Your morning routine becomes predictable again. No more timing showers around everyone else’s schedule or dealing with that last person who gets stuck with cold water.
Your energy bills drop. Tankless systems heat water only when you need it, cutting your water heating costs by 20-30% compared to traditional tank systems that constantly reheat stored water.
You get your storage space back. These compact units mount on the wall and free up floor space that bulky tank heaters typically consume. That’s room for storage, workspace, or just easier access around your water heater area.
We’ve been serving Hood and surrounding areas with professional plumbing services that residents actually recommend to their neighbors. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews reflects what matters most – we show up on time, do the work right, and charge fair prices.
We’re available 24/7 because plumbing problems don’t wait for business hours. When you call us for tankless water heater installation, you’re working with plumbers who understand Hood’s unique housing stock and water conditions.
Our customers often tell us the final cost came in lower than our initial estimate. That’s because we price honestly upfront and look for ways to save you money, not add unnecessary charges.
We start with a site assessment to determine the best location and sizing for your specific hot water needs. This includes checking your existing gas lines, electrical connections, and venting requirements to ensure everything meets code.
Next, we remove your old water heater and prepare the installation area. For tankless units, this typically means mounting brackets on the wall and running new venting if needed. We handle all permits and inspections required in Hood.
The new unit gets connected to your gas, water, and electrical lines, then thoroughly tested to ensure proper operation and safety. We walk you through the controls and maintenance requirements before considering the job complete.
Most installations take 4-6 hours depending on your home’s setup. You’ll have hot water the same day, and we clean up completely before we leave.

Your installation includes proper sizing calculation based on your household’s peak hot water demand. We don’t guess – we calculate your actual needs to ensure you never run out of hot water during peak usage times.
All necessary permits and inspections are handled by us. Hood requires specific permits for gas appliance installations, and we manage that entire process so you don’t have to deal with city offices or scheduling inspectors.
We provide a complete walkthrough of your new system’s operation and maintenance requirements. Tankless units need annual descaling in Hood’s hard water conditions, and we’ll show you exactly what to watch for and when to call us for service.
Your installation comes with manufacturer warranty coverage plus our service guarantee. If something isn’t working right, we come back and make it right at no additional charge.
Installation costs in Hood typically range from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on your home’s existing setup and the unit size you need. Homes requiring new gas lines, electrical work, or significant venting modifications will be on the higher end.
The biggest cost variables are whether your current gas line can handle the higher BTU requirements of tankless units and if we need to install new venting. Most Hood homes built before 1990 need at least some gas line upgrades.
We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront. No surprises, no hidden fees, and often our final bill comes in lower than the estimate because we look for ways to work efficiently and save you money.
Yes, but Hood’s hard water means your tankless unit will need annual descaling to maintain efficiency and prevent damage. Hard water creates mineral buildup inside the heat exchanger, which reduces performance and can cause premature failure if ignored.
We recommend annual professional descaling service, which takes about an hour and costs much less than replacing a damaged unit. Some homeowners handle this maintenance themselves using descaling kits, but most prefer having us do it during regular service visits.
The good news is that tankless units are actually easier to maintain than traditional tanks in hard water areas. Instead of replacing an entire corroded tank, you’re just cleaning mineral deposits from the heat exchanger – much simpler and less expensive long-term.
Most installations in Hood take 4-6 hours from start to finish. Straightforward replacements where existing gas lines and venting work for the new unit can be completed in 4 hours. More complex installations requiring gas line upgrades or new venting take closer to 6 hours.
The timeline depends mainly on your home’s current setup. If you’re replacing an old tank water heater, we need to install wall mounting brackets, potentially upgrade gas lines, and install new venting since tankless units vent differently than tank heaters.
We schedule installations to complete everything in one day whenever possible. You’ll be without hot water for a few hours during the switchover, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your household routine.
Sizing depends on your peak hot water demand, not your home’s square footage. We calculate this by determining how many hot water fixtures might run simultaneously and their flow rates. Most Hood families need units rated between 140,000 and 180,000 BTUs.
For example, if you might have two showers, a dishwasher, and washing machine running at the same time, we add up those flow rates to determine the minimum unit capacity. It’s better to slightly oversize than risk running out of hot water during peak demand.
We handle all sizing calculations during our initial assessment. This isn’t guesswork – we use your actual usage patterns and fixture specifications to recommend the right unit for your household’s needs.
For most Hood homeowners, yes. The combination of 20-30% lower energy costs, 20+ year lifespan, and space savings typically justify the higher upfront cost within 6-8 years. After that, you’re saving money every month compared to traditional tank systems.
The energy savings are particularly significant in Hood because you’re not constantly reheating 40-50 gallons of stored water. Tankless units only heat water when you turn on a hot water tap, eliminating standby energy losses that account for 10-20% of most water heating costs.
Factor in that you’ll likely replace a traditional water heater 2-3 times during a tankless unit’s lifespan, and the long-term economics strongly favor tankless systems for most households.
Usually yes, but the installation will involve some modifications since tankless units mount on walls and have different venting requirements than tank water heaters. We can typically use the same general location and existing water connections.
The main changes involve installing wall mounting brackets, potentially upgrading gas lines to handle higher BTU requirements, and installing new venting. Tankless units use different venting materials and configurations than traditional tank heaters.
We assess your current setup during the estimate process and explain exactly what modifications are needed. Most installations can use the same basic location as your old tank, just with the new unit mounted on the wall instead of sitting on the floor.
