Your morning shower doesn’t get cut short because someone else used the hot water first. You’re not waiting around for the tank to heat up again between loads of laundry or dishes.
Your energy bills drop because you’re only heating water when you actually need it, not keeping 40-50 gallons hot around the clock. The bulky tank that took up half your utility room is gone, replaced by a compact unit mounted on the wall.
When friends visit for the holidays and everyone needs showers, there’s still hot water for the last person. No more strategic scheduling or rushed showers to beat the hot water shortage.
We’ve built our reputation on quick response times and transparent pricing in River, CA. With a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews, we’ve earned trust by showing up on time and doing exactly what we say we’ll do.
We offer 24/7 emergency service because water heater problems don’t wait for business hours. Customers consistently mention that our final costs often come in under the original estimate, not over it.
Our approach is straightforward: assess your home’s hot water needs, recommend the right tankless system, and install it properly the first time.
First, we evaluate your current setup and hot water usage patterns to size the right tankless unit for your home. We’ll check your gas line capacity and electrical requirements since tankless systems have different needs than traditional tanks.
Next, we remove your old tank system and prepare the installation area. This includes running new gas lines or upgrading electrical connections if needed, plus installing proper venting for gas units.
Then we mount your new tankless unit on the wall and connect all the plumbing, gas, and electrical components. We test the system thoroughly, adjust the temperature settings, and walk you through the basic controls and maintenance requirements.

Your installation includes removal and disposal of your old tank system, plus all necessary permits and inspections required by River, CA codes. We handle the gas line modifications, electrical upgrades, and proper venting installation.
River’s hard water conditions mean we also include water quality assessment and recommend appropriate filtration if needed to protect your investment. California’s energy efficiency standards favor tankless systems, and we ensure your installation meets all state requirements for potential rebates.
You get a complete walkthrough of your new system’s operation, maintenance schedule, and warranty information. We also provide 24/7 emergency service coverage because we know how important reliable hot water is to your daily routine.
Installation costs typically range from $3,500 to $7,000 depending on your home’s current setup and the unit size needed. Homes requiring gas line upgrades or electrical modifications will be on the higher end of that range.
The biggest cost factors are whether you need new gas lines run to accommodate the higher BTU requirements of tankless units, and if your electrical panel needs upgrading for electric models. Most River, CA homes built before 2000 need some modifications.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, and our estimates often come in under the final cost rather than over. Factor in the 15-20 year lifespan compared to 8-12 years for traditional tanks, plus the energy savings, and most homeowners see positive returns within 6-8 years.
Most homes can accommodate tankless systems, but some modifications are usually needed. The water supply lines typically don’t require changes, but gas lines almost always need upgrading since tankless units require higher gas flow rates than traditional tanks.
For electric tankless units, you’ll likely need electrical panel upgrades since these systems draw significant power during operation. The good news is that once installed, tankless systems put less stress on your plumbing since they don’t have the pressure fluctuations of tank systems.
We evaluate your specific setup during our initial assessment and provide a detailed breakdown of any necessary modifications. Most installations in River, CA homes are straightforward, though older homes may need more extensive gas line work.
Most installations take 4-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, but can extend to 1-2 days if significant gas line or electrical work is required. We typically schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
The timeline depends mainly on whether your home needs gas line upgrades, electrical modifications, or new venting installation. Homes with existing tankless-ready infrastructure can often be completed in half a day.
We coordinate permit inspections as needed and ensure everything is tested and operational before we consider the job complete. You’ll have hot water the same day in most cases, though we recommend waiting a few hours after installation before heavy usage to ensure everything is properly settled.
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 – like a shower running while the dishwasher operates.
Most 2-3 bedroom homes in River, CA need units rated for 6-8 gallons per minute, while larger homes with multiple bathrooms often require 9-11 GPM units. Homes with high-flow showerheads or large soaking tubs need higher capacity systems.
We measure your current usage patterns and test your home’s water pressure during our assessment. This ensures you get a unit that delivers consistent hot water even during peak demand times, without over-sizing and wasting money on unnecessary capacity.
Yes, but it’s minimal compared to traditional tanks. The main requirement is annual descaling to remove mineral buildup, especially important in River, CA due to our hard water conditions. This involves flushing the system with a descaling solution.
You should also clean the air intake filter every few months and check the venting system annually for obstructions. Unlike tank systems, you don’t need to drain and flush the entire unit or replace anode rods.
We provide a maintenance schedule with every installation and offer annual service packages to handle the descaling and system checks. Proper maintenance extends the 15-20 year lifespan and maintains peak efficiency, protecting your investment and keeping energy costs low.
Most homeowners see 20-30% reductions in water heating costs, though savings vary based on usage patterns and your current system’s efficiency. The biggest savings come from eliminating standby heat loss – the energy wasted keeping 40-50 gallons hot 24/7.
Families with inconsistent hot water usage patterns see the largest savings, while homes with constant, steady usage see more modest reductions. California’s tiered utility rates mean the efficiency gains translate to meaningful monthly savings.
Your actual savings depend on your current system’s age and efficiency, local utility rates, and usage patterns. We can estimate your potential savings based on your current bills and usage during our initial consultation, giving you realistic expectations for payback timeframes.
