Hear from Our Customers
Your monthly energy bills drop by $100-200 per year. No more cold showers when multiple people need hot water. No more waiting for a tank to reheat.
You get unlimited hot water exactly when you need it. Your new tankless system heats water instantly as it flows through, so you never run out during peak morning routines or evening dishwashing.
The space you save is real too. These compact units mount on walls, freeing up floor space in utility rooms, basements, or garages. Your home value increases – properties with tankless systems sell 43 days faster than those with traditional tanks.
We’ve been serving Pocket and the greater Sacramento area with professional plumbing services. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews reflects our commitment to quality work and customer satisfaction.
We understand California’s Title 24 energy codes and local requirements. When you call us, you get transparent pricing – many customers tell us their final cost came in under our original estimate.
Our 24/7 emergency service means you’re never stuck without hot water. We show up on time, work professionally, and explain everything clearly so you understand exactly what you’re getting.
First, we assess your home’s current setup and hot water needs. We check your electrical panel, gas lines, and existing plumbing to determine the best tankless solution for your situation.
Next, we handle any necessary upgrades to electrical or gas systems. California codes require specific venting and safety measures, which we install correctly the first time. We remove your old tank system and properly dispose of it.
Then we install your new tankless unit, test all connections, and walk you through the system’s operation. You’ll know how to adjust temperature settings and understand your warranty coverage before we leave your home.

Your tankless water heater installation includes all necessary permits, code compliance verification, and manufacturer warranty registration. We handle gas line modifications, electrical upgrades, and proper venting systems required by Sacramento County regulations.
Pocket homeowners benefit from our local knowledge of common installation challenges in older homes. We often work with homes built in the 1970s and 1980s that need electrical panel upgrades to support tankless systems.
We stock major brands like Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem, so you get options that fit your budget and hot water demands. Each installation includes a full system test, temperature calibration, and maintenance schedule recommendations to keep your unit running efficiently for decades.
Installation costs typically range from $2,500 to $4,500 depending on your home’s current setup and the unit you choose. Electric tankless systems generally cost less upfront, while gas units may require additional venting work.
The biggest variables are electrical or gas line upgrades. Older Pocket homes often need electrical panel upgrades to handle tankless units’ power requirements. We provide detailed estimates that break down equipment, labor, permits, and any necessary upgrades.
Many customers qualify for federal tax credits up to $2,000 and local utility rebates. We help you understand available incentives and handle rebate paperwork to maximize your savings.
Gas tankless units provide higher flow rates and work well for larger families with high hot water demands. They heat water faster and typically cost less to operate in areas with lower natural gas prices.
Electric tankless systems are easier to install, don’t require venting, and work perfectly for smaller homes or point-of-use applications. California’s push toward electrification makes electric units increasingly attractive, especially with available rebates.
Your home’s existing infrastructure often determines the best choice. We evaluate your electrical capacity, gas line size, and hot water usage patterns to recommend the most cost-effective option for your situation.
Most installations take 4-8 hours depending on your home’s current setup. Simple replacements where electrical and gas connections already meet requirements can be completed in half a day.
Complex installations requiring electrical panel upgrades, new gas lines, or venting modifications may take a full day or require a second visit. We coordinate any electrical work with licensed electricians to ensure code compliance.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your routine. You’ll have hot water restored the same day in most cases, and we test everything thoroughly before considering the job complete.
Size depends on your peak hot water demand, not storage capacity like traditional tanks. We calculate how many fixtures might run simultaneously – showers, dishwashers, washing machines – to determine required flow rate.
A typical Pocket family needs 6-8 gallons per minute capacity. Larger homes with multiple bathrooms or high-end appliances may need 10+ GPM units or multiple smaller units installed strategically throughout the house.
Water temperature matters too. Sacramento’s groundwater temperature affects how much heating capacity you need. We factor in seasonal temperature variations to ensure consistent performance year-round.
Electric tankless units require electricity to operate, so they won’t provide hot water during outages. However, they resume normal operation immediately when power returns, unlike tank systems that need time to reheat stored water.
Gas tankless units with electronic ignition also need electricity for controls and fans. Some models offer battery backup options, but most rely on grid power for safe operation and proper venting.
For emergency preparedness, many Pocket homeowners appreciate that tankless systems don’t waste energy maintaining hot water temperature during extended outages like traditional tanks do.
Quality tankless units typically last 20+ years with proper maintenance, nearly twice as long as traditional tank water heaters. The lack of stored water eliminates corrosion issues that plague tank systems.
Annual maintenance extends lifespan significantly. Sacramento’s hard water requires periodic descaling to prevent mineral buildup in heat exchangers. We recommend professional service every 1-2 years depending on water quality.
Manufacturer warranties often reflect this longevity – many tankless units come with 10-15 year warranties compared to 6-8 years for tank systems. The longer lifespan helps offset higher upfront installation costs through reduced replacement frequency.
