A new tankless water heater should match the way your household uses hot water. Two showers running while someone washes dishes create a different demand than one fixture running alone. The available installation space and existing connections matter, too.
Customers have shared their experiences with Jeremy’s tankless water heater work, including a Navien gas installation and correction of an existing Rinnai installation. Read their reviews below.
If you need a plumber for tankless water heater installation, have your property location and current equipment details ready when you call. Photos of the water heater and surrounding space can help explain what you have in mind.
A tankless water heater heats water as it flows through the unit rather than storing a large tank of heated water. Many models mount on a wall, making them worth considering when floor space is limited. The installation still needs room for connections, required clearances, and servicing. DOE installation guide
Tankless capacity is measured by the hot water flow the equipment can deliver at the required temperature rise. Flow is measured in gallons per minute, or GPM. Temperature rise is the difference between the incoming water temperature and the desired heated-water temperature.
The selected unit needs to handle the fixtures you expect to use together. As Navien explains, “There’s no benefit to oversizing a tankless water heater.” The aim is equipment that meets your household’s demand without paying for unnecessary capacity. Navien sizing guidance
A tankless water heater can supply hot water continuously within its capacity, but heated water still takes time to travel through the pipes. A distant bathroom may still have a wait. Compatible recirculation equipment can reduce that delay in suitable systems. Navien on-demand guidance
Installation involves assessing the home, agreeing on the work, and fitting the selected equipment. The scope depends on the system and the condition of the existing connections.
We start with your current water heater, the fixtures you use together, and any problems you want to address. This gives the installation discussion a practical starting point.
The proposed location needs suitable water and gas connections, venting, and service access. Condensing equipment also needs an appropriate condensate drainage arrangement. The assessment identifies what the selected model requires.
Before installation, we discuss the proposed equipment, price, and work involved, including changes to existing connections and whether old-heater removal is included.
We mount and connect the selected water heater as part of the agreed installation. Equipment instructions and applicable installation requirements guide the work.
The installation finishes with the required operational checks and an explanation of the controls and manufacturer’s care instructions. Building America installation guidance
