What is a Tankless Water Heater?

A tankless water heater, also called an on-demand water heater, heats water directly as it flows through the unit rather than storing hot water in a tank. When you turn on a hot water tap, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit where a gas burner or electric element heats it up. You get hot water instantly, and it keeps flowing as long as you need it.

These systems have gained popularity in Denver over the last decade because they save space, reduce energy consumption, and deliver an endless supply of hot water. Unlike traditional tank units that sit idle heating water 24/7, tankless models only heat water when you actually use it. That translates to lower utility bills and less wasted energy.

Homes and businesses that install tankless systems typically see energy savings of 24 to 34 percent compared to storage tanks. For families taking multiple showers in the morning or households that run the dishwasher and laundry simultaneously, a tankless unit handles the demand without running out of hot water.

Why Denver Homeowners Choose Tankless

Space efficiency is a major draw. A tankless unit mounts on a wall and takes up roughly one-tenth the space of a traditional 50-gallon tank. This is especially valuable in Denver homes with tight utility closets or basement spaces.

Longer Lifespan

Tankless water heaters typically last 15 to 20 years, while traditional tanks usually need replacement around the 10 to 12 year mark. The initial investment pays off through years of reliable service.

On-Demand Performance

You never run out of hot water during peak usage times. Whether your family showers back-to-back or you're filling a large soaking tub, a properly sized tankless system keeps up.

Common Issues That Lead to Tankless Installation

Many Denver homeowners contact us about tankless water heater installation because their old storage tank is failing. When a traditional water heater starts leaking or stops maintaining temperature, replacement becomes the only option. Rather than buy another tank unit, many decide it's the right time to upgrade to tankless.

Another common situation involves families outgrowing their current system. If you've renovated your home, added a bathroom, or your hot water demand has simply increased, your old tank may not keep up. During morning showers or when guests are visiting, you run out of hot water quickly. A tankless system solves this problem by delivering unlimited hot water on demand.

Rising energy bills also motivate the switch. Tank water heaters waste energy continuously, even when no one is using hot water. In the winter months, Denver homes lose heat through the sides of the tank. Over a year, this inefficiency adds up. Switching to tankless often reduces water heating costs noticeably.

Some customers simply want the convenience of modern technology. They appreciate the compact footprint, the ability to install the unit in unconventional spaces, and the knowledge that they'll have hot water exactly when they need it. If your current water heater is older than 10 years, it makes financial sense to evaluate tankless installation before an emergency failure forces a rushed replacement.

Tank Unit Running Out of Hot Water

If you're experiencing cold showers during peak usage times, your storage tank isn't sized for your household's needs. Tankless units eliminate this problem entirely.

Visible Rust or Corrosion

Rust stains around the tank base or discolored hot water indicate internal corrosion. This signals the tank is aging and failure is likely within months.

Water Pooling Around the Tank

Any leak, whether small or large, means replacement is necessary. Rather than patch an aging tank, switching to tankless is the smarter choice.

High Monthly Utility Bills

Older storage tanks work harder to maintain temperature, especially in Denver's cold months. Upgrading to tankless can lower your energy costs significantly.

What Our Tankless Water Heater Installation Service Includes

When you schedule tankless water heater installation with us, you're getting a complete project handled by technicians who understand Denver homes inside and out. Here's what happens from start to finish.

System Assessment and Sizing

We evaluate your hot water demand by asking about your household size, number of bathrooms, and usage patterns. We take flow rate requirements into account and recommend a tankless unit that's properly sized for your Denver home. An undersized unit will struggle during peak demand, while an oversized unit wastes money upfront. We get it right the first time.

Fuel Source Evaluation

Tankless systems come in gas and electric models. We assess your home's existing fuel supply and help you choose the most efficient option. Many Denver homes use natural gas, which offers excellent performance and operating costs. We handle all configuration decisions based on your specific setup.

Removal of Old Equipment

If you're replacing an existing water heater, we disconnect and remove the old unit safely. We handle all drain-down procedures and dispose of the old tank according to local Denver regulations. Your space is left clean and ready for the new installation.

Venting and Pipe Configuration

Tankless units require proper venting to exhaust combustion gases safely outside your home. We run all necessary piping, install venting systems, and ensure everything meets Denver building codes. Water supply lines and return lines are configured for optimal performance.

Gas Line or Electrical Work

Gas tankless units need adequate fuel line sizing to deliver proper burner performance. Electric models require appropriate electrical capacity. Our team handles all utility connections, including any upgrades needed to support your new system safely and legally.

Installation and Mounting

We securely mount your tankless unit on an exterior or interior wall, depending on venting configuration and your preferences. All connections are pressure-tested and verified to work correctly before we consider the job complete.

System Testing and Calibration

We run the unit through a full test cycle, checking water temperature, flow rates, and safety features. The system is calibrated to deliver your desired temperature and performance. Any adjustments needed are made during this phase.

Training and Documentation

We walk you through operation, maintenance requirements, and warranty details. You'll receive the owner's manual and any product documentation. We explain how to use your new system and answer all your questions before we leave.

Our installation process typically takes one full day for most Denver homes. More complex installations with venting or gas line upgrades may require additional time. We always provide an accurate timeline and discuss the scope of work upfront so there are no surprises.
