Tankless water heater installation
in Little Rock, AR

Installing a tankless water heater gives you endless hot water. You never have to time your showers around other family members or wait for the tank to refill. Everyone can shower back-to-back without running cold, and you can fill a large bathtub without worrying about using up all the hot water.

You save space in your home. The tankless unit mounts on a wall in your garage, utility room, basement, or even outside. This frees up the floor space your old tank water heater occupied. Some people add storage shelves in that spot, others just appreciate the cleaner look.

Your monthly energy costs drop. Tankless systems only heat water when you need it, which uses 25 to 40 percent less energy than keeping a tank of water hot all the time. For a typical Little Rock home, this saves $100 to $300 per year on utility bills.

You get cleaner water. Tank water heaters accumulate rust and sediment that sits in your hot water for years. Tankless systems have no storage tank, so fresh water gets heated every time. You're not using water that's been sitting in a rusty tank for days.

The system lasts much longer. A quality tankless water heater lasts 20 years or more with proper maintenance. Tank water heaters usually last 8 to 12 years before they rust through and leak. Over time, tankless systems cost less because you replace them half as often.

You increase your home's resale value. Buyers appreciate energy-efficient features and modern appliances. A tankless water heater is a selling point that sets your home apart from others on the market.

We start by discussing your household's hot water needs. How many people live in your home? How many bathrooms do you have? Do you run multiple showers at once? Do you have a large bathtub you like to fill? These questions help us size the tankless unit correctly.

We schedule a site visit to evaluate your home. We need to see your current water heater setup, check your electrical panel capacity, examine your gas line size if you have gas service, and figure out where the tankless unit should go. This evaluation takes about 30 to 45 minutes.

We'll explain your options - electric versus gas tankless. Electric tankless heaters work anywhere but require significant electrical upgrades in most homes. They need dedicated high-amperage circuits that many older electrical panels can't handle. Gas tankless heaters are more powerful and can heat more water at once, but they need proper gas line sizing and special venting to the outside.

For electric installations, we often need to upgrade your electrical panel or add circuits. Little Rock homes built before 2000 typically have 100-amp or 150-amp panels. A whole-home electric tankless heater might need 150 to 200 amps total, which means upgrading your panel. We coordinate with licensed electricians to handle this work.

For gas installations, we evaluate your existing gas line. Many homes have half-inch gas lines that work fine for tank water heaters but can't supply enough gas for a tankless unit. We might need to run a larger three-quarter-inch gas line from your meter to the tankless location.

We give you a complete estimate covering the tankless unit, installation labor, and any electrical or gas line upgrades needed. Tankless installation costs more than tank replacement because of these extra requirements, but the long-term savings make up for it.

The actual installation takes one to three days depending on what prep work we need. Simple replacements in homes already set up for tankless can happen in one day. Installations requiring electrical panel upgrades or gas line work take longer.

We remove your old tank water heater first. We drain it, disconnect all the water lines, and haul it away. This creates the space we need for the new tankless unit and associated piping.

We mount the tankless unit on the wall in the best location. This might be where your old tank was, or we might move it to a better spot. Gas tankless units need outdoor venting, so we consider where the vent pipes can run through your wall or roof.

All the water connections get replumbed to fit the tankless unit. The inlet and outlet connections are different from tank heaters, so we install new pipes and valves. We also install isolation valves that make future maintenance easier.

For gas units, we connect the gas line and install proper venting. The venting is specialized - it brings in combustion air from outside and vents exhaust gases safely away from your home. This is required by code and ensures safe operation.

For electric units, we make the electrical connections to the dedicated circuits. Tankless electric heaters use 240-volt power like tank heaters, but they draw much more amperage. The wiring must be properly sized and protected.

After everything is connected, we test the system thoroughly. We run hot water at multiple fixtures to make sure the unit heats properly and maintains temperature. We check for leaks, verify gas connections are tight, and confirm the venting is working correctly.

We show you how to use your new tankless water heater. Most units have digital controls where you set the exact water temperature you want. We explain any maintenance requirements like annual flushing to prevent mineral buildup.

We provide warranty information and maintenance recommendations. Most tankless manufacturers offer 10 to 15-year warranties on the heat exchanger and 5-year warranties on parts. We explain what's covered and what maintenance you need to do to keep the warranty valid.

Let's talk about water heaters. Most people don't think about them until they stop working. But here in Arkansas, with our humid summers and cold winters, a working water heater isn't just about comfort. It's about your daily life functioning the way it should.

We install all types of water heaters in Little Rock and the surrounding areas. Whether you live in the Heights, West Little Rock, or out near Maumelle, we can get to you. Tank water heaters, tankless systems, gas or electric. We handle them all.

Here's what most people don't know: your water heater probably needs replacing before it completely dies. If your unit is over 10 years old, making weird noises, or taking longer to heat up water, you're on borrowed time. Many people wait until it fails completely, which usually means coming home to water damage or having no hot water for days while waiting for parts.

When we install a new water heater, we don't just swap the old one for a new one. We check your home's setup, talk about your hot water needs (big family? guests often? lots of laundry?), and help you pick the right size. A water heater that's too small means you run out of hot water. One that's too big wastes energy and money every month.

The Hillcrest neighborhood has a lot of older homes with original plumbing. The process for replacing water heaters usually takes about 3-4 hours. Newer homes in Chenal Valley or Maumelle sometimes need different setups, especially if they have specific builder requirements.

If you need a full replacement, a new water heater can usually be installed within 24-48 hours.

Some plumbing problems can wait until Monday morning. Others can't.

A toilet that won't stop overflowing? That's an emergency. A burst pipe spraying water everywhere? You need help now. A backed-up drain flooding your basement? That needs attention right away.

We handle emergency plumbing calls for Little Rock homeowners. We're not available 24/7, but we respond quickly during business hours and can often get to you same-day.

The thing about plumbing emergencies is they always happen at the worst time. Saturday night before you're hosting Sunday brunch. Right before you leave for vacation. Five minutes after you put your kids to bed.

When you call, we'll ask you some questions about what's happening. Sometimes we can walk you through a quick fix to stop the immediate problem until we can get there. Other times, you need to shut off your water right away to prevent damage.

If you've got water spraying everywhere, find your main water shut-off valve. In most Little Rock homes, it's near where the water line comes into your house, often in the basement or on an exterior wall. Turn it clockwise until it stops. That turns off all the water to your house and stops the flooding.

Nobody plans for their toilet to overflow or their drain to back up. But when it happens, you need someone who can get there fast and actually fix it, not just temporarily clear it so it backs up again next month.

We work all over the greater Little Rock area. From the historic homes in Quapaw Quarter to the newer developments in Maumelle and Conway. Each area has its own plumbing quirks.

Older neighborhoods often have galvanized pipes or cast iron that's reaching the end of its life. Newer areas might have builder-grade fixtures that need upgrading. And everywhere in between has water heaters that eventually wear out and drains that eventually clog.

Your plumbing keeps your home running. Hot showers, clean dishes, flushing toilets, washing clothes, all of that depends on everything working right. When something goes wrong, you need someone who can fix it quickly and do it right the first time.

That's what we do. No fancy marketing language. Just reliable plumbing service from people who actually live and work in Little Rock. Give us a call when you need a new water heater installed, when your drains are acting up, or when you've got any plumbing problem that needs fixing.
