Your morning routine changes completely. No more strategic shower scheduling or waiting for the dishwasher to finish before someone can bathe. You turn the tap, hot water flows instantly, and it keeps flowing for as long as you need it.
Your energy bills drop noticeably within the first month. Tankless systems only heat water when you’re actually using it, eliminating the constant energy drain of keeping 50 gallons hot around the clock.
You reclaim valuable space in your utility room. These compact units mount on the wall and take up about as much room as a small suitcase, freeing up floor space for storage or other uses.
We’ve built a solid reputation in Westlake through straightforward service and honest pricing. Our 4.7-star Google rating from 93 local customers reflects what matters most: we show up when we say we will, do the work right the first time, and charge exactly what we quote.
Westlake homeowners deal with unique challenges. Older homes often need electrical or gas line upgrades for tankless installation. Newer developments may have space constraints that require creative mounting solutions. We’ve handled both scenarios countless times and know how to navigate local building codes efficiently.
Our 24/7 emergency service means you’re never stuck with cold water for long. When your current water heater fails, we respond quickly and provide transparent options that fit your budget and timeline.
First, we assess your current setup and calculate your home’s hot water demand. This determines the right unit size and identifies any necessary upgrades to gas lines, electrical systems, or venting.
We remove your old water heater and prepare the installation location. Tankless units mount on walls and need specific clearances for safety and maintenance access. We handle all permit requirements and ensure everything meets local building codes.
The new unit gets connected to your existing plumbing, with new gas or electrical connections as needed. We test the system thoroughly, adjust temperature settings, and walk you through basic operation and maintenance.
Most installations complete in one day, though homes requiring significant electrical or gas line upgrades may need additional time. We clean up completely and haul away your old unit at no extra charge.

Your installation includes proper sizing calculation, permit handling, complete unit installation, and system testing. We also provide old unit removal and disposal, cleanup, and a walkthrough of your new system’s operation.
Westlake’s mix of older and newer homes means installation requirements vary significantly. Older properties built before 1990 often need gas line upgrades to handle tankless units’ higher BTU requirements. Newer homes may need electrical panel upgrades for electric models or specific venting modifications for gas units.
We stock the most reliable brands and help you choose between gas and electric based on your home’s infrastructure and local utility costs. California’s energy incentives can offset much of the installation cost, and we’ll help you navigate available rebates and tax credits.
Our service includes a comprehensive warranty on both the unit and our installation work. We also provide maintenance reminders and priority scheduling for future service needs.
Installation costs vary based on your current setup and the unit you choose. Gas tankless installations typically range from $3,500 to $6,000, including the unit and professional installation. Electric models cost slightly less upfront but may require electrical panel upgrades.
The biggest cost factors are gas line modifications (if needed), electrical upgrades, and venting requirements. Homes with existing tankless-ready infrastructure cost less to convert. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what to expect.
California offers substantial rebates and tax incentives that can reduce your net cost by $1,000 or more. We help identify applicable programs and handle paperwork when possible.
Most Westlake homes can accommodate tankless installation, but the approach varies by property age and current infrastructure. We calculate your peak hot water demand by adding up simultaneous usage from showers, dishwashers, washing machines, and other fixtures.
Older homes may need gas line upgrades to supply adequate BTU capacity, while some newer homes require electrical modifications for electric units. Properties with limited wall space can often accommodate compact models or outdoor-rated units.
We perform a comprehensive assessment before recommending any system. This includes checking your current water pressure, available mounting locations, venting options, and utility connections. If your home isn’t suitable for tankless, we’ll explain why and suggest alternatives.
Tankless units typically last 20+ years with proper maintenance, nearly double the lifespan of traditional tank water heaters. The key difference is that tankless systems don’t store water, eliminating the corrosion and mineral buildup that kills tank units.
Annual maintenance involves descaling to remove mineral deposits, especially important in areas with hard water. This service costs $150-$300 but prevents expensive repairs and maintains efficiency. Most manufacturers offer 10-15 year warranties on heat exchangers and other critical components.
The longer lifespan means lower lifetime costs despite higher upfront investment. When you factor in energy savings and fewer replacements, tankless systems often cost less per year of service than traditional tanks.
Sizing depends on your peak hot water demand and desired temperature rise. We calculate this by adding up flow rates of fixtures you’ll use simultaneously. A typical shower uses 2.5 gallons per minute, dishwashers use about 1.5 GPM, and washing machines vary by model.
Most Westlake homes need units capable of 6-8 GPM to handle multiple simultaneous uses. Larger families or homes with luxury fixtures may require higher capacity units or multiple smaller units strategically placed.
Temperature rise matters too. Westlake’s groundwater temperature varies seasonally, affecting how much heating your unit must provide. We measure your actual groundwater temperature and calculate the exact capacity needed to reach your desired hot water temperature reliably.
Yes, tankless systems typically reduce water heating costs by 20-30% for most households. The savings come from eliminating standby heat loss – the energy wasted keeping 40-50 gallons of water hot 24/7 whether you’re using it or not.
Your actual savings depend on hot water usage patterns and local utility rates. Families using less than 40 gallons daily see the biggest percentage savings, while larger households still save significantly on total energy costs.
Westlake’s relatively high electricity and gas rates make efficiency improvements more valuable. Most customers see payback within 8-12 years through energy savings alone, and the longer lifespan means continued savings for years beyond payback.
We offer 24/7 emergency service, but tankless installation as an emergency replacement depends on your home’s current setup. If your existing infrastructure can support tankless without major modifications, we can often complete installation within 24-48 hours.
Emergency situations requiring immediate hot water restoration may be better served with temporary solutions while planning proper tankless installation. We keep standard tank units in stock for immediate replacement when needed, allowing time to plan tankless conversion properly.
Our emergency service includes honest assessment of your options. If tankless installation requires permits, electrical work, or gas line modifications, we’ll explain the timeline and offer interim solutions to restore hot water quickly while planning the upgrade.
