Tankless Hot Water Heaters
Also called instantaneous, continuous flow, inline, flash, on-demand, or instant-on water heaters.
LET’S TALK
Should I go Tankless?
Tankless water heating may seem like a thing of the future but there are a lot of points to consider when choosing this type of water heater.
1) More Cost Effective Once Installed
Tankless heaters are cheaper to run but can typically cost two to four the price of a standard water heater, depending on how the basement is and if it is developed.
2) Not Endless Hot Water
Standard tankless water heaters contrary to belief are not exactly “endless hot water” they Flash boiler the water as it passes through the unit when heat is called for from a faucet. That being said a unit hot water capacity is restricted to produce only the amount of water that it can pass through the unit, a typical tankless water heater can produce 3-5 gallons a minute, prospectively a shower will run at 1.3-2.5 gallons a minute of hot water so you could run two showers at the same time if they both were only set on hot, or you could run two medium temperature showers and a dishwasher etc.
2) Expensive to Maintain
Tankless water heaters are require a lot of maintenance. Contrary to belief that they are maintenance free, Tankless water heaters require regular bi-yearly cleaningthat typically comes with a price tag of $600. Without this cleaning the boiler will bog up with sediment, it will become less efficient and eventually the boiler will cease operation.
Ruud Company invented the first hot water storage tank in 1889. The company is still around today and Its commonly today known as the Rheem Ruud Company. We, at Urban Piping Ltd are fond of this brand for use it all hot water heating including Tankless water heaters.

We have called Urban Piping on two occasions for our rental property. The first time we had a leaky water tank which they quickly diagnosed and replaced. Their price was very reasonable and their service was prompt. The second time we had water coming into the basement. I called them and they came over the next day. They were able to run their equipment to clear debris out of the pipes going to the street and the problem was solved. It took about an hour, the temperatures were -13C so I was worried that a pipe had burst. They let me know how much they were going to charge so there were no surprises. We were very happy with the service and price. Thanks Jordan!
I have to say Urban Piping were careful considerate and their plumber was pleasant, courteous, and did a professional job.I thought a $100 service call fee was reasonable
Really happy with Urban Piping. Our hot water tank broke down on a Sunday, and I had a call back within 20 minutes. I really appreciate their recommendations and options for me to save some cost. They were out the next day and the install was quick and clean. Great experience.
First rate service for a a somewhat tricky drain/sink replacement. Jordan was competent, hardworking and pleasant, and he charged a reasonable rate.
Excellent job, first class results. Dedicated workers, efficient and timely. I am thrilled now and am sure will be happy with the work they have done in years to come
These guys were exceptional. Had a hot water tank leak Friday in the middle of the night. They were there right away with a tank replacement. Jordan was professional, clean and quick. The owner Graham was incredible and walked me through the whole process. Could not be happier. Will recommend over and over again.
Graham and his team really know every aspect of what needs to be done. The finished job is amazing- Thank you Urban Piping
Graham was honest, thorough, and friendly. He recommended only the services that were needed and started with the simplest approaches first.
We are super happy about the service we got from Urban Piping ! Jordan went above and beyond in helping us! He installed a new toilet , and kitchen faucet and helped out out with a couple small problems as well. I can't say enough about what great service we received. Graham also arranged for us to have some drywall fixed also, which was a great plus ! Thanks again
Urban Piping did a fantastic job in changing a water valve and piping in the kitchen sink.Thanks again for doing a great job!

Jordan was very pleasant and efficient replacing a toilet for us. Quick and seamless service. Graham was wonderful setting us up. Excellent service and helpfulness. Well done!
Very professional service. Went above and beyond compared to other plumbers I have used. Responded quickly including coming right back when we noticed something needed tweaking.
Recently Urban Piping did a drain cleaning at my residence in Mckenzie Towne because our sinks and showers were not draining properly. They were prompt, efficient, the price was right....and the problem was solved. Well Done.
Called Urban Piping at 7:30 am and Graham was here by 12:45. The job was done quickly and professionally. Would definitely use this company again.
Found out upon our home insurance renewal that our house in McKenzie had poly b piping, they were going to jack our premiums through the roof if we didn’t get it replaced. After some online searching we found Urban Piping specialized in poly b replacement so we decided to have them come out. From the initial estimate to the day the work was finished there was nothing but professionalism with them. I am proud to say our house is poly b free and we can’t even tell where the walls and ceilings where taken down.
Urban piping came and replaced all my poly b piping! They were fast and efficient and pretty cute to boot! Highly recommended
The poly B replacement they did turned out amazing. It was exactly as quoted and you couldn’t tell where they opened up the walls and ceiling. He was punctual, friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable! If you need an amazing plumber call urban piping Ltd. highly recommended
Great work and great service! Would highly recommend. Jordan is the greatest.
Graham and the rest of the team at urban piping we’re professional and efficient with their work on my home. Will be highly recommending them to all my friends and keeping them in mind for future jobs. Thank you !
Prompt. Affordable. Takes time to explain the process and the fix! ✔️💯
Jordan replaced the hot water tank for us. Really nice guy, great job done. A good company to work with. Keep up the good work.
Very professional, friendly, and affordable. Highly recommend for any plumbing work. 👍👍👍
Jordan arrived punctual, and completed the job to our satisfaction in the time allotted. Both Jordan and Graham were friendly and courteous. Job site was left clean and tidy after old tanks removed. They were recommended to us by a friend, and I would certainly recommend them to our friends.
Forward thinking company with integrity
Graham from Urban Piping arrived on time and had everything ready to go. He gave me a quote for $700 to do a Garburator in my kitchen. He inspected my existing plumbing under my sink and then explained to me the process and immediately went to work. Not only does the garburator work great but now the plumbing under my sink is very clean and organized. The invoice on my bill was BELOW the quote. I didn't think that was possible but I was extremely happy. I HIGHLY recommend having the guys at Urban Piping as they did the job right the first time. I will definitely be using them again when I do my basement renovation!
Graham does an amazing job very well done. Love these guys
these guys are so good honestly saved my home when i needed it the most. cant recommend them enough
Such good response time and efficiency. Best prices ive seen thus far
these guys are the best company ive ever dealt with. truly blown away by Graham and the boys!
loved dealing with these guys for a wide variety of plumbing throughout the years. best services and price.
Graham and Jordan do an amazing job! so efficient and clean i was truly impressed with the level of professionalism and quality done from urban piping
The guy with the beard was fun to hang out and talk with while he did work on my entertainment room.
Urban Piping did an outstanding job replacing the poly-b throughout our house, replacing toilets and flushing drain lines. We were impressed with the customer service, prompt response time and attention to detail through the estimate process. Going through the findings, I learned a lot about the house because Graham took the time to show and explain things to me, even well outside the scope of work. These guys do the entire job, including the refinishing work to walls, ceilings, etc so my job was easier, I didn't have to research and hire separate contractors for anything! Graham also helped us to make smart decisions about specific pieces of work to stay in budget.When it came time for work to begin, he walked me through what to expect through to completion. Attention to detail is beyond thorough with this crew! Everything turned out exactly as we expected and on budget, and the quality of the finishing work is so good that my family can't tell where the walls were opened up! They ran air scrubbers and took great care to protect the house from damage or traveling mess; it was cleaner when they left than it was before they started! Thanks for taking such great care of us through this project, guys!

Huge shout out to Jordan for going above and beyond to repair our 1974 plumbing!! Even managed to track down the only 2 remaining parts in all of Canada!! You are awesome, thank you Jordan and Graham for helping us out! Highly recommend Urban Piping Ltd.
Jordan from Urban Piping came over to do a complete drain cleaning service to our home because we were having problems with the bathroom sinks and drains draining slowly. He was in time, very friendly and cleaned every drain in our home. He also found that there was a problem with a seal in our master bathtub and fixed that for us too. Quick, easy, and great price on the service. Good job guys.
Very good on the plumbing and pipe replacement side of things. Ok on the drywall work.
Professional and friendly staff, have used them on multiple occasions to help install a new water tank and a few emergency calls. Would highly recommend to everyone!
What water tank replacement My hot water stop working so I called urban piping ltd and Graham answered the phone was and was very professional he tried to trouble shoot it over the phone and when he couldn't help over the phone he came the next day early morning looked at it told me his thoughts on the hot water tank and that it had to be replaced so with in a hour he had a new tank at my house and in one more hour he had it installed and working so for that I'm grateful to Graham Drew at urban piping and will be calling them again when something else quits and I will recommend them to my friends and family so once again thank You Graham Drew great work!!!😊
We contacted Urban Piping to complete a poly-b remediation in our home. Graham was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions before the work began.We really appreciated Urban Piping going above and beyond including using an air scrubber during the project to keep the house clean. They made every effort to give suggestions throughout the project and worked very hard to get the work done in a tight timeline. Graham personally came back to our house when the project was complete to discuss the invoice and any final questions or problems we might have had. You don't normally get this kind of service from other contractors and it definitely put us at ease. We chose to use Urban Piping because of their impressive experience with poly-b remediation and because they answered every question we had and made sure we were completely satisfied. We would absolutely recommend them to others for this work to be completed in their home.
Graham and his team were fantastic! His calm demeanor coupled with his excellent service made our Poly-B replacement as stress-free as possible. The attention to detail is unsurpassed. He reorganized our shut-off valves to make them more accessible, brought the plumbing up to the current code, totally protected our home and furnishings, and left the home in almost spotless condition. Having the big air scrubbers constantly on to remove the dust, the plastic walls cordoning off areas and the great clean-up crew made coming back home a great experience. On time and on budget too!!! I'd recommend Urban Piping to everyone for Poly-B remediation.
These guys helped me out big time today. They took the time to listen to the problem instead of just telling me I needed a new hot water tank! Graham had a technician here within a few hours of me calling. It was a small issue and they fixed it quick. Thanks again!
I cannot express my admiration enough for this company. Came home to a busted leaking water tank, and with a way after hours call to them (expecting a machine and instead, chatting with the owner) had arranged a replacement the next day. He showed up when he said, and was in and out in 1 .5 hours complete ( I had drained the tank ahead of time) An absolute professional job, and very cognisant of keeping carpet and floors clean. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend Urban Piping Ltd. for any water tank replacement or any other job for that matter. Thank you Graham, you have a customer for life.Richard S.
