Overview
A tall electric tank with A.O. Smith's commercial-grade ProLine build, sized for busy households that run showers, laundry and the dishwasher close together. A glass-lined steel tank, a long-life anode rod and a self-cleaning dip tube that limits sediment help it last, and with no burner or venting it suits homes without gas.

Who pays for repairs
Repairs are the part nobody budgets for. This is the real difference between renting and owning.
Breakdowns, parts and service calls, for the whole plan, apart from the exceptions in the rental agreement such as damage or misuse. Then it is yours to keep.
Covered by the manufacturer’s warranty from day one, on the manufacturer’s terms, once you register it. Add Arctic Protect and we cover breakdowns for 5 years, up to the plan’s limits.
Manufacturer warranty terms are set by the manufacturer and shown in the specifications below. On a rental, Arctic registers the manufacturer warranty for you; if you buy, you register it with the manufacturer yourself, and we give you the model and serial numbers.

Fine print
- Your monthly rental adjusts once a year, on the anniversary of your install. Increases are nominal in nature and tied to CPI and Arctic’s annual surcharge. The exact amount for every year is set out in your agreement before you sign. Purchase and financed prices do not change. How the annual adjustment works
- The 30-day trial applies to rentals only. Financed and outright purchases do not include a trial. The 30 days run from the day your equipment is installed, not from the day you order, and the trial does not apply to new home installations arranged through a builder, where the equipment comes to you through your Agreement of Purchase and Sale. The 30-day rental trial in full
- The buy-out price follows a fixed schedule set on the day you sign: a percentage of the installed price for each year of the term, never below the minimum in your schedule, plus HST. It drops every year and never rises. If you sell your home, the new owners can take over the rental once they accept the agreement and your account is paid up to date. Buying out or transferring
- On a rental or Arctic Own, nothing is charged when you book: your first payment is taken after the equipment is installed, and HST applies. Buying outright is paid in full by card at checkout. When you are charged
- Prices include the equipment, professional installation and removal of your old unit, plus service and repairs on a rental, apart from the exceptions in the rental agreement such as damage or misuse. HST applies on top of the prices shown. What is included in a price
