Why tankless makes sense — when it does.
A tankless heater fires up only when you turn on hot water. No standing 50 gallons hot 24/7 just in case. For most DFW households, that's a 25–35% gas-bill drop, plus the floor space back. The unit itself lasts 18–22 years versus 10–12 for a tank.
It's a great call when:
- You run out of hot water during back-to-back showers
- Your tank is leaking and you'd be replacing anyway
- You want garage or closet space back
- You're in your house long enough to recoup the upgrade (~6–8 years)
Brands we install — and why.
We install three brands and stand by all three: Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem. Each has its niche.
The reliability pick
Best parts availability in Texas. Fewer warranty headaches. Our default for most installs.
The high-output pick
Higher GPM at lower temperature rise. Best choice for big homes with multiple simultaneous showers.
The value pick
Solid mid-tier with good warranty support. Tighter budgets without compromising on the install.
15-yr heat exchanger warranty
Manufacturer-backed, plus our 1-year workmanship guarantee on top.
What we check before quoting.
A tankless quote without these inspections is a guess. Ours always includes:
- Gas line capacity — most pre-2010 DFW homes need an upgrade for a 199k BTU unit
- Venting path — concentric, twin-pipe, or condensing vent run
- Water hardness — Dallas water averages 7–10 grains; we'll spec a softener or scale filter accordingly
- Electrical — most modern tankless units need a 120V outlet within 6 ft
