The homeowner had been experiencing inconsistent hot water in their home for months. Their old water heater, a 15-year-old conventional tank system, struggled to keep up with their daily needs. The water temperature fluctuated unpredictably, and they noticed a significant increase in their energy bills. Additionally, the heater had started making unusual noises, and there were signs of minor leaks around the base.

Concerned about the possibility of a complete breakdown—especially during Edmonton’s harsh winter months—the homeowner decided to reach out to Studio Plumbing for a professional assessment.

After conducting a thorough inspection, our team confirmed that the existing water heater was not only inefficient but also on the verge of failure. We provided the homeowners with several replacement options, including high-efficiency conventional tanks and modern tankless water heaters.

Considering their needs and budget, the homeowners opted for a high-efficiency 50-gallon gas water heater. This option provided them with consistent hot water while reducing their energy consumption.

1. Removal of the Old Unit – Our team safely disconnected and removed the outdated water heater, ensuring no damage to surrounding plumbing or flooring.

2. New System Installation – We installed the new 50-gallon high-efficiency gas water heater, ensuring proper venting and secure connections to existing plumbing.

3. System Testing & Safety Checks – After installation, we conducted a series of tests to confirm the new system was functioning optimally. We checked for leaks, ensured proper water pressure, and verified safe gas connections.

4. Client Education – Finally, we provided the homeowners with a walkthrough of their new system, including maintenance tips and troubleshooting guidance.

• Consistent Hot Water Supply: No more temperature fluctuations or running out of hot water during showers or dishwashing.

• Increased Efficiency: The high-efficiency model reduced energy consumption, leading to noticeable savings on monthly utility bills.

• Peace of Mind: With a new, reliable water heater, the homeowners no longer had to worry about sudden breakdowns or water damage from leaks.
