Our Tankless Water Heater Installation Process
From first contact to completed work, here's how we approach every tankless water heater installation service call:
Calculate Hot Water Demand
We assess your household's peak hot water usage to size the unit correctly — undersized units won't keep up.
Evaluate Gas and Venting
Tankless units need a larger gas supply and direct venting. We check if upgrades are needed before installation.
Install Gas and Vent
Gas line and vent runs are completed before the unit goes in — ensuring everything is ready for a clean installation.
Mount and Connect Unit
The tankless unit is wall-mounted and connected to gas, cold water supply, and hot water output lines.
Commission the System
We start the unit, set temperature, verify flow rates, and check for any errors or issues before leaving.
