing tank water heater is due for replacement
Household regularly runs out of hot water during peak demand
High gas or electricity bills attributable to water heating costs
Endless hot water is required for a large household or multiple simultaneous users
Space constraints in the mechanical room would benefit from a wall-mounted unit
Existing unit is in a garage or unheated space where freeze protection is a concern
Hot water delivery to remote fixtures takes too long with the existing tank location
A renovation is planned that would require relocating or resizing the water heating system
Interest in reducing long-term operating costs through on-demand heating technology
