Ongoing protection, low monthly payments
Here are some facts to help you decide whether you should continue to rent or buy out your water heater:
| Rental | Buyout | |
|---|---|---|
| Protection | Your Enercare AdvantageTM rental gives you peace of mind with free maintenance and repairs for the life of your unit.** Our trained technicians carry out all their work to the highest standards of quality and timeliness. | When you buy your unit, you take on the responsibility of paying for all repairs, parts and labour. |
| Cost | You pay one predictable, competitive monthly fee for your Enercare AdvantageTM rental. | You pay a single lump sum buyout fee and assume ongoing costs of maintenance and repair. |
| Support | Enercare AdvantageTM gives you unlimited service calls* and 24/7 access to 700+ certified technicians, with same-day service if you call before 5 p.m.** and disposal of any tank that’s no longer up to code.*** | You may have some coverage under the manufacturer’s warranty, but that will expire at some point with an older unit. Even if a warranty is available, you will still need to find a third-party contractor to carry out servicing and repairs. |
What could maintenance and repairs cost?
When you buy your water heater outright, a single service call could cost several hundred dollars
