Water 
heaters:
rent or buy?

You can choose your new water heater without worrying about significant upfront costs. Your payments are spread out, making them much easier to manage. This monthly fee is locked in, with no monthly rental increases for 5 years, guaranteed.

We proactively call to schedule periodic maintenance on your equipment and catch breakdowns before they happen.

We'll be there immediately in the event anything goes wrong, and total replacement of your equipment is covered if we can’t fix the issue.

Depending on your city, Sterling will ensure that you are able to take advantage of as many rebates and subsidies available to you.

This is an open-ended agreement where you are gaining equity as you rent. If you sell your home, you can transfer the equipment to the new owners or buy out the remaining balance.

If you know you may be selling your home in the next 3-5 years, an owned water heater can contribute to the value of your house to buyers.

We offer competitive pricing on all major brands of water heaters. We will ask the right questions to determine your needs, make sure you’re familiar with the change in building codes, and explain how that may affect your situation now or in the future. The age of your water heater and chimney (if you have one), and the age of your home all factor into our recommended water heater options.

Often, equipment manufacturers require annual maintenance to uphold the factory warranty. Additionally, with high-efficiency furnaces, there are more sensors that need to be maintained when compared with older mid-efficient equipment.

Depending on your city, there may be government rebates and subsidy programs available to individuals purchasing equipment. Some of these are only available to homeowners purchasing equipment outright.
