Installation

What a tankless install involves

A tankless water heater heats water only when you open a tap, so there is no tank of hot water waiting and no tank to fail and flood a basement. The trade is a bigger install. Ryan does tankless work for homeowners: the new unit, the gas line, the venting, the water connections and the finish.

A tank-to-tankless swap is more than one-for-one:

  • Gas: tankless units pull a lot of gas at once, so the existing line is often too small. Ryan handles gas line installation and extension, for propane or natural gas.
  • Venting: the unit needs its own vent run out of the house, and the old tank vent usually does not fit.
  • Water and power: new shutoffs and connections, and an outlet for the unit, because it will not fire without electricity.
  • Old tank out: the old unit comes out and the space is cleaned up.

Water heater jobs typically run about $500 to $2,000. The final price depends on the unit and the job. You get a free estimate before any work, with no trip fee and no diagnostic fee.

Service and Repair

Tankless unit not working right?

Ryan also services tankless units that are already in your home, not just new ones. Common reasons people call:

  • Hot water that turns lukewarm or cold in the middle of a shower.
  • No hot water at all, or an error code on the display.
  • Less hot water than the unit used to give, or slow to warm up.
  • Scale buildup inside the unit. Descaling flushes it out.
  • Noises or a smell near the unit or its vent.

Start with our guide to a tankless water heater that is not heating. If it is a gas smell, leave the house first and follow the steps on our gas smell page.

Local Notes

Tankless in a North Georgia mountain home

Mountain homes put a few extra questions on a tankless install.

Propane or natural gas. Many homes around Ellijay, Blue Ridge and Blairsville run on a propane tank, and a tankless unit uses a lot of fuel at once. The line from the tank has to be able to deliver it. The unit also has to be set up for the fuel you have.

Cold winter water. Water coming into the house is colder in winter, so a tankless unit works harder to heat it. Ask Ryan how that plays out for your home.

Well water and hard water. Minerals and sediment collect inside a tankless unit and can cut how well it heats. If you are on a well, a filter or softener may be worth discussing. See our post on hard water and your plumbing and our water treatment service.

Power outages. The unit needs electricity, so no power means no hot water, even if gas is flowing.

★★★★★

"I had my water heater fail and fill my basement with water. Ryan replaced my water heater with a tankless and repaired my main water shut off valve the next working day. The work was done beautifully, quickly and the area cleaned up neatly when he was done. Super fair pricing as well."

Common Questions

Tankless Water Heater Questions

Can you replace my tank water heater with a tankless one?

Yes. The swap usually means a larger gas line, a new vent and new water connections. Ryan looks at all three at the free estimate.

How much does a tankless install cost?

Water heater jobs typically run about $500 to $2,000. The final price depends on the unit and the job. Ryan gives a free estimate before any work, so you know the price first.

Do you repair tankless units that are already installed?

Yes. Lukewarm water, no hot water, error codes and scale buildup are all reasons to call.

What is descaling?

Minerals in the water leave scale inside the unit. Descaling flushes it out so the unit can heat the way it should. It matters most on well water and hard water.

Will a tankless heater work in a power outage?

No. The unit needs electricity to run, so it will not make hot water when the power is out.

Do you run propane and natural gas?

Yes. Ryan handles gas lines for both. The unit has to match the fuel you have.
