If you are having a conventional hot water heater upgradeto an energy efficient one in Toronto and GTA and if your house does not currently have a chimney liner installed, technician legally should not install a hot water heater for you unless a chimney liner is installed as well. More over some customer end up getting Red Tags on their existing hot water heaters and their mid efficient furnaces in Toronto and GTA due to the fact that an existing chimney liner is not the right size or a house never had a chimney liner installed in the first place.
I received a phone call from one of my friends this afternoon who was complaining how he got a Red Tag today in his Toronto home. After calling around he found out that the red tag stood for the fact that he didn’t have a chimney liner installed in his Toronto home. He recently upgraded his old furnace to a high efficiency unit and whoever installed it forgot to mention the fact that he now had to have a chimney liner installed for his gas conventional vented hot water heater. It turns out that TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) passed on a new regulation not too long ago, which states that all new conventional vent hot water heater installations are now required to have a chimney liner installed as well for safety purposes in Toronto, GTA and the rest of Ontario. More over if you are getting your furnace and/or a hot water heater replacement to an energy efficient one in Toronto or GTA or the rest of Ontario for that matter and both your furnace and hot water heater are vented through the masonry chimney you are required to have a chimney liner installed if you currently do not have one. If you are disconnecting one of the two units, conventional vent hot water heater or mid efficiency furnace in Toronto or GTA and installing a high efficient hot water heater or a furnace which is now being vented through a PVC vent piping, then the other unit is required to have a chimney liner installed even if you are not upgrading the actual unit, unless both your conventional vent hot water heater and mid efficiency furnace are being upgraded to energy efficient units that both vent gases through PVC venting.
After calling technician who installed a furnace for my friend he learned that the cost for a chimney liner installation in his Toronto home would be $475 which sounded unreasonable to me. And that is where a help from DeMark Home Ontario Inc specialist came. We learned that a chimney liner can be installed for as low as $2.95 per month in Toronto and GTA if he was to replace his existing old rental hot water heater to an energy efficient rental unit. More over the monthly rental fee turned out to be cheaper that his current supplier’s and it is all under the same Enbridge billing program. A second suggestion that we got is to have a conventional hot water heater upgraded to a power vented high efficiency one which uses same PVC venting piping method as his new furnace and that would save the hassle of installing a chimney liner. Now it is up to my friend to decide which route to go.
