Tankless Water Heater Installation

Endless Hot Water, Less Space

Tankless systems heat water on demand instead of storing it in a bulky tank. You get hot water whenever you need it without waiting for a tank to refill and reheat.

These units last up to 20 years with proper maintenance, nearly double the lifespan of traditional tank systems. The upfront investment pays off through lower energy bills and fewer replacements over time. Perfect for homes where space is tight or hot water demand varies throughout the day.

Water Heater Installation FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

Most standard water heater replacements take 2-4 hours when we’re swapping a similar unit in the same location. Converting from tank to tankless takes longer, usually 6-8 hours, because we need to modify gas lines, electrical connections, and venting. Emergency installations can often be completed the same day if we have the right unit available. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate once we see your specific situation.
It depends on your household’s hot water usage and budget. Traditional tanks cost less upfront and work well for families with predictable usage patterns. Tankless units cost more initially but provide endless hot water and last nearly twice as long. They’re also more energy efficient and take up less space. For most Swartz Creek homes, we recommend considering your peak usage times and available space when making this decision.
For traditional tanks, a family of four typically needs a 50-gallon unit, though this varies based on usage habits. If you frequently run dishwashers and washing machines while people are showering, you might need a 75-gallon tank. Tankless sizing is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). Most homes need 5-7 GPM capacity. We’ll calculate your actual needs based on your fixtures and usage patterns rather than just guessing.
Traditional tank water heater installation typically runs $1,200-$2,500 including the unit and labor. Tankless installations range from $2,500-$4,000 depending on the complexity of your setup. Emergency installations may cost more due to after-hours service. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees, and we offer a 5% discount for military, first responders, and seniors. The exact cost depends on your home’s specific requirements and the unit you choose.
Watch for these warning signs: water that’s not getting as hot as it used to, rusty or discolored water from hot taps, strange noises like popping or rumbling, visible leaks around the unit, or frequent repairs. If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing any of these symptoms, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repairs. Don’t wait for a complete failure – it’s much easier to plan a replacement than deal with an emergency.

For new installations, we’ll recommend brands that offer the best value and reliability for your specific situation.
