Tankless Water Heater Installation North Hollywood
A tankless water heater heats water as it is needed instead of storing it in a tank. North Hollywood Plumbing Company installs tankless water heaters for customers planning a replacement or a new hot water system.
Choosing a unit involves more than comparing its size or brand. The home’s hot water demand, fuel or electrical supply, venting route, and installation location all affect which system may fit.
We’ll review the project details and explain what the installation involves. If you’re replacing a tank water heater, tell us where it is now and what fixtures use hot water. For a new build or ADU, share the plans and construction stage if available.
Our Tankless Water Heater Installation Process
We plan the installation around the selected unit, the home’s utility capacity, and the applicable permit requirements. The exact work varies between gas and electric systems.
Review Hot Water Needs
We’ll discuss how hot water is used in the home, including the number of bathrooms and fixtures that may run at the same time. This helps determine the flow capacity the system needs to support.
Check the Installation Location and Utilities
We’ll review where the unit will go and whether the existing water, gas or electrical supply, and venting can support it. If the current connections need changes, that work affects the installation
Install the Tankless System
Installation may involve mounting the unit, connecting water lines, and completing the required gas or electrical work. Gas models also need a suitable venting arrangement; condensing models may require a condensate drain.
Test the System
After installation, the system is checked for proper operation and leaks. The final checks depend on the model and project requirements, including any required inspection.
Tankless Water Heater Installation Options
Gas Tankless Water Heaters
Gas models use a gas burner to heat water as it flows through the unit. Before installation, the gas supply and venting need to be checked against the selected model’s requirements.
Electric Tankless Water Heaters
Electric models heat water using electrical elements. The home’s electrical service and available circuits need to be checked to confirm whether they can support the selected unit.
Whole-Home Tankless Systems
A whole-home system supplies hot water to multiple fixtures. Unit capacity should account for the fixtures that may be used at the same time and the temperature of incoming water.
Tankless Systems for New Construction or ADUs
A new home or accessory dwelling unit may need a water heater selected as part of the plumbing plan. The location, fuel or electrical supply, hot water demand, and approved project plans guide the installation.
Reasons You May Need Tankless Water Heater Installation
You Are Building or Remodeling
A new build, ADU, or major renovation can be a time to plan a tankless system into the plumbing layout. Discussing the water heater location and utility connections early can help coordinate the work with the rest of construction.
Your Household’s Hot Water Needs Have Changed
A change in household size or hot water use can affect the capacity needed. Tell us which fixtures are commonly used at the same time so we can discuss suitable options.
You Want to Change From a Tank to Tankless
A tankless system uses a different setup from a storage water heater. The existing installation location may need changes to water piping, gas or electrical supply, or venting
