Common questions

What is the downside to tankless water heaters?

Tankless water heaters can have a higher initial cost. Some older homes may require upgrades to gas or electrical lines. They also have a flow rate limitation, which can affect simultaneous use of multiple fixtures.

Yes, with a sufficiently sized tankless unit. We help you choose a model that meets your household's hot water demand. This ensures you can run multiple showers. It's a common requirement for families in areas like St. Petersburg.

How long do hot water heaters typically last?
