Tankless Installation Process Antelope

Here's Exactly What Happens During Installation

First, we assess your current setup and water usage needs. Not every home needs the same size unit, and we’ll size yours correctly the first time. Next, we handle the removal of your old tank and any necessary electrical or gas line modifications. Most installations require upgrading to a larger gas line or higher-capacity electrical service – we take care of all permits and inspections. The actual installation takes 4-6 hours for most homes. We mount the unit, connect all lines, test the system thoroughly, and walk you through the basic controls. You’ll have hot water the same day, and we clean up completely before we leave.

What's Included in Your Replacement Service

Every tankless water heater replacement includes removal of your old unit, proper disposal, and complete installation of your new system. We handle all electrical or gas line modifications needed to meet current codes. Antelope’s hard water means we also include a water quality assessment. Many tankless units need water softening or filtration to maintain their warranty. We’ll let you know upfront if your water will cause problems down the road. You get a full walkthrough of your new system’s controls, maintenance schedule, and warranty information. We also provide our 24/7 emergency service number because even the best systems occasionally need attention.

How much does tankless water heater replacement cost in Antelope?

Most tankless water heater replacements in Antelope run between $3,500 and $6,500, depending on your home’s current setup and the unit size you need. The biggest cost variables are gas line or electrical upgrades. Older homes often need larger gas lines or 240V electrical service to power tankless units properly. We assess this during our initial visit and give you a complete quote upfront. Many customers find the energy savings pay for the upgrade within 5-7 years. Tankless units use 20-30% less energy than traditional tanks, which adds up quickly with California’s energy costs.

Will a tankless water heater work in my older Antelope home?

Yes, but older homes typically need some infrastructure upgrades to support tankless systems properly. Most homes built before 1990 have smaller gas lines or electrical panels that need upgrading. We handle all necessary permits and inspections for electrical or gas work. The good news is these upgrades also increase your home’s value and bring your systems up to current safety codes. The installation might take an extra day if we need to run new gas lines or upgrade electrical service, but you’ll have hot water throughout the process using temporary connections.

How long do tankless water heaters last compared to regular tanks?

Quality tankless water heaters typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, compared to 8-12 years for traditional tank systems. The key difference is tankless units don’t store water, so they don’t develop the rust and corrosion issues that kill tank heaters. However, they do need annual maintenance to prevent mineral buildup, especially in Antelope where we have moderately hard water. We recommend annual flushing and filter changes to keep your system running efficiently. Skip the maintenance, and you might only get 10-12 years from even a high-end unit.

Can a tankless system keep up with my family's hot water needs?

When properly sized, yes. The trick is getting the right unit for your actual usage patterns, not just your home’s size. We calculate your peak demand by looking at how many fixtures might run simultaneously. A family of four typically needs a unit that can handle 6-8 gallons per minute, but this varies based on your shower heads, appliances, and usage habits. Unlike tank systems, you’ll never run out of hot water completely. However, if demand exceeds the unit’s capacity, water temperature might drop slightly until usage decreases.

What maintenance does a tankless water heater need?

Annual flushing is the most important maintenance task. Antelope’s water contains minerals that build up inside the heat exchanger over time, reducing efficiency and potentially causing damage. You should also replace the inlet filter every 6-12 months and check venting connections annually. These are simple tasks most homeowners can handle themselves. Professional maintenance visits typically cost $150-200 annually but prevent expensive repairs and keep your warranty valid. Most manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance to honor warranty claims.

Do you offer emergency service for tankless water heater problems?

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Antelope and surrounding areas. Water heater failures don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Common emergency issues include loss of hot water, error codes, or gas leaks. We stock common replacement parts and can often restore service the same day, even on weekends or holidays. Emergency service calls start at $195, which covers the first hour of diagnostic time. If we complete the repair within that hour, that’s your total cost. Larger repairs are quoted separately with the diagnostic fee applied to your total.
