Step-by-Step: How to Cancel Your Enercare Water Heater Rental

📋 1. Check Your Contract

Look for:

• 📅 Rental start date

• 🔒 Contract length (usually 7, 10, or 15 years)

• 💸 Early termination clause or buyout price

If you're unsure, call Enercare at 1-866-281-4290 and ask:

“Can you confirm the current contract status and remaining term of my water heater rental?”

✍️ 2. Submit Your Written Cancellation Notice

Enercare requires written notice to begin the cancellation process. You can do this by:

• Calling Customer Service at 1-866-281-4290

• Emailing or mailing a cancellation letter (get confirmation in writing)

• Submitting a cancellation request through your Enercare online account

Once accepted, Enercare will provide a Confirmation Number and issue a Pending Return Notice (PRN) for the equipment.

🚚 3. Return or Schedule Removal of the Tank

You are responsible for the equipment return — choose your method:

Return Method	Cost Effective?	What's Involved
Drop Off Yourself	✅ Cheapest	You disconnect & deliver
Pickup (You Disconnect)	🟡 Moderate	You disconnect, they pick up
Full Removal by Enercare	❌ Most Expensive	They handle everything

Tip: Always take photos/videos of the unit, and get a signed receipt if dropping off.

💵 4. Be Prepared for Exit Charges

Enercare may charge for:

• Early contract termination

• Pro-rated rental fees

• Removal/labor fees

• Damage or missing parts (especially if under 7 years old)

Fee ranges (based on tank age and contract):

Tank Age	Drop Off	Pick-Up	Full Removal
< 1 year	$200–$300	$250–$350	$350+
1–7 years	$50–$150	$100–$200	$200–$300
7–10 years	$0–$100	$80–$150	$150–$250
Over 10 years	Usually $0	$50–$100	$100–$200

📸 Document the tank before return to avoid damage disputes.

💰 5. Consider Buying the Tank Instead

You may be able to buy out the tank — this is especially useful if:

• Your tank is in good condition

• You want to avoid removal hassles

• You're nearing the contract end

Call Enercare and ask:

“What is the purchase price of my hot water tank?”

Note: Be careful not to confuse this with the contract buyout price.

If your home was newly built, your Enercare tank may be part of a builder rental program. These often:

• Have long fixed contracts

• Are transferable to new owners

• Appear as liens or Notices of Security Interest on your home’s title

✅ Ask your lawyer to review your Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) for rental disclosures before closing.

What to Do After Cancelling

✅ Return the equipment or confirm removal✅ Get documentation and a zero balance confirmation✅ Consider upgrading to:

• Tankless water heaters (heat water on demand)
