Tankless Water Heater Installation

Moving from a tank to an on demand system, with sizing by flow rate, proper gas supply and venting, and service valves for easy flushing.

Tankless Water Heater Installation for Snellville area homes

A tankless water heater heats water only when you open a tap. There is no tank to keep hot all day, and as long as the unit is sized correctly, the hot water does not run out halfway through a shower.

Tankless water heater installation in Snellville is a bigger project than a tank swap, because on demand units need more gas or electrical capacity and different venting. Planned well, it frees up floor space and gives a steady supply of hot water.

Is tankless a good fit for your home

You run out of hot water

Back to back showers stop being a scheduling problem.

You want floor space back

Wall mounting can free a closet or a corner of the garage.

You are planning for the long term

Tankless units often have a long service life when they are flushed regularly.

You understand the tradeoffs

Up front cost is higher, and hot water can take a moment to arrive at distant taps.

What installation includes

Sizing by the number of fixtures likely to run at the same time
Evaluating the gas line size and meter capacity, or electrical service for electric models
Planning a vent route suited to the unit
Mounting the unit and making water and gas connections
Installing isolation valves for future descaling
Removing the old tank and testing the full system

From tank to tankless

1
Site check
The location, vent path and gas or electric supply are reviewed first.
2
Choose the unit
A model is matched to your peak flow, not just the number of bathrooms.
3
Install and vent
The unit is mounted, connected and vented according to the manufacturer.
4
Run it hard
Several fixtures are run together to confirm the unit keeps up.

Sizing in plain terms

Tankless units are rated by how many gallons per minute they can heat by a given temperature rise. In cooler months the incoming water is colder, so the unit has to work harder. Sizing for the colder season avoids disappointment in winter.

Gas line size is often the deciding detail. A tank heater uses modest gas input; a tankless unit may need much more. If the existing line cannot supply it, a new run may be needed, which affects cost and timing.
