Your mornings start smoother when hot water is always ready. No more cold showers when multiple people need to get ready. No more waiting for the tank to reheat.
Tankless water heaters deliver hot water instantly, whenever you turn on the tap. You save space in your utility room. You cut your energy bills by heating water only when you use it, not 24/7 like traditional tanks.
In East Sacramento’s hard water conditions, a properly installed tankless system with regular maintenance gives you 15-20 years of reliable service. That’s nearly double what you get from a traditional tank water heater.
We’ve earned a 4.7-star rating from East Sacramento homeowners who needed their water heating problems solved right the first time. We’ve been handling emergency calls and planned installations across the Sacramento area, building our reputation on quick response times and transparent pricing.
When you call us, you get a real person who understands Sacramento’s unique plumbing challenges. Our technicians know how hard water affects tankless systems and what it takes to install them properly in older East Sacramento homes.
We show up when we say we will. We quote fair prices upfront. And we often finish jobs for less than the original estimate because we believe in doing right by our neighbors.
First, we assess your home’s hot water needs and existing plumbing setup. Not every house is ready for tankless right out of the gate, so we check your gas lines, electrical capacity, and water pressure to make sure everything will work properly.
Next, we help you choose the right size unit for your household. Too small and you won’t get adequate flow during peak demand. Too large and you’re paying for capacity you don’t need.
Installation day, we handle the removal of your old system, install the new tankless unit according to manufacturer specs and local codes, and test everything thoroughly. We walk you through the operation and maintenance requirements before we leave, so you know exactly how to keep your system running efficiently.
The whole process typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on any necessary upgrades to gas lines or electrical connections.
Ready to get started?
Your tankless water heater installation includes proper sizing consultation, removal of your old water heater, installation of the new unit with all necessary connections, and full system testing. We handle permits and ensure everything meets local building codes.
East Sacramento’s hard water means your system needs proper setup from day one. We install water softening solutions when needed and set up maintenance schedules to prevent the mineral buildup that kills tankless units prematurely in our area.
You also get rebate assistance. Sacramento Municipal Utility District offers up to $800 in rebates for qualifying high-efficiency units, and we help you navigate the paperwork to claim every dollar you’re entitled to.
We back our installation work with solid warranties and provide 24/7 emergency service if anything goes wrong. When East Sacramento homeowners need their hot water restored fast, they call us.
Installation costs typically range from $3,000 to $6,000, depending on your home’s existing setup and the unit size you need. The biggest variables are whether we need to upgrade your gas line or electrical service to handle the higher demand of a tankless system.
Many East Sacramento homes built before 1990 need some upgrades to accommodate tankless technology properly. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you know exactly what’s involved before we start work.
Factor in the available rebates from SMUD and PG&E, which can reduce your out-of-pocket cost by up to $800. Over the 15-20 year lifespan of a tankless unit, most homeowners save money compared to replacing traditional tank water heaters multiple times.
Yes, but Sacramento’s hard water requires proper installation and regular maintenance to prevent problems. Hard water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium that build up inside tankless systems, restricting water flow and reducing efficiency.
We recommend installing a water softening system alongside your tankless unit if your water hardness exceeds 7 grains per gallon. This prevents most mineral buildup and extends your system’s lifespan significantly.
Professional descaling service once per year removes any mineral deposits that do accumulate. This maintenance is essential in our area and keeps your warranty valid. Skip it, and you’ll likely face expensive repairs within 3-5 years instead of getting the full 15-20 year lifespan these systems are designed for.
Most installations take 4-6 hours from start to finish. This includes removing your old water heater, installing the new tankless unit, making all necessary connections, and testing the system thoroughly.
If your home needs gas line or electrical upgrades, add another 2-4 hours depending on complexity. Older East Sacramento homes sometimes need these upgrades to meet the higher demand of tankless systems.
We handle all permits and inspections as part of the installation process. You won’t have hot water during the installation day, so we recommend scheduling when it’s most convenient for your household. We can often complete installations on the same day you call, especially for emergency replacements.
Size depends on your peak hot water demand, not your home’s square footage. We calculate this by adding up the flow rates of fixtures you might use simultaneously – typically 2-3 showers, plus dishwasher and washing machine.
Most East Sacramento homes need units rated between 160,000 and 199,000 BTUs for gas models, or 24-36 kW for electric units. A family of four with 2.5 bathrooms typically needs a unit that can deliver 6-8 gallons per minute at a 70-degree temperature rise.
We measure your home’s actual demand during our consultation rather than guessing. Undersized units leave you with lukewarm water during peak demand. Oversized units cost more upfront and may cycle on and off inefficiently, reducing their lifespan.
Yes, properly installed tankless units typically reduce water heating costs by 20-30% compared to traditional tank water heaters. The savings come from eliminating standby heat loss – you’re not keeping 40-50 gallons of water hot 24/7 whether you need it or not.
In East Sacramento, where PG&E rates continue climbing, these savings add up quickly. Most homeowners see $200-400 annual savings on their energy bills. Over a 15-year lifespan, that’s $3,000-6,000 in total savings.
The exact savings depend on your household’s hot water usage patterns and current energy costs. Homes that use hot water sporadically throughout the day see the biggest savings. Large families with consistent heavy usage may see smaller percentage savings but still reduce their bills significantly.
Annual professional descaling is essential in Sacramento due to our hard water conditions. This involves flushing the system with a descaling solution to remove mineral buildup from the heat exchanger and internal components.
You should also replace the water filter every 6-12 months and check for any leaks or error codes monthly. The air intake and exhaust vents need cleaning periodically to ensure proper ventilation.
Most manufacturers require annual professional maintenance to keep your warranty valid. We provide maintenance service that includes descaling, filter replacement, system inspection, and performance testing. Skipping this maintenance in Sacramento’s hard water conditions typically results in expensive repairs or premature replacement within 5-7 years instead of the expected 15-20 year lifespan.
