A tankless water heater heats water on demand as it flows through the unit, so it never runs out and never keeps 50 gallons hot around the clock waiting to be used — which is why families that constantly ran out of hot water and homeowners tired of an energy bill for standby heat both end up here. A tankless unit delivers endless hot water, lasts closer to 20 years versus a tank's 10-to-15, and hangs on a wall to reclaim the floor space a tank ate. Installed correctly, it's the last water heater upgrade most {city} homes need for a long time.
The correctness is where tankless installs go right or wrong. On-demand heating draws a large burst of gas, so most conversions need a larger gas line and sometimes a meter upgrade; the high-efficiency condensing units need proper venting and a condensate drain with neutralizer; and the unit has to be sized to your climate's incoming water temperature and your peak simultaneous demand, or it delivers a disappointing lukewarm flow. We size by real demand and inlet temperature, run the gas, venting, and condensate to code, and commission the unit so it delivers its rated flow across {county} — not the underwhelming trickle of an undersized install.
Tankless units also need service that a tank doesn't, and we do both sides. Hard water scales the heat exchanger over time, dropping output and eventually throwing an error code, so an annual descaling flush is what keeps a Navien or Rinnai performing — and when a unit does flash a code for ignition, flow, or scale, we read it, descale or replace the sensor, and clear it. Whether it's a new install, a conversion from tank, or service on a unit you already own, we handle the whole tankless picture across {areas} and {city}.
Signs you need tankless water heater
You keep running out of hot water
A tank that can't cover back-to-back showers is undersized, and a tankless unit ends the problem with endless on-demand hot water. It's the most common reason the United States homeowners make the switch.
A tank takes a sizable footprint in a closet, utility room, or basement, while a tankless unit hangs on the wall. The reclaimed space is a real win in a tight the United States home.
Your energy bill carries standby heat
A tank reheats its stored water around the clock whether you use it or not. A tankless unit only fires when you draw hot water, cutting the standby waste for the your area home.
Your old tank is failing
When a tank reaches end of life, replacement is the natural moment to go tankless. We size and price both so the the United States decision is informed, not rushed.
Your tankless is throwing error codes
A Navien or Rinnai flashing an ignition, flow, or scale code needs service, not replacement. We read the code and descale or repair it on the the United States visit.
Common causes & what we fix
Undersized existing tank
A tank spec'd too small for the household runs cold under simultaneous use, and no tank swap fixes back-to-back demand like on-demand heating does. It's the core reason for a the United States tankless conversion.
Scale in the heat exchanger
Hard water deposits scale inside the heat exchanger, dropping output and eventually triggering error codes. An annual descaling flush is what keeps a the United States tankless at full performance.
Undersized gas supply
Tankless units draw a large gas burst that an old undersized line can't feed, causing ignition faults and low output. Upsizing the gas line is often the fix behind a struggling your area install.
Ignition and flow-sensor faults
Igniters, flame sensors, and flow sensors wear and foul over years of cycling, throwing codes and dropping the unit out. We carry the common sensors for the the United States service call.
Venting or condensate problems
A blocked vent or a clogged condensate drain shuts a condensing unit down on a safety fault. Clearing and correcting them restores the the United States unit to service.

Frequently asked about tankless water heater
Top questions homeowners searching for Tankless Water Heater near me ask us:
Is a tankless water heater worth it?
For a household that runs out of hot water or wants to reclaim space and cut standby energy, yes. It delivers endless hot water and lasts closer to 20 years, though it costs more up front and needs a larger gas line and venting. We price it against a tank for your the United States home.
What does a tankless conversion require?
Usually a larger gas line, new venting, and a condensate drain for condensing units, plus a wall-mount location and correct sizing for your inlet water temperature. We handle all of it to code so the the United States unit delivers its rated flow.
How long does a tankless install take?
A tankless conversion typically runs 4–8 hours because of the gas-line, venting, and mounting work — longer than a tank swap. A like-for-like tankless replacement is faster. We scope your your area install and give a firm timeline.
Does a tankless heater need maintenance?
Yes — an annual descaling flush clears the scale that hard water builds in the heat exchanger, which protects output and prevents error codes. We offer scheduled descaling for the United States tankless units to keep them at full performance.
Why is my tankless heater showing an error code?
Codes usually point to ignition, flow, or scale faults. We read the specific Navien, Rinnai, or Rheem code, then descale the exchanger or replace the sensor causing it and clear the fault on the the United States visit. We serve ZIPs .
