Tankless Water Heaters in Des Moines: what is different here

In a Des Moines hillside home above Puget Sound, the water heater may share a cramped lower level with storage. Near Redondo or the Saltwater State Park area, a wall-mounted tankless unit can win back floor space. Our base is about 35 minutes away on I-5 north. Check with the City of Des Moines about permits.

How the job runs

  1. Check supply and venting

    We check your gas or electric supply, venting path and water lines. Tankless units need more fuel than most tanks.
  2. Size and price

    We size the unit to how many taps you run at once and give a flat-rate price before work begins.
  3. Install or repair

    We mount the unit, run venting and connections, and add service valves so it can be descaled later.
  4. Test and show you

    We test flow and temperature at your taps, check for leaks, clean up and show you how the unit works.
