“MasterTech installed a 4T Hisense heat pump for us. Great communication throughout the process. I am quite picky but Usman answered all my questions to my satisfaction and helped choose the right brand and size. There were a couple of minor issues I pointed out after the installation which were promptly resolved. Above all, very reasonably priced!!”

Hot water tanks FAQs

Still unsure? Call 587-719-5115 and talk to a technician.

How long does a hot water tank last?

Most gas tanks last 10 to 12 years. Hard water and skipped flushing shorten that.

How long does a replacement take?

A straight swap usually takes a few hours, so you'll have hot water the same day.

My tank is leaking. What should I do?

Turn the gas valve on the tank to Off or Pilot, shut the cold water supply valve above the tank, and call us.
