Your mornings become predictable again. No more cold showers when someone else used all the hot water. No more timing your dishwasher around shower schedules.

Tankless water heaters work well for most family sizes when properly sized for your specific needs. We calculate your peak hot water demand by considering how many showers, appliances, and fixtures might run simultaneously.
For average Alta homes with 2-3 bathrooms, a 5-6 gallon-per-minute unit typically provides adequate hot water for a shower and sink while someone runs the dishwasher. Larger families may need higher-capacity units or multiple systems.
The key is proper sizing during our initial assessment. We ensure your system can handle your family’s peak usage without temperature drops or performance issues.
Tankless water heaters require periodic maintenance to operate efficiently, primarily descaling every 2-3 years to remove mineral buildup. This is especially important in areas with hard water, which is common throughout California.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning water filters monthly or quarterly and checking gas vents for proper operation. These tasks are straightforward and help ensure your system’s 20-year lifespan.
We provide maintenance schedules and can handle annual service visits. Proper maintenance actually costs less over time than repairs on neglected systems, and it keeps your warranty valid.
Yes, California offers substantial rebates and incentives for energy-efficient tankless water heater installations. Through the Inflation Reduction Act, low-income households can receive up to $8,000 in rebates, while middle-income families qualify for up to $4,000.
Additional utility rebates are available through local programs. SoCalGas customers can get up to $6,000 on qualifying energy-efficient equipment. Energy Star-certified natural gas tankless systems come with a $200 rebate.
We help you navigate these programs and handle the paperwork to maximize your savings. These incentives can significantly reduce your upfront investment in tankless technology.
The right tankless water heater size depends on your home’s peak hot water demand, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). We calculate this by adding up the flow rates of fixtures that might run simultaneously during your busiest usage periods.
A typical shower uses 2.5 GPM, kitchen sink uses 1.5 GPM, and washing machine uses 2 GPM. If these might run together, you’d need at least 6 GPM capacity. Most Alta homes with 2-3 bathrooms need 5-7 GPM units.
We perform a detailed assessment of your usage patterns and home layout to recommend the perfect size. Getting this right ensures unlimited hot water without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.
