Your mornings just got better. No more cold showers when someone else used all the hot water. No more waiting for the tank to refill before you can do laundry. With a professionally installed tankless water heater, you get hot water the instant you turn on the tap – and it never runs out.
You’ll also see the difference in your monthly energy bills. Tankless systems use up to 34% less energy than traditional tank water heaters because they only heat water when you need it. No more paying to keep 40-80 gallons of water hot around the clock.
And here’s something most people don’t think about until they need the space – tankless units are about the size of a suitcase and mount on your wall. That means you get your utility room back for storage, or you can finally convert that closet into something useful.
We’ve been solving water heater problems for families like yours since before your grandparents were born. We’re talking five generations of hands-on experience, passed down from grandfather to grandson, with one simple mission – fix it right the first time.
Our 4.7-star Google rating and perfect 5-star reputation didn’t happen by accident. We show up when we say we will, we quote you a fair price upfront, and that’s exactly what you pay. No surprise fees, no diagnostic charges, no runaround.
Campus Commons residents know they can count on us 24/7, whether it’s an emergency repair or a planned upgrade. We understand this area’s unique challenges – from the hard water that clogs up systems to the California building codes that keep changing.
First, we come out and assess your current setup. We need to see your existing plumbing, electrical capacity, and gas lines to determine the best tankless solution for your home. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation – your family’s hot water usage, your home’s layout, and California’s strict codes all factor into the equation.
Next, we handle all the permits and code compliance work. California requires permits for water heater installations, and we take care of that paperwork so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy. We also ensure everything meets current Title 24 energy efficiency requirements and local building standards.
Installation day means removing your old unit, upgrading any necessary connections, and mounting your new tankless system. Depending on your situation, this might involve electrical work, gas line modifications, or venting updates. We clean up completely and walk you through how your new system works before we leave.

Campus Commons sits in one of California’s most energy-conscious regions, where utility costs keep climbing and environmental responsibility matters. Tankless water heaters align perfectly with both priorities. You’ll cut your water heating costs by up to 34%, and you’ll dramatically reduce your carbon footprint.
Space is at a premium in many Campus Commons homes, especially in older neighborhoods where utility rooms are cramped. Traditional tank water heaters eat up 16 square feet of floor space. A tankless unit mounts on the wall and takes up about as much room as a medicine cabinet.
California’s building codes increasingly favor high-efficiency systems, and many local utility companies offer substantial rebates for tankless installations. We help you navigate these incentive programs to offset your upfront investment. Plus, homes with tankless systems sell 43 days faster than those with traditional tank water heaters – something worth considering in today’s competitive real estate market.
Installation costs typically range from $2,500 to $3,500 for most Campus Commons homes, depending on whether you choose electric or gas and what modifications your home needs. Electric units generally cost less upfront but may require electrical panel upgrades. Gas units cost more initially but often provide better long-term savings.
The total price includes the unit itself, professional installation, permits, and any necessary upgrades to meet California’s current codes. We provide transparent, upfront pricing – no surprise fees or diagnostic charges. Many homeowners recover their investment through energy savings within 4-6 years, and California rebate programs can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
Absolutely. This is the most common concern we hear, and it’s based on outdated information. Modern tankless systems are designed to provide continuous hot water flow, not just a limited tank’s worth. A properly sized unit can supply hot water to multiple fixtures simultaneously without any drop in temperature or pressure.
We size your system based on your family’s actual usage patterns – how many showers, appliances, and faucets you typically use at the same time. Most Campus Commons families find that a whole-house tankless system easily handles their peak demand periods, like busy mornings when everyone’s getting ready. The key is professional sizing and installation, which is why we do a thorough assessment before recommending a specific unit.
Tankless systems typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, compared to 10-15 years for traditional tank water heaters. The difference comes down to how they’re built and how they operate. Tank systems store water constantly, which leads to corrosion and mineral buildup inside the tank. Tankless units only heat water as it flows through, so there’s less wear and tear on the system.
That said, longevity depends heavily on maintenance, especially here in Campus Commons where hard water can be an issue. We recommend annual descaling to prevent mineral buildup, which can extend your system’s life and maintain peak efficiency. Many of our customers see 20+ years from their tankless systems with regular care.
Yes, California requires permits for all water heater installations and replacements to ensure safety and code compliance. The good news is that we handle all the permit paperwork as part of our service – you don’t need to navigate city offices or building departments.
The permit process ensures your installation meets current safety standards, energy efficiency requirements, and local building codes. This protects you, your family, and your home’s value. Skipping permits can create problems when you sell your home or file insurance claims. We’re licensed contractors who know exactly what’s required in Campus Commons and surrounding areas.
Tankless systems need less frequent maintenance than traditional tanks, but the maintenance they do need is crucial for longevity and efficiency. The main requirement is annual descaling to remove mineral deposits, especially important here in Campus Commons due to our hard water conditions.
Professional descaling involves flushing the system with a specialized solution that dissolves mineral buildup without damaging internal components. This typically costs $150-450 but prevents expensive repairs and maintains peak efficiency. You should also check and clean exterior air filters monthly and ensure proper clearance around vents. We offer maintenance plans that take care of all this for you, so you never have to worry about scheduling or remembering what needs to be done.
While technically possible, DIY installation isn’t recommended and often isn’t legal in California. Tankless installation involves plumbing, electrical work, and sometimes gas line modifications – all of which require specific expertise and licensing. Mistakes can lead to gas leaks, electrical hazards, or water damage.
More importantly, California requires licensed professionals to pull permits for water heater installations. DIY work typically voids manufacturer warranties and can create liability issues with your homeowner’s insurance. Professional installation ensures everything meets current codes, passes inspection, and operates safely. Given the complexity and safety considerations, the cost of professional installation is a smart investment in your family’s safety and your system’s longevity.
