1. I was approached at my door by a very aggressive and typical door to door sales person. My first reaction was to turn them away. I took a few minutes to fight myself and actually listen to what they had to say. 2. After listening I learned a lot of things; my current water heater was approximately 8 years old and would probably last another 8 years with no concerns, the technology that exists today vs. what was used when the my old water heater was manufactured is a hell of a lot different from today, my existing provider has no interest in replacing my water heater with a new one because it costs them nothing to do nothing, the replacement of a new water heater has tons of benefits to my plumbing and all the appliances that use hot water in my house. 3. After hearing all of this I had to confirm and do my own internet research (google). 4. I was able to verify everything that was promised to me at the door and accepted the offer to replace my water heater 5. The installer arrived the next day and took about 1.5 hours to complete the replacement with no fuss or muss 6. My old water heater was returned about two to three weeks later and my previous provider took about two months after numerous emails and calls to remove their charges from my bill 7. I have to say every part of my interaction with Ontario Consumers Home Services was positive and friendly interaction. I have requested they replace my mother's water heater and my in-law's as well. Door guys have a bad reputation, however if I never opened the door and listened I would probably never have replaced my water heater and had the pleasant experience that I did. Next time some one knocks on your door, just give them a chance.
