You turn on the shower and wait. And wait. Maybe someone just did laundry. Maybe your teenager just took a marathon bath. Either way, you’re left with a lukewarm disappointment, or worse, no hot water at all.
At Simcoe Muskoka Home Comfort (SMHC), we understand the frustration of running out of hot water. You shouldn’t have to plan your day around when the water heater comes back online. That’s why we offer reliable, efficient tankless water heaters that provide endless hot water whenever you need it: No bulky storage tank, no wasted energy, and no cold surprises.
But for us, it’s not just about installing equipment. It’s about helping homeowners make smart, lasting upgrades that improve daily comfort, save money, and simplify life. If you’re fed up with high utility bills, running out of hot water, or need more space, we can help you decide if a tankless system is the best choice for your home and family.
Tankless water heaters, also known as demand-type systems, operate differently from traditional systems. Instead of heating and storing water in a tank 24/7, tankless models heat water only when you need it.
Here’s how it works:
Because there’s no standby heat loss, tankless water heaters are more energy efficient, offering longer life, fewer breakdowns, and lower energy costs.
Feature | Tankless Water Heater | Conventional Storage Water Heater |
Hot Water Supply | Endless hot water on demand | Limited to tank capacity |
Energy Use | Heats water only when needed | Continuously heats to maintain temperature |
Energy Efficiency | High (no standby heat loss) | Lower (constant reheating) |
Lifespan | 10-15 years | 10–15 years |
Space Requirements | Compact (mounts to the wall) | Bulky tank, takes up floor space |
Upfront Cost | Higher | Lower |
Operating Costs | Lower in the long term | Higher over time |
Environmental Impact | Lower (less wasted fuel/energy) | Higher |
Choosing the right tankless water system means understanding how your household uses water. We’ll walk through everything with you, but here’s a quick guide:
This isn’t one-size-fits-all. At SMHC, we take the time to understand your layout, lifestyle, and comfort needs. No jargon. No pressure. Just guidance that makes sense for your home.
Installing a tankless water heater is not something you want to DIY or leave to a general contractor. Proper sizing, safe gas or electric hookups, and venting through an outside wall are all crucial considerations.
At SMHC, our licensed technicians have installed hundreds of gas tankless water heaters throughout Simcoe and Muskoka. We know how to handle older homes, tight crawl spaces, and seasonal cottages with unique and quirky plumbing. You can trust us to get the job done right.
Once installed, your system is relatively low-maintenance, but upkeep matters:
We don’t just set it and forget it. We’re here long after the installation to ensure it runs smoothly for years to come.
The real power of tankless water heaters lies in long-term savings—but only if the system is optimized. Here’s how we make sure yours delivers:
