Your mornings just got better. No more cold showers when everyone’s getting ready. No more waiting for the tank to heat up again.
A properly installed tankless water heater gives you hot water on demand, every time you turn the handle. You’ll see the difference on your energy bill too – most homeowners in Dollar Point save 20-30% on their water heating costs.
The space savings alone changes how you use your utility room. These units mount on the wall and free up floor space you didn’t even realize you were losing to that bulky tank.
We’ve been serving Dollar Point and the Lake Tahoe area with honest plumbing work that actually lasts. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews tells you what our customers already know – we show up on time, do the work right, and charge exactly what we quote.
Living in Dollar Point means dealing with seasonal challenges and aging plumbing systems. We understand the unique demands of mountain living and the importance of reliable hot water year-round.
When you call us, you get a real person who answers. When we schedule your installation, we show up. It’s that simple.
First, we assess your current setup and water usage needs. Every home is different, and the right tankless unit depends on your specific situation – how many bathrooms, your peak usage times, and your existing gas or electrical capacity.
Next, we handle all the technical work. This includes running new gas lines or upgrading electrical service if needed, installing proper venting, and ensuring everything meets local codes. We also flush your water lines to remove any debris that could affect your new system.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through the controls. You’ll know exactly how your new system works and what to expect. Most installations take 4-6 hours, and you’ll have hot water the same day.

Your installation includes everything needed for a complete, code-compliant system. We handle permits, gas line modifications, electrical upgrades, proper venting installation, and water line connections. You don’t coordinate with multiple contractors – we manage the entire process.
Dollar Point’s mountain climate requires systems that can handle temperature fluctuations and seasonal demands. We select units rated for high-altitude performance and install them with proper freeze protection. Your system will work reliably whether you’re here year-round or seasonally.
We also include a thorough system flush and water quality test. Mountain water can be hard or contain minerals that affect performance, so we make sure your new tankless system starts with clean lines and optimal conditions.
Installation costs typically range from $3,500 to $6,500 depending on your current setup and the unit size you need. The biggest variables are whether you need gas line upgrades or electrical service changes.
Most Dollar Point homes built before 2000 need some modifications to support tankless systems. We provide a detailed estimate after assessing your specific situation, and our final price often comes in lower than the initial quote.
The upfront investment pays back through energy savings. Most homeowners see their water heating costs drop by 20-30%, which adds up to $200-400 annually in this area.
Most installations take 4-6 hours for a straightforward replacement. If you need gas line work or electrical upgrades, plan for a full day.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine. You’ll have hot water back the same day in most cases. For complex installations requiring permits or major modifications, we may need to split the work across two days.
Weather can affect timeline during winter months in Dollar Point, but we plan around conditions and communicate any delays upfront. Our goal is getting your hot water restored quickly and safely.
Size depends on your peak hot water demand, not your home’s square footage. We calculate this based on how many fixtures might run simultaneously – showers, dishwasher, washing machine.
Most 2-3 bathroom homes in Dollar Point need units that can handle 6-8 gallons per minute. Larger homes or those with high-flow fixtures may need 9-11 GPM units. We measure your actual flow rates during the assessment.
Mountain altitude affects performance, so we factor in Dollar Point’s elevation when sizing your system. A unit that works at sea level may underperform at 6,200 feet without proper sizing adjustments.
Gas tankless units need electricity to operate their electronic controls and fans, so they won’t work during outages. This is true for all modern tankless systems, regardless of brand.
Some homeowners in Dollar Point install backup generators or battery systems to keep essential appliances running. If power outages are frequent in your area, we can discuss backup power options during your consultation.
The good news is most outages are brief, and tankless units restart automatically when power returns. You don’t lose a tank full of hot water like with traditional systems, so recovery is immediate.
Annual maintenance keeps your system running efficiently and extends its lifespan. This involves flushing the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup and checking all connections.
Dollar Point’s mountain water can be harder than average, which means more frequent descaling may be needed. We test your water quality during installation and recommend a maintenance schedule based on your specific conditions.
Most manufacturers require annual service to maintain warranty coverage. We offer maintenance plans that handle this automatically and catch small issues before they become expensive repairs.
Tankless installation requires gas line work, electrical connections, and proper venting – all of which need permits and professional expertise in Dollar Point. DIY installation typically voids manufacturer warranties and may violate local codes.
The complexity goes beyond basic plumbing. Gas pressure needs precise adjustment, electrical connections must handle high amperage loads, and venting requires specific clearances for safety. Mistakes can be dangerous and expensive to fix.
Professional installation ensures your system works safely and efficiently from day one. We handle permits, inspections, and warranty registration so you’re fully protected and compliant with local requirements.
