What Is Included in Our Tankless Installation
A proper tankless installation involves more than swapping out your old unit. Depending on your home’s existing setup, the job may include gas line work, new venting, electrical upgrades, or water line modifications. We handle all of it.
Our tankless water heater installation services include gas and electric tankless water heater installation, proper sizing based on your household’s hot water demand and number of fixtures, dedicated gas line installation or electrical circuit work when needed, venting installation for gas units, old water heater removal and responsible disposal, and permit-ready installation completed to code.
We work with all major brands and will walk you through the options that make the most sense for your home and budget before any work begins.
Getting the Right Size for Your Home
Sizing is the most important factor in a tankless installation. A unit that’s too small will struggle to keep up when multiple fixtures draw hot water at the same time. A unit that’s too large costs more than your household needs.
The right size depends on your peak hot water demand, the number of bathrooms and appliances in your home, your fuel source, and your incoming water temperature. In Spokane Valley, winter ground temperatures affect how hard the unit has to work, which factors into sizing decisions for this climate specifically.
Our team will assess your home’s needs before recommending a unit so you’re not guessing after the fact.
Hard Water and Your New Tankless Unit
Spokane Valley has moderately hard water, and mineral scale buildup inside the heat exchanger is one of the leading causes of early performance issues in tankless units throughout this area. Addressing water hardness before or at the time of installation protects your investment and keeps the system running efficiently. A water softener significantly reduces the rate of scale buildup and extends service intervals. We offer free in-home water quality testing so you know exactly what you’re working with before making any decisions.
After Installation: Keeping Your System Running
A new tankless unit benefits from routine preventive maintenance, especially in areas with hard water. Annual descaling removes mineral buildup from the heat exchanger, preserves flow rates, and prevents the kind of strain that shortens the system’s lifespan.If you ever notice a drop in performance, an error code, or inconsistent hot water output, our tankless water heater repair team is ready to diagnose and resolve the issue quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tankless installation take?
Most installations take a day. Converting from a tank, or moving the unit to a different location, can take longer, and we will tell you which you are looking at before we start.
What is involved beyond swapping the unit?
Venting, gas supply sizing, water connections, and sometimes electrical. A tankless unit draws differently from a tank, so the supporting work is what separates a proper installation from a problem later.
How do you size the unit for my home?
From your household's peak demand and the incoming water temperature, not square footage. Spokane Valley winters bring colder incoming water, which affects how much the unit can heat at once, so we size for the worst case rather than the average.
Where does it get installed?
Usually on an interior or exterior wall with a short vent run and access for service. We walk the options with you before we mount anything, since it affects both performance and future maintenance.
Do you handle the permits?
Yes. Tankless work is permitted and inspected, and we take care of the paperwork and coordination so it is signed off correctly.
Will my gas line need upgrading?
Sometimes. Tankless units draw more gas at peak than a tank does, and older lines are not always sized for it. We check before quoting so it is in the price rather than a surprise.
What maintenance does it need afterward?
An annual descale and a filter check. Spokane Valley water is hard enough that skipping it will cost you efficiency and eventually the heat exchanger.
What does installation cost?
It depends on the unit, whether you are converting from a tank, and what the gas and venting need. Estimates are free and in person, with the full number before we begin, and financing is available.
