What is a Tankless Water Heater?
The tankless water heater works on demand and produces hot water within a second of it turning on it can give you a continuous supply of hot water without paying to heat and store the water like a standard traditional tank type water heater. Old water heaters were not very efficient Like a pot of water on a stove. Tankless water heaters only heat when the water is turned on and doesn’t heat when you are not home or on vacation, etc. it’s much more efficient and saves you a ton of money in gas cost over the years of the tankless unit. Tankless water heater heaters are a great choice in California due to their compact size and long-term durability, most warranties are double a regular tank type water heater. They come with up to 25 year warranties start around 12 years but go up to 25 years warranty.

How a Tankless Water Heater Works
When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water flows through the unit. A gas burner or electric element heats the water instantly as it passes through the heat exchanger. You get hot water within seconds, and it never runs out, because there is no tank to empty.
The flow rate is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). We size your unit to match your peak demand, so you can run a shower, dishwasher, and washing machine at the same time without running cold.
What a Tankless Installation Involves
Unlike a simple tank swap, tankless installs sometimes require upgrades to your home. We check all of this before we quote:
- Gas line sizing: tankless units need higher BTU input, often requiring a larger gas line
- Venting: most gas tankless units need new PVC or stainless venting to the outside
- Condensate drain for condensing models
- Expansion tank if your water district uses a closed system
- Permits: pulled and closed on your behalf, California-compliant

- No hot water or intermittent hot water
