Why do I have no hot water?

No hot water is usually a tripped breaker, a blown fuse, a failed gas valve or igniter, a pilot that is out, or a tank that has failed. Check the breaker and the switch on the unit first. If it is gas and you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility, then book a licensed technician.

How long does a water heater last in North Bay?

A tank water heater typically lasts 8–12 years. Tankless units often last 15–20 years with annual flushing. Hard water and skipped anode-rod service shorten tank life. If the tank is past 10 years and leaking or rusty, replacement is usually the better spend.

Should I rent or own my water heater?

Owning is usually cheaper over the life of the tank. Rental contracts add a monthly fee for years, and the buy-out can be high near the end of the term. Compare the remaining rental term, the buy-out, and a local install quote from A.R. Mechanical before you renew.

Do you install tankless water heaters?

Yes. A.R. Mechanical installs tankless (on-demand) water heaters where the gas line, venting, and electrical service can support one. Tankless units heat water as you use it, so they do not run out the way a tank does, but they need correct sizing for North Bay inlet-water temperatures.

Do you repair hot water tanks?

Yes. A.R. Mechanical diagnoses and repairs tank water heaters that have no hot water, lukewarm water, leaks, or a pilot or ignition fault. A licensed technician quotes the repair before major parts are replaced. A leaking tank is usually a replacement, not a repair.

Does A.R. Mechanical install water heaters in North Bay?

Yes. A.R. Mechanical installs, repairs, and replaces water heaters for homes and businesses in North Bay and the surrounding area. That includes gas, propane, and electric tank heaters, plus tankless units. Call (705) 472-6117 or email admin@ar-mechanical.ca .

How do I contact A.R. Mechanical about ductwork?

A.R. Mechanical, 49 Lakeshore Dr., North Bay, ON P1A 2A4. Phone (705) 472-6117. Email admin@ar-mechanical.ca . Hours Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

How do I book duct or ventilation service?

Call (705) 472-6117, email admin@ar-mechanical.ca , or use the form on ar-mechanical.ca. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Describe the room that is uneven, or say if you need cleaning, new ducts, or an HRV check, so the visit is scoped correctly.

Do you offer maintenance that includes the ducts?

The Membership Program covers planned service on the heating and cooling equipment the ducts are attached to, including filter, blower, and airflow checks. Full duct cleaning is booked separately when the inspection shows it is needed.

How long does a duct repair or install take?

A small repair, such as a disconnected or crushed run, is often finished in one visit. A new trunk line, a basement extension, or a full replacement takes longer and depends on access. A.R. Mechanical quotes the scope after seeing the system.
