Your mornings just got better. No more cold showers when the kids used all the hot water. No more waiting five minutes for the kitchen faucet to warm up.
Your utility bills drop by 20-40% because tankless units only heat water when you need it. That’s real money back in your pocket every month.
You reclaim that bulky water heater space for storage or other uses. And you sleep better knowing there’s zero risk of a 40-gallon tank bursting and flooding your home at 2 AM.
Murray Plumbing has earned a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 customers who needed real solutions, not sales pitches. We respond quickly when you call and show up when we say we will.
Sacramento homeowners choose Murray Plumbing because we quote fair prices upfront and often finish jobs for less than the original estimate. No surprises, no upselling, no games.
When your water heater fails at the worst possible time, our 24/7 emergency service means you’re not waiting until Monday morning for help.
First, we evaluate your home’s hot water needs and existing gas and electrical connections. We’ll recommend the right size unit for your household and explain exactly what the installation involves.
The installation typically takes 4-6 hours. Our team removes your old water heater, installs new gas lines if needed, mounts the tankless unit on the wall, and connects all plumbing and electrical components.
Before leaving, we test the entire system, walk you through the controls, and clean up completely. You’ll have hot water immediately and a warranty that covers both parts and labor.

Murray Plumbing handles every aspect of your tankless water heater installation. This includes removing and disposing of your old unit, upgrading gas lines to accommodate higher BTU requirements, and installing proper venting systems.
Sacramento’s building codes require permits for water heater installations. We pull all necessary permits and ensure your installation passes inspection the first time.
Our service includes a comprehensive warranty on both the unit and installation work. If anything goes wrong, you’re covered. And because Tahoe Park homes often have unique plumbing configurations, we adapt each installation to work perfectly with your existing system.
Installation costs typically range from $3,000 to $5,500 for most Sacramento homes, depending on your current setup and the unit size you need. Homes requiring gas line upgrades or electrical work will be on the higher end.
The biggest cost factors are whether your existing gas line can handle the higher BTU requirements and if you need new venting. Most Tahoe Park homes built before 2000 need some gas line work.
Murray Plumbing provides upfront pricing after evaluating your specific situation. No hidden fees, no surprises after the work starts.
Most Sacramento families need a unit that produces 7-10 gallons per minute. A family of four typically needs 8 GPM to run two showers simultaneously without temperature drops.
Your home’s groundwater temperature affects sizing too. Sacramento’s average groundwater temperature is around 60°F, which means units need less energy to reach your desired hot water temperature compared to colder climates.
We calculate your exact needs based on your family size, number of bathrooms, and simultaneous hot water usage patterns. Getting the right size prevents performance issues and ensures you’re not overpaying for capacity you don’t need.
Tankless units typically last 20-25 years with proper maintenance, compared to 8-12 years for traditional tank water heaters. The longer lifespan often makes up for the higher upfront installation cost.
Sacramento’s relatively soft water helps extend equipment life. Hard water areas see more mineral buildup, but Tahoe Park’s water quality is generally favorable for tankless systems.
Annual maintenance involves flushing the system to remove any mineral deposits. We offer maintenance plans that keep your unit running efficiently and protect your warranty coverage.
Most tankless water heaters need electricity to operate their electronic ignition and control systems, so they won’t work during power outages. However, they restart automatically when power returns.
Some homeowners in Sacramento install small backup generators specifically for essential appliances like tankless water heaters. This ensures hot water availability during extended outages.
Unlike tank water heaters that store hot water, tankless units don’t provide any residual hot water once power goes out. But they also don’t waste energy keeping water hot when you’re not using it, which more than makes up for this limitation.
Sacramento requires licensed plumbers to install tankless water heaters because the work involves gas lines, electrical connections, and permits. DIY installation typically voids manufacturer warranties and creates safety risks.
Gas line work requires specific expertise to prevent leaks. Improper installation can cause carbon monoxide issues or even explosions. The permit and inspection process ensures everything meets current building codes.
Our installation includes all permits, proper gas line sizing, code-compliant venting, and warranty coverage. The peace of mind and professional results are worth the investment compared to potential DIY problems.
Annual descaling keeps your tankless unit running efficiently in Sacramento’s water conditions. This involves flushing the system with a descaling solution to remove mineral deposits that reduce performance over time.
You should also clean or replace the air filter quarterly and check venting connections annually. Sacramento’s dust and seasonal debris can affect air intake systems.
We offer maintenance plans that handle all required service automatically. Regular maintenance prevents costly repairs and keeps your unit operating at peak efficiency, maximizing your energy savings.
