Sacramento’s hard water conditions make tankless units particularly valuable since they don’t store water that can accumulate mineral buildup over years. Unlike traditional tanks that need regular flushing to remove sediment, tankless systems heat fresh water on demand.
Local utility companies including SMUD and PG&E offer rebates up to $800 on qualifying energy-efficient units, making the upgrade more affordable. With approximately 20% of your home’s energy going to water heating, the switch to tankless can save the average Sacramento homeowner over $100 annually.
The compact design works especially well in South Sacramento’s mix of older and newer homes where space is often at a premium. These units last up to 20 years compared to traditional tanks that typically need replacement after 10 years, providing long-term value for homeowners planning to stay in their homes.
Installation costs vary based on your home’s current setup, the unit size needed, and whether you’re switching from gas to electric or vice versa. Most installations range from $2,500 to $4,500 including the unit and professional installation.
The good news is that local rebates can significantly reduce your upfront cost. SMUD and PG&E offer rebates up to $800 on qualifying energy-efficient models. We stay current on all available rebate programs and help you maximize your savings.
Remember that while the initial investment is higher than replacing a traditional tank, you’ll save over $100 annually on energy costs, and the unit will last twice as long as a conventional water heater.
Yes, tankless water heaters actually handle hard water better than traditional tanks in many ways. Since they don’t store water, there’s no opportunity for mineral buildup to accumulate in a tank over years.
However, hard water does require more frequent maintenance to keep the heat exchanger clean and efficient. We recommend annual maintenance in South Sacramento’s hard water areas, which involves flushing the system to remove any mineral deposits.
This maintenance is still less intensive than what traditional tanks require, and it helps maintain peak efficiency and extends the unit’s 20-year lifespan. The investment in proper maintenance pays for itself through consistent performance and energy savings.
Most tankless water heater installations take between 3-6 hours, depending on your specific situation. If you’re replacing an existing traditional tank, the process includes removing the old unit, which adds some time.
The installation involves mounting the new unit on the wall, connecting it to your gas line or electrical system, and integrating it with your existing plumbing. More complex installations might require upgrading gas lines or electrical service, which could extend the timeline.
We provide a clear timeline during the initial consultation so you know exactly what to expect. We arrive with everything needed to complete the job in one visit, and we test the entire system thoroughly before considering the work complete.
The right size depends on your peak hot water demand, which means calculating how much hot water you use simultaneously during your busiest times. For example, if someone’s showering while the dishwasher runs and someone else is washing hands, you need a unit that can handle all three demands at once.
Most South Sacramento homes need units that can deliver 6-10 gallons per minute. Smaller homes or those with lower demand might need only 4-6 GPM, while larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms often require 8-12 GPM units.
We evaluate your specific usage patterns and home setup during the consultation. We consider factors like your home’s plumbing layout, the number of bathrooms, and your family’s hot water habits to recommend the right size unit that won’t leave you short on hot water.
Tankless water heaters require minimal maintenance compared to traditional tanks, but some routine care keeps them running efficiently for their full 20-year lifespan. The main maintenance involves annual flushing to remove mineral deposits, especially important in South Sacramento’s hard water areas.
This maintenance is straightforward and involves running a descaling solution through the system to clean the heat exchanger. Many homeowners can handle basic maintenance themselves, though professional service ensures it’s done correctly and maintains warranty coverage.
We offer maintenance packages that include annual service calls, system inspections, and any necessary adjustments. This proactive approach prevents small issues from becoming expensive repairs and keeps your energy savings consistent throughout the unit’s lifetime.
While some experienced DIYers might be tempted to tackle this project, tankless water heater installation requires expertise in plumbing, gas lines, and electrical work. Mistakes during installation can be dangerous and expensive, potentially voiding your warranty and creating safety hazards.
Professional installation ensures proper sizing, correct gas line connections, appropriate venting, and compliance with local codes. In South Sacramento, permits are often required, and inspections must pass before the system can be legally operated.
Our licensed technicians handle all aspects of installation, from permits to final inspection. We guarantee our work, so if any issues arise related to the installation, we return to fix them at no additional cost. This peace of mind is worth the investment in professional installation.
