No more timing your showers around everyone else’s schedule. No more cold water surprises when the dishwasher kicks on. Your tankless water heater delivers hot water on demand – as much as you need, when you need it.
You’ll see the difference on your energy bill too. These systems only heat water when you’re actually using it, which can cut your water heating costs by up to 34%. That’s real money back in your pocket every month.
And you’ll finally get that storage space back. Traditional water heaters are bulky – about 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. Your new tankless unit? About the size of a small suitcase, mounted on the wall.
We’ve been serving College/Glen families with honest plumbing work and fair pricing for years. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews tells the story – we show up when we say we will, do the work right the first time, and charge what we quoted.
What sets us apart is our 24/7 emergency service. When your water heater fails at 10 PM on a Sunday, we’re the team that answers the phone. We understand that plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours.
Our licensed technicians know College/Glen’s unique needs. We work with the local building codes, understand the area’s hard water challenges, and stock the right equipment to get your installation done in one trip.
First, we assess your home’s hot water needs and existing setup. We’ll measure your peak usage – how much hot water you use when everything’s running at once. This determines the right size unit for your household.
Next, we handle the technical work. This includes upgrading gas lines if needed, installing proper venting, and ensuring electrical connections meet California code. We pull all necessary permits and schedule inspections so everything’s done legally and safely.
Installation typically takes 4-6 hours. We’ll mount your new unit, connect all lines, test the system thoroughly, and walk you through basic operation. Before we leave, you’ll have endless hot water and a system that’s built to last 15-20 years.
We haul away your old unit and clean up completely. No mess left behind.
Ready to get started?
Your installation includes the tankless unit, all necessary fittings and connections, gas line modifications if required, and proper venting installation. We handle permits, inspections, and disposal of your old water heater at no extra charge.
College/Glen’s hard water means we also include a water quality assessment. If your water has high mineral content, we’ll recommend and install appropriate filtration to protect your investment and maintain peak performance.
We back our work with comprehensive warranties. The unit itself comes with manufacturer warranty (typically 10-15 years), and our installation work is guaranteed. If something goes wrong with our workmanship, we fix it free.
You’ll also receive a maintenance schedule customized for College/Glen water conditions. Annual descaling keeps your system running efficiently and extends its lifespan significantly.
Installation costs typically range from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on your home’s setup and the unit size you need. Gas units generally cost more upfront than electric, but they’re often more cost-effective long-term in College/Glen where natural gas rates are competitive.
The biggest cost factors are gas line modifications and venting requirements. Older homes sometimes need upgraded gas lines to handle the higher BTU requirements. We provide detailed estimates upfront so there are no surprises.
Don’t forget about available rebates. California offers tax credits for Energy Star certified tankless units, and some local utilities provide additional incentives. We help you navigate these programs to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Yes, but sizing is critical. A properly sized tankless unit can handle multiple simultaneous uses – two showers plus dishwasher, for example. The key is calculating your peak demand accurately.
Most College/Glen families do well with a unit rated for 8-10 gallons per minute. This handles two showers running simultaneously with capacity for other uses. Larger families or homes with high-flow fixtures might need a larger unit or even two smaller units.
We measure your actual usage patterns, not just guess. This includes checking flow rates on your current fixtures and understanding your family’s hot water habits. Getting the sizing right means you’ll never run out of hot water, even during busy morning routines.
Tankless units typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, compared to 8-12 years for traditional tank water heaters. The longer lifespan is one reason the higher upfront cost often makes financial sense.
The key to longevity is annual maintenance, especially in College/Glen where hard water can cause mineral buildup. We recommend professional descaling once a year, which involves flushing the system with a vinegar solution to remove calcium and lime deposits.
With regular maintenance, many tankless units perform like new for their entire lifespan. Tank water heaters, on the other hand, gradually lose efficiency and capacity as they age, even with maintenance.
Annual descaling is the main maintenance requirement. College/Glen’s hard water creates mineral buildup inside the heat exchanger, which reduces efficiency and can damage components if left untreated.
The descaling process involves connecting a pump system that circulates a vinegar or descaling solution through the unit for about an hour. This dissolves mineral deposits and keeps your system running at peak efficiency.
You should also check and clean the air intake filter every few months, especially during dusty seasons. This takes about 5 minutes and helps prevent airflow restrictions that can affect performance. We provide maintenance reminders and can handle the annual service if you prefer professional care.
Tankless installation isn’t a DIY project. California requires licensed contractors for gas line work, electrical connections, and permits. Improper installation can be dangerous and will void your manufacturer warranty.
The installation involves precise gas line sizing, proper venting, electrical connections, and water line modifications. Getting any of these wrong can create safety hazards or cause the unit to underperform. Professional installation also ensures compliance with local building codes.
The money you might save doing it yourself gets eaten up quickly if something goes wrong. Professional installation protects your investment and ensures safe, reliable operation from day one.
Most installations are completed in one day, typically 4-6 hours depending on your home’s setup. If extensive gas line modifications are needed, it might take two days, but we’ll give you a clear timeline upfront.
We stock the most popular tankless units and can often provide same-day installation if you call before noon. For emergency replacements, we prioritize getting you back to hot water as quickly as possible.
The timeline depends mainly on your existing setup. Homes with newer gas lines and proper electrical service go faster. Older homes might need additional work, but we handle everything – permits, inspections, and coordination with utility companies if needed.
