Whatever you have mentioned is quite true, in regards to renting Vs buying water heater. I stopped renting my water heater a long time ago. I know that if i am renting water heater, in case of any problem i was could call reliance home comfort and they will send someone over to repair it without additional charges but i realized that water heater don't break down often. The money you saved by owning your water heater is enough to cover the occasional repair cost. What i did was when i bought my water heater, i bought the one with the longest warranty of 9 years that i could afford. The 9 years warranty was only for the water heater parts covered but 1 year is for labour warranty. I also opted for the extended warranty which covered upto 9 years of labour warranty as well. This means that in 9 years time, if anything were to happen to my water heater, i do not spend a dime for repairs at all since i am covered for both parts and labour warranty.
