Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can a tankless water heater really handle a large Houston home?
Yes. While a single unit is incredibly powerful, the key is proper sizing. For larger homes in neighborhoods like River Oaks or Memorial with multiple high-flow showerheads, we can install "cascading" systems (multiple units linked together). This ensures that even if three showers, the dishwasher, and the washing machine are running simultaneously, you never experience a drop in temperature.
2. How does Houston’s "hard water" affect tankless units?
Houston is known for having moderately hard water, which contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. When this water is heated, it can create scale buildup inside the heat exchanger.
- The Solution: We recommend a professional descale/flush once a year.
- The Benefit: Many of our installations include a built-in scale prevention system or a whole-home water softener to keep the unit running like new for decades.
3. What is the "Cold Water Sandwich" and will I experience it?
A "cold water sandwich" occurs when you turn a faucet off and back on quickly, causing a small pocket of unheated water to travel through the pipes. Modern, high-end units (like those from Rinnai or Navien) feature internal recirculation pumps or small buffer tanks that virtually eliminate this issue, providing a seamless stream of hot water.
4. Will I need to upgrade my electrical or gas lines?
Tankless units require more "juice" in a short burst than traditional tanks.
- Gas Units: Usually require a larger diameter gas pipe (1-inch or 3/4-inch) to handle the higher BTU demand.
- Electric Units: May require an upgrade to your home's electrical panel (often requiring 3 or 4 dedicated 40-amp breakers).During your consultation, we inspect your current infrastructure to provide an all-inclusive quote so there are no surprises during installation.
5. Are there tax credits or rebates available in Texas?
Yes! Under the Federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C), homeowners may be eligible for a tax credit of up to $600 for installing a high-efficiency tankless gas water heater. Additionally, local utility providers occasionally offer rebates for switching to Energy Star-certified appliances. We can provide the necessary documentation to help you claim these savings.
6. What happens to a tankless heater during a Houston freeze?
Unlike traditional tanks located in uninsulated attics that can burst and cause massive flooding, tankless units are equipped with internal freeze protection. As long as the unit has power and gas, it will protect itself. For outdoor installations, we use specialized recessed boxes and heat trace tape to ensure your system survives the next "Big Freeze."
7. How much does a tankless installation cost compared to a tank?
The upfront cost of a tankless system is generally higher—often 2 to 3 times the cost of a standard tank—due to the technology and the necessary venting/piping modifications. However, when you factor in the 20+ year lifespan (double a traditional tank) and the monthly energy savings, the system typically pays for itself over time.

Signs include inconsistent water temperature, reduced water flow, strange noises, or error codes displayed on the unit. These symptoms indicate potential issues that require professional attention.
While some basic maintenance tasks like cleaning the air filter can be done by homeowners, it’s best to have a professional perform thorough maintenance to ensure all components are properly inspected and serviced.
Maintenance typically includes descaling to remove mineral buildup, cleaning the air filter, checking the burner or heating element, and inspecting the venting system. Regular checks ensure that all components are functioning correctly.
It's recommended to perform maintenance on your tankless water heater at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps prevent mineral buildup, ensures efficient operation, and extends the system’s lifespan.
Consider the hot water demand, the number of fixtures, the type of fuel (natural gas, propane, or electric), and the specific requirements of your property. Consulting with a professional can help you determine the best system for your needs.
Commercial tankless water heaters are highly efficient as they only heat water on demand, reducing energy waste. This efficiency translates to significant savings on utility bills, especially for businesses with high hot water usage.
Yes, regular maintenance is crucial for commercial tankless water heaters. This includes descaling, checking the heating elements or burners, and ensuring proper ventilation. Routine maintenance helps prevent breakdowns and extends the system’s lifespan.
Depending on the hot water demand, multiple tankless water heaters can be installed in parallel to meet the needs of large commercial properties. This setup ensures that the system can handle simultaneous usage from multiple fixtures.
Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water, energy savings, and space efficiency, making them ideal for commercial properties with high hot water demand. They also have a longer lifespan compared to traditional water heaters.
The cost to install a tankless water heater can range from $3,000 to $6,500, including the unit and installation. Factors affecting the cost include the type of heater, installation complexity, and any necessary upgrades to your home’s plumbing or electrical systems.
Tankless water heaters require proper venting, a dedicated gas line or sufficient electrical capacity, and a location that prevents freezing. Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance.
No, tankless water heaters provide an endless supply of hot water as long as the demand does not exceed the unit's capacity. However, if multiple high-demand appliances are used simultaneously, you may experience a reduction in water temperature.
Yes, tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional tank water heaters. They only heat water when needed, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills. On average, they can be 24-34% more efficient for homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily.
A tankless water heater heats water on demand rather than storing it in a tank. When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water flows into the unit and is heated by a gas burner or electric element before being delivered to the faucet. This process provides a continuous supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank.
