HOW IT WORKS: RESIDENTIAL HOTWATER TANKS
If you need a residential type tank, the Utilities Kingston water-heater rental program is this simple:
-
You check the Utilities Kingston List of Associated Dealers to find contractors approved for installation of our rental water
heaters. (You can also have the list faxed or mailed to you by calling 546-0000. Or, you can visit our office at 1211 John Counter Blvd.)
-
You get estimates from the Associated Dealers you select for the installation of your preferred water heater. We recommend that you get written quotes from at
least two contractors. (These professionals can also give you advice on the best water heater for your home.)
-
Based on those estimates, you choose an Associated Dealer as your installation contractor. Your chosen contractor will pick up and install the rental heater,
complete the agreement, and submit it to us along with their invoice for the installation allowance. (That allowance is a set amount Utilities Kingston has
agreed to pay contractors for the basic installation of each water heater model.)
-
The monthly Water Heater Rental charge appears on your next utility bill.
HOW IT WORKS: COMMERCIAL RENTALS
If you are interested in a commercial hot water tank rental, you begin the process by visiting our office at 1211 John Counter Blvd. and meeting with a Services
Advisor person. Call 546-0000 extension 2285 to arrange a meeting. We require that the owner of the building where the rental heater(s) will be installed
provide appropriate information and a signature.

INSTALLATION ALLOWANCES
Utilities Kingston pays the Associated Dealer an installation allowance that is intended to cover basic installation of the water heater. Should more
work be required (such as moving the tank, new piping or ductwork), additional charges may be billed to the homeowner by the installer. All Associated Dealers
are to inform customers of any additional charges before installing the water heater. Because additional charges may vary among contractors, Utilities
Kingston urges rental customers to obtain installation estimates from at least two Associated Dealers.
CHANGE IN THE ONTARIO BUILDING CODE (OBC)
Ontario Regulation 23/04 - Limitations on the maximum temperature of hot water supplied by fittings in residential occupancies.
The cost of anti-scald devices for compliance to this regulation is the responsibility of the customer. An installed anti-scald device is part of the customer
owned plumbing system and is not considered as part of a Utilities Kingston rental hot water heater.
EXITING THE RENTAL PROGRAM
If you are considering removal of a Utilities Kingston rental water heater, please call us first. We will be able to provide you with the alternative options
available to you and advise you if any termination fees apply in advance of you making your decision.
