Elmhurst residents are choosing tankless water heaters more often, and for good reason. These systems heat water only when you need it, eliminating the energy waste of keeping a large tank hot 24/7.
California homeowners typically save 24-34% on their water heating costs with tankless systems. For an average family, that’s over $100 per year in savings. Larger families save even more.
Tankless units also last longer – up to 20 years compared to 10-15 years for traditional tank systems. They take up much less space, freeing up room in your garage or utility area. Plus, you’ll never run out of hot water during back-to-back showers.
Several signs indicate replacement is your best option. If your water heater is over 8-12 years old, you’re likely better off replacing it rather than investing in repairs.
Other clear replacement signals include rusty or discolored hot water, water pooling around the base, or consistently lukewarm water even after adjusting the temperature. If you’re experiencing multiple issues or frequent repairs, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
We’ll evaluate your specific situation honestly and explain whether repair or replacement offers better long-term value for your household.
Traditional water heaters store 40-80 gallons of hot water in a tank, keeping it heated continuously. Tankless systems heat water instantly as it flows through the unit when you turn on a faucet.
Tankless units cost more upfront but save 24-34% on energy bills and last up to 20 years. They provide unlimited hot water and take up minimal space. Traditional tanks cost less initially but have higher operating costs and typically last 10-15 years.
The right choice depends on your budget, space constraints, and hot water usage patterns. We’ll help you determine which option fits your household’s needs.
Most water heater replacements take 2-4 hours when replacing a similar unit in the same location. If you’re switching from tank to tankless or changing fuel types, installation may take longer due to additional plumbing or electrical work.
We come prepared with the tools and parts needed for most installations, allowing us to complete the job in a single visit. Emergency replacements can often be done the same day you call.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. Our goal is to restore your hot water as quickly as possible while ensuring proper installation.
Yes, California offers several rebate programs for energy-efficient water heaters. Energy Star-certified natural gas tankless systems qualify for up to $200 in rebates. High-efficiency models with energy factors between 0.82-0.89 earn $150 rebates.
Federal tax credits provide up to $600 for qualifying high-efficiency tankless gas water heaters through the Inflation Reduction Act. Some utility companies offer additional rebates of $400 or more for Energy Star-certified units.
We stay current on available rebate programs and can help you understand which incentives apply to your specific installation. These rebates can significantly offset the higher upfront cost of efficient systems.
Water heater sizing depends on your household’s peak hot water demand, not just the number of people in your home. We consider how many bathrooms you have, whether you run dishwashers and washing machines simultaneously, and your family’s usage patterns.
For traditional tanks, a 40-gallon unit typically serves 1-2 people, while 4-5 people usually need 60-80 gallons. Tankless systems are sized by flow rate – how many gallons per minute they can heat to your desired temperature.
We calculate your specific needs during our evaluation, ensuring your new water heater can handle your household’s busiest hot water periods without running short.
Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency water heater service throughout Elmhurst because we know water heater failures don’t wait for convenient times. Whether it’s a weekend, holiday, or middle of the night, we respond quickly to restore your hot water.
