Tankless Water Heater Rebate from Enbridge

[999jam]

Self explanatory, there is a tankless rebate from Enbridge for tankless water heaters purchased and installed or rented/leased from Mar. 2 2009 to Aug 31 2009. The rebate is $300 credited on your gas bill.

I don't know about leasing options for a gas/tankless water heater, but I recall looking into this last year, and a family of 4 solution installation would come to at least $1500.

Looked at tankless this weekend at Home Depot: $1100 on the shelf.
Nice to have a rebate option. Thanks Op.

I looked into these tanks recently. My powervent need to be replaced.

The reviews are spotty? on these. Suggest you do a Google for reviews.
The colder the water the longer it takes.

It's my impression that installation will be about = the the cost of the unit.

Also an aside...there is new code for regular tanks...ie powervent. Old...black ABS...New a white tubing. This could add a lot depending on how your basement is finished.

I got a quote for a powervent from Sears...the high cost leaders.
Went with a local operator. Check out Home Depot...online as well.

and if I'm correct, this would also qualify for the Home Renovation Tax Credit (HRTC)

better off with the $659 60Gal tank from HD with $250 basic install, comes with lifetime wty on all parts and labour. the last hot water tank you will ever need to buy. gas or electric, pretty much same price.

I dont know all the details, but consider that some tankless hot water tanks also qualify for a rebate under the ecoENERGY grants

http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/residential/p...lify-grant.cfm

plus these rebate prices should be for the federal rebate amount with certain provinces topping the rebate up (iirc ontario matches the federal rebate i.e. $250 + $250 = $500)

NOTE: in order to qualify for the ecoENERGY rebates you must follow the energy audit program.

yeah, you need to pay $250 up front and spend 1-2 hrs doing a home evaluation 1st. if you don't, then you don't get any of those ecorebates. we had it done before our furnace, so now whatever we do to make our home more efficient (windows, doors, insulation, leaks, low flow toilets etc), we get ecorebates as well as whatever ones are available (mb hydro, 15% reno rebate etc).

this is awesome, we need a tankless water heater as our water gets cold often, and have two families in our house.

[applejuice]

had the energy audit done and can't decide...

75 gallon gas traditional @ $700 installed by direct energy + $30 per month

or

tankless @ $700 installed by direct energy + $30 per month (subtract $300 rebate)


those were the rental options

purchase = 2k for a 75 gallon tank installed
purchase = 2k for a tankless installed (subtract $300 enbridge rebate, subtract $400 Ontario/post audit rebate)

makes 1.3k for tankless look great...BUT....I have 3 apartments..2 x 1 bedroom + 1 x 2 bedroom = possibly 3 showers running at once in a 100 year old house with great water pressure...


anyone experinced know what to do?

Can you explain how this works further for someone who is just buying a tankless hot water system. I.e. how much would the rebates be considering all of this + the enbridge?

applejuice,


The tankless supposedly reduces your energy costs 75% as opposed to traditional water tank heating.

I'm getting mine this week.

I would suspect that is an estimate, not a fact.
maybe something like
...
up to 75%
