You get unlimited hot water whenever you need it. No more cold showers when multiple people need hot water at once. No more waiting for a tank to refill.
Your energy bills drop significantly. Tankless systems only heat water when you use it, saving you over $100 annually compared to traditional tank heaters. That’s real money back in your pocket every month.
You reclaim valuable space in your home. These compact units mount on walls and take up a fraction of the space that bulky tank systems require.
We’ve served Shingle Springs homeowners with reliable plumbing solutions for years. We understand the unique challenges that El Dorado County’s hard water creates for tankless systems.
Hard water accelerates mineral buildup and scaling, which can damage components and reduce efficiency. We know exactly how to install and maintain tankless units in these conditions to ensure maximum performance and longevity.
Our team responds quickly when you need us. We show up on time, explain everything clearly, and deliver transparent pricing that often comes in under our initial estimates.
We start with a thorough assessment of your home’s hot water needs, existing plumbing, and electrical or gas connections. This tells us exactly what size unit you need and what modifications might be required.
Next, we handle all the technical work. This includes upgrading gas lines or electrical connections if needed, installing proper venting, and mounting the unit in the optimal location. Tankless installation is more complex than traditional tanks, but we have the experience to handle every detail correctly.
Finally, we test everything thoroughly and walk you through the system’s operation. We explain maintenance requirements specific to Shingle Springs’ hard water conditions and provide guidance on maximizing your unit’s efficiency and lifespan.
Ready to get started?
Your installation includes professional sizing, proper mounting, all necessary connections, and thorough testing. We handle permits and ensure everything meets local codes and manufacturer specifications.
Shingle Springs’ hard water conditions require specific maintenance approaches. We provide detailed guidance on descaling schedules and can set up regular maintenance to keep your system running efficiently. Most units in our area benefit from annual or bi-annual professional service.
We also help you take advantage of available rebates and incentives. Federal programs currently offer up to $8,000 in rebates for qualifying energy-efficient installations, and we can help you navigate the application process.
Installation costs typically range from $2,500 to $3,500, depending on the unit size and complexity of your setup. Gas-powered units generally cost more to install than electric models due to venting requirements and potential gas line upgrades.
The higher upfront cost pays for itself through energy savings. Most homeowners save $100 or more annually on energy bills compared to traditional tank systems. With federal rebates up to $8,000 available for qualifying installations, the effective cost can be significantly lower.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Our estimates often come in under the final cost, and we’ll explain exactly what’s included in your installation.
Most installations take 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of your setup. Simple replacements where existing connections are adequate take less time, while installations requiring electrical upgrades or gas line modifications take longer.
We handle all the technical work, including permits, code compliance, and thorough testing. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring everything is installed correctly.
Complex installations might require a return visit to complete final connections or testing, but we’ll keep you informed throughout the process and ensure you have hot water as quickly as possible.
Yes, but hard water requires specific maintenance to keep tankless systems running efficiently. El Dorado County’s mineral-rich water accelerates scaling inside the heat exchanger, which reduces efficiency and can damage components over time.
We recommend annual or bi-annual professional descaling for most homes in our area. This involves circulating a descaling solution through the system to remove mineral buildup and restore optimal heat transfer.
Proper installation and regular maintenance ensure your tankless system performs reliably despite hard water conditions. We provide detailed guidance on maintenance schedules and can set up regular service to protect your investment.
Sizing depends on your peak hot water demand, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). A typical single-bathroom home needs 6-7 GPM, while larger homes with multiple bathrooms simultaneously in use might need 8-12 GPM or more.
We calculate your needs based on the number of fixtures that might run simultaneously, your family’s usage patterns, and the incoming water temperature. Shingle Springs’ cooler groundwater temperatures mean you need more heating capacity than warmer climates.
Proper sizing is crucial for performance and efficiency. An undersized unit won’t meet demand during peak usage, while an oversized unit wastes energy and costs more upfront. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend the right capacity.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service for tankless water heater problems. When your system fails, you need hot water restored quickly, and we respond promptly to get your system back online.
Common emergency issues include system lockouts due to hard water scaling, ignition problems, and component failures. Our technicians carry diagnostic equipment and common replacement parts to resolve many issues during the initial visit.
We also provide emergency installation service when existing units fail completely. If your system can’t be repaired, we can often complete a replacement installation within 24 hours to minimize your inconvenience.
Regular descaling is the most important maintenance for tankless systems in our hard water area. This involves circulating a descaling solution through the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup that reduces efficiency and can cause premature failure.
Most homes need professional descaling annually or bi-annually, depending on water hardness and usage. We also check venting systems, test safety features, clean intake filters, and inspect all connections during service visits.
Between professional services, you can flush the system according to manufacturer guidelines and monitor for signs of scaling like reduced hot water output or unusual noises. We provide detailed maintenance schedules tailored to your specific unit and local water conditions.
