Picture this: you’re the last person to shower in your house, and the water is still perfectly hot. Your utility bills are 30-50% lower than they used to be. You’ve got that extra closet space back because there’s no bulky tank eating up room.
That’s life with a tankless water heater installation. No more timing showers around everyone else’s schedule. No more paying to heat 40-80 gallons of water that just sits there waiting.
In North Highlands, where energy costs keep climbing and space is precious, tankless water heaters aren’t just smart—they’re essential. You get instant hot water that flows for as long as you need it, whether that’s back-to-back showers or filling a large bathtub. The old days of rationing hot water? Gone.
We’ve been serving North Highlands and the greater Sacramento area for over two decades. We’re not the biggest plumbing company around, and that’s exactly why our customers choose us.
You get our direct attention. Our 4.7-star Google rating comes from 93 real customers who experienced our transparent pricing, quick response times, and professional service firsthand. Many found our final costs were actually less than the original estimate.
When your water heater fails at 7 PM on a Sunday, you need someone who answers the phone and shows up ready to work. That’s been our approach since day one—treating your North Highlands home like it’s our own and your emergency like it’s ours too.
We start with a free estimate at your North Highlands home. We’ll assess your current setup, calculate your household’s hot water demands, and determine the right tankless unit size for your needs. No pressure, no surprise fees—just straight answers about what you need and what it costs.
Installation typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on your home’s existing plumbing and gas lines. We handle any necessary upgrades to gas lines or electrical systems. Our team pulls permits when required and ensures everything meets North Highlands building codes.
During installation, we remove your old water heater, install the new tankless unit (usually wall-mounted to save space), connect all plumbing and gas lines, and test the system thoroughly. We walk you through the controls and maintenance basics before we leave. You’re getting hot water the same day, and we clean up completely—no mess left behind.

Our tankless water heater installation includes the unit, all necessary fittings and connections, gas line modifications if needed, and permit handling. We work with top brands like Navien, Rinnai, and Noritz—units designed to handle North Highlands’ hard water conditions and temperature variations.
For North Highlands homeowners, we often recommend gas tankless units for their higher flow rates and reliability during power outages. These systems work perfectly with the area’s existing natural gas infrastructure and provide the consistent performance larger families need.
Your installation comes with manufacturer warranties (typically 10-15 years on heat exchangers, 5 years on parts) plus our workmanship guarantee. We also provide ongoing maintenance services, including annual descaling that’s especially important in our area due to mineral buildup from local water conditions. Think of it as an insurance policy for your investment.
Most North Highlands homeowners see 30-50% reductions in water heating costs after switching to tankless. If you’re currently spending $100 monthly on water heating, you could save $30-50 per month with a tankless system.
The savings come from eliminating standby heat loss—traditional tanks constantly heat 40-80 gallons of water even when you’re not using any. Tankless units only heat water when you turn on a faucet or appliance. With California’s high energy costs, these savings add up quickly, often paying for the system within 8-12 years.
Your actual savings depend on your household’s hot water usage, current system efficiency, and local utility rates. We can calculate specific savings estimates during your free consultation based on your current bills and usage patterns.
Yes, when properly sized for your household. Unlike tank systems that can run out of hot water, tankless units provide continuous hot water as long as you don’t exceed their flow rate capacity.
A typical North Highlands family of four needs a unit with 8-10 gallons per minute (GPM) flow rate. This handles two showers running simultaneously, or one shower plus a dishwasher or washing machine. Larger families or homes with high simultaneous usage might need a larger unit or multiple units.
During our assessment, we calculate your peak demand by counting fixtures that might run simultaneously and their flow rates. We then recommend a unit with 20-30% more capacity than your calculated peak demand to ensure consistent performance during high-usage periods.
Tankless water heaters typically last 20+ years with proper maintenance, compared to 10-15 years for traditional tank units. This longer lifespan helps offset the higher upfront cost and provides better long-term value.
The key to longevity is annual maintenance, especially descaling to remove mineral buildup from North Highlands’ hard water. We recommend professional maintenance every 12 months, which includes flushing the system, cleaning the air filter, and checking all connections and venting.
With regular maintenance, many tankless units exceed their expected lifespan. The heat exchanger (the most expensive component) typically carries a 10-15 year warranty, while other parts are covered for 5 years. Even after the warranty period, replacement parts are usually available and cost-effective compared to full system replacement.
Converting to tankless typically requires gas line upgrades, new venting, and electrical connections. Most North Highlands homes built before 1990 need gas line modifications because tankless units require higher gas input than traditional tanks.
We handle all necessary upgrades, including upsizing gas lines from 1/2″ to 3/4″ diameter, installing new Category III stainless steel venting, and adding 120V electrical service for the unit’s controls and fan. If your current water heater is in a garage or basement, we might relocate the tankless unit to an exterior wall for easier venting.
The conversion process includes removing your old tank, any necessary plumbing modifications, installing the new unit and all connections, testing for leaks and proper operation, and final inspection. We pull permits when required and ensure all work meets current North Highlands building codes. Most conversions complete in one day.
Yes, California offers several rebate programs for energy-efficient water heaters. SMUD (Sacramento Municipal Utility District) provides rebates up to $200 for qualifying Energy Star-certified tankless units. Additional federal tax credits may also apply.
Some utility companies offer special promotions throughout the year, and there are often manufacturer rebates available on top of utility incentives. We stay current on all available programs and help you apply for any rebates you qualify for.
The qualification requirements typically include Energy Star certification, professional installation, and replacing an existing tank-style water heater. We handle the paperwork and ensure your installation meets all rebate requirements. These incentives can reduce your net cost by several hundred dollars, making the upgrade even more attractive.
Tankless units are about the size of a large suitcase and mount on walls, freeing up 10-16 square feet of floor space that traditional tanks occupy. For North Highlands homes where every square foot counts, this space savings is significant.
Most tankless units measure roughly 27″ tall, 18″ wide, and 10″ deep. They can mount on interior or exterior walls, in utility rooms, closets, or even outside with proper weather protection. This flexibility lets us find the optimal location for efficiency and convenience.
The space you gain can be repurposed for storage, laundry facilities, or simply open up cramped utility areas. Many homeowners are surprised by how much more functional their utility spaces become after removing a bulky tank and replacing it with a compact wall-mounted unit.
