You get hot water that never runs out, even when everyone’s showering at once. Your energy bills drop because you’re only heating water when you actually use it, not keeping a tank hot 24/7.
You stop worrying about your water heater failing during Colfax’s harsh winters. Mountain conditions are tough on plumbing systems, but a properly installed tankless unit handles temperature swings and elevation challenges that can stress older equipment.
The space in your utility room opens up. These units mount on the wall and take up a fraction of the space compared to bulky tank heaters that dominate closets and basements.
We bring over 24 years of residential and commercial plumbing experience to every tankless water heater installation in Colfax. We understand how elevation and temperature fluctuations affect water heating systems in mountain communities.
As a family-owned business, we keep overhead low and pass savings to customers through fair, transparent pricing. Our 5-star reputation comes from showing up when promised, doing the work right the first time, and charging exactly what we quote.
We’ve handled everything from emergency repairs during winter storms to complete bathroom remodels in older Colfax homes. When you need plumbing work that accounts for our unique mountain conditions, you’re getting technicians who’ve seen it all.
First, we assess your current setup and hot water needs. We’ll measure your space, check gas lines and electrical connections, and recommend the right size unit for your home’s demand patterns.
Next, we handle permits and code requirements. Many Colfax installations need gas line upgrades or venting modifications, especially in older homes. We take care of the paperwork and ensure everything meets current safety standards.
During installation, we remove your old unit and prep the area. This includes any necessary updates to gas supply, electrical connections, or venting systems. We mount the new tankless unit, connect all systems, and test everything thoroughly. You get a complete walkthrough of your new system plus disposal of the old equipment.

Colfax homes face unique challenges that make tankless water heaters particularly valuable. Our elevation affects gas appliance performance, and temperature swings stress traditional tank systems. Tankless units handle these conditions better and last 20-25 years versus 8-12 for tank heaters.
Energy savings matter more in mountain communities where heating costs run higher. Tankless systems use 24-34% less energy for typical households, translating to around $100 annual savings on utility bills. Over the unit’s lifespan, you’re looking at significant cost reductions.
Space constraints in mountain homes make wall-mounted tankless units ideal. You reclaim valuable storage space while getting endless hot water capacity. No more timing showers or running out of hot water during peak usage periods.
Installation costs vary based on your home’s existing setup and the unit size needed. Standard installations typically range from $2,500 to $4,500, including the unit and labor.
If your home needs gas line upgrades, electrical work, or venting modifications, costs increase. Many Colfax homes built before 2000 require some updates to handle modern tankless units safely. We provide upfront pricing after assessing your specific situation, so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.
The higher upfront cost pays off through energy savings and longer equipment life. Most homeowners see the investment return through lower utility bills and fewer replacement needs over time.
Yes, but proper sizing and installation are crucial at our elevation. Gas appliances can lose efficiency above 1,000 feet due to thinner air, but modern tankless units are designed to handle altitude variations when installed correctly.
We factor elevation into every installation, ensuring adequate gas supply and proper combustion air. The units we install are rated for mountain conditions and include altitude adjustments when necessary. This approach prevents the performance issues that can occur with improperly configured systems.
Our experience with Colfax’s specific conditions means your tankless system will deliver consistent performance year-round, even during temperature extremes that stress other water heating systems.
Most installations take 4-6 hours for a straightforward replacement. If we’re converting from a tank system or need to upgrade gas lines, electrical connections, or venting, plan on 6-8 hours.
The timeline depends on your home’s current setup and any code updates required. Older Colfax homes often need additional work to meet current safety standards, which extends installation time but ensures proper, safe operation.
We complete most installations in a single day. You’ll have hot water by evening, and we’ll walk you through operating your new system before we leave.
Sizing depends on your peak hot water demand, not storage capacity like tank heaters. We calculate how many fixtures might run simultaneously and size accordingly.
For most Colfax homes, a unit rated for 6-8 gallons per minute handles typical family needs. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms or high-demand appliances might need 9-11 GPM units. We measure your actual usage patterns rather than guessing.
Gas supply capacity also affects sizing. Some homes need gas line upgrades to support larger tankless units. We assess your entire system to recommend the right size that your home can properly support.
Yes, we handle all permit requirements and ensure installations meet current codes. This includes gas line work, electrical connections, and venting systems that must comply with local and state regulations.
Many Colfax installations require permits, especially when upgrading gas lines or modifying venting. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and handle any code compliance issues that arise during installation.
You don’t need to worry about paperwork or inspection scheduling. We manage the entire process and ensure your installation passes all required inspections before considering the job complete.
We warranty our installation workmanship, and the tankless unit includes manufacturer warranty coverage. Installation warranties typically cover our work for one year, while unit warranties range from 10-15 years depending on the brand.
If installation-related issues arise, we return at no charge to correct them. For unit problems, we help navigate manufacturer warranty claims and handle covered repairs when possible.
We also provide ongoing maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently. Regular maintenance prevents most problems and keeps manufacturer warranties valid throughout their coverage period.
