First, our technician evaluates your current setup and confirms the best location for your new tankless unit. This includes checking gas lines, electrical connections, and venting requirements specific to your home.
Next comes removing your old water heater and preparing the installation area. This might involve upgrading gas lines or electrical connections to handle the tankless unit’s requirements – something many homeowners don’t realize until it’s too late.
The new unit gets mounted, connected, and thoroughly tested. Our technician walks you through operation and maintenance, ensuring you understand how to get the most from your investment. The entire process typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on your home’s specific requirements.

Your tankless water heater installation includes complete removal of your old unit, proper disposal, and full installation of the new system. This covers all necessary connections, venting, and safety testing to ensure everything operates correctly.
Mather homes often require gas line upgrades to accommodate tankless units’ higher BTU requirements. We handle these modifications as part of the installation, ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency from day one.
You also receive a thorough walkthrough of your new system’s operation, maintenance requirements, and warranty information. Many Mather homeowners are surprised by how simple tankless units are to maintain compared to traditional tank systems.
Installation costs in Mather typically range from $2,500 to $4,500, depending on your home’s specific requirements. Homes that need gas line upgrades or electrical modifications will be on the higher end of this range.
The biggest cost variables are whether your existing gas line can handle the increased BTU requirements and if your electrical system needs updates for the unit’s controls. We provide upfront estimates after evaluating your specific situation.
Most homeowners recover their investment within 3-5 years through energy savings, especially with California’s high utility rates. The units also last 20+ years compared to 8-12 for traditional tanks, making them a solid long-term investment.
Tankless units are sized based on flow rate (gallons per minute) and temperature rise needed, not family size. A properly sized unit provides unlimited hot water for any household.
For most Mather homes, a unit producing 6-8 GPM handles simultaneous showers, dishwasher, and washing machine use without issues. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms might need 9-11 GPM units or multiple smaller units.
The key is proper sizing during installation. We calculate your home’s peak demand by counting fixtures and typical usage patterns, ensuring you get a unit that meets your actual needs, not just a generic recommendation.
Most installations take 4-6 hours, but this varies significantly based on your home’s existing setup. Simple replacements where gas lines and electrical connections are adequate can be completed in 3-4 hours.
Homes requiring gas line upgrades, electrical modifications, or new venting installations may take 6-8 hours or require a second day. We evaluate these requirements during the initial assessment to provide accurate time estimates.
The good news is you’re not without hot water for long. Our technicians work efficiently to minimize disruption, and many installations are completed in a single day, leaving you with unlimited hot water by evening.
Yes, tankless units typically reduce water heating costs by 20-40% compared to traditional tank systems. The savings come from only heating water when you use it, eliminating standby heat loss from keeping a tank hot 24/7.
In Mather’s climate, where groundwater temperatures average 60-65°F year-round, tankless units operate efficiently. Your actual savings depend on usage patterns, but most families see $200-400 annual reductions in energy costs.
California’s tiered utility rates make these savings even more significant. Since water heating accounts for 15-20% of most home energy use, switching to tankless can drop you into lower utility rate tiers, compounding your monthly savings.
Tankless units require annual descaling to remove mineral buildup, especially important in areas with hard water. This involves flushing the system with a descaling solution, a process that takes about an hour.
You should also clean the inlet filter monthly, which takes just a few minutes. Unlike tank systems that need anode rod replacements and regular flushing, tankless maintenance is minimal and straightforward.
We offer maintenance plans that include annual descaling and system inspections. Regular maintenance extends unit life and maintains efficiency, ensuring you continue getting maximum energy savings and performance.
Tankless installation requires gas line work, electrical connections, and proper venting – all requiring licensed professionals in California. DIY installation voids warranties and creates serious safety risks.
Gas line modifications must meet strict codes, and improper installation can cause carbon monoxide leaks or gas hazards. Electrical work requires permits and inspections, and incorrect venting can create backdraft conditions.
Professional installation also ensures proper sizing and setup for your specific home. Our technicians handle permits, inspections, and warranty registration, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment from day one.
