For Alberta homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency and convenience, on-demand water heaters have become a popular upgrade. These systems heat water only when needed, saving both space and energy. Project Heating helps homeowners across Alberta select, install, and maintain reliable tankless water heaters designed for performance and long-term value.

An on-demand or tankless water heater provides continuous hot water without storing it in a tank. This design eliminates standby energy loss and reduces operating costs over time. Homeowners in Alberta also appreciate the compact size and cleaner operation of these systems compared to traditional tanks.
By choosing expert installation through Project Heating’s tankless water heater services, you can ensure your system runs efficiently from day one and delivers consistent performance for years.
Most on-demand water heaters last between 15 and 20 years, while traditional storage tanks typically last 8 to 12 years. The extended lifespan is due to the efficient design that limits corrosion and heat fatigue. However, the true longevity depends on correct installation, regular servicing, and water quality.
Project Heating installs all systems to meet Alberta building standards, ensuring proper venting, secure fittings, and correct water pressure. If your existing tank system is aging, our water heater installation experts can help you transition to a tankless model suited to your home and usage needs.
Alberta’s hard water and cold winters both influence the tankless water heater lifespan. Hard water leads to mineral buildup that affects water flow and heating efficiency, while freezing temperatures increase system demand during the winter months.
To protect your equipment, Project Heating recommends using a water softener or filtration system and scheduling routine maintenance. We provide comprehensive inspections and descaling services through our water heater repair team, which helps prevent scale buildup and mechanical stress over time.
Routine water heater maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and extends its service life. Alberta homeowners can maintain performance with a few simple steps:
The experts at Project Heating offer scheduled service programs that help Alberta homeowners protect their investment year-round.
Even with proper maintenance, every water heater will eventually wear out. If you notice inconsistent temperatures, low water flow, or rising utility bills, these are signs the system needs inspection. While minor issues can often be repaired, aging systems may benefit from a full replacement.
