If you notice that your hot water isn\u2019t as warm as usual, has a yellowish tinge (indicating the presence of rust) or runs out quickly, these are signs that it\u2019s time to repair or replace your water heater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If you decide to replace your water heater, you have two options: leasing or purchasing<\/strong>. Each of these solutions presents certain advantages and disadvantages. To make an informed choice, there are various factors to take into consideration, depending on your particular situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Leasing a water heater<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A number of companies, including Gaz M\u00e9tro Plus, Norco and the most well-known one, HydroSolution, offer water heaters for lease.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The advantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cost per month ranges from $14 to $25. This includes installation, maintenance and repair work. In general, no deposit is required.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the event of a problem, you have access to free 24\/7 emergency repair services.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your water heater reaches the end of its lifecycle (a maximum of 15 years), a new one will be provided and installed at no extra charge. The companies will generally haul away your old water heater, as well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some lease agreements include an upgrade clause allowing you to change the size of your water heater.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The disadvantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The long-term costs are high. For example, if you lease a water heater at $14 per month for 10 years, you\u2019ll end up paying a total of $1,680.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a limited choice of models, so you need to make sure you verify the energy efficiency of the proposed equipment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most lease agreements stipulate that the leasing company will not be held liable for any damage stemming from problems with the water heater.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lease agreements contain numerous clauses related to maintenance frequency, repairs, emergency response times, etc., so you must pay careful attention to make sure you know what you\u2019re committing to.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Purchasing a water heater<\/h2>\n<h3>The advantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the most economical solution in the long run. The price of a standard water heater, including installation, ranges from $500 to $1,000.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a vast selection of models to choose from with various options in terms of capacity and energy efficiency.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have an ample choice of providers, from plumbers and major home improvement stores to specialized companies.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some providers offer financing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Financial aid is available when you exchange your natural gas or propane powered water heater for an energy-efficient model.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The disadvantages<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a fee for installation. Even if you install your water heater yourself, a <a href=\"\/\">certified plumber<\/a> has to come and verify the installation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are responsible for maintenance and repair costs. However, you should be aware that typical water heater repairs are fairly inexpensive ($35 on average).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The warranty on parts and installation is for a limited time only, usually between 6 and 12 months.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A number of insurance companies refuse to cover damage caused by water heaters more than 10 years old.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Final thoughts on leasing vs purchasing a water heater<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leasing a water heater could be an advantageous solution for rental property owners who aren\u2019t concerned with management and who will pass on the cost of the water heater lease to the tenant through the rent. Otherwise, purchasing a water heater will be your best option, as it\u2019s more economical and won\u2019t require you to enter into a contract with a service provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the purchase and installation of a water heater in the Montreal area, you can count on the team of experts at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plomberiechayer.com\/en\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plomberie Roger Chayer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are there advantages to leasing a water heater?
