Tankless Water Heater Installation in the East Valley
A gas tankless water heater delivers hot water on demand instead of storing it in a tank, with a smaller footprint and improved energy efficiency. A&K installs gas tankless water heaters for East Valley homes and businesses.
A standard water heater keeps a tank of hot water heated and ready around the clock, which uses energy even when nobody's using hot water. A gas tankless system heats water only when it's needed, which can mean lower operating costs, a more compact unit, and hot water that doesn't run out partway through a long shower.
A&K installs and recommends gas tankless water heaters for East Valley homes and businesses, and can help determine whether a tankless system makes sense for your home, plumbing setup, and hot water needs.
What Is a Tankless Water Heater?
Unlike a traditional water heater, which stores and continuously reheats a tank of water, a tankless water heater heats water directly as it flows through the unit. A&K installs gas tankless systems, which we recommend over electric tankless units for better performance and reliability in most homes. Gas tankless systems also take up significantly less space than a standard tank.
Tankless vs. Traditional Tank Water Heaters
A tank water heater keeps a set amount of hot water ready at all times, which means it's always using some energy to maintain that temperature, and it can run out of hot water during heavy use. A tankless system heats water on demand, so hot water doesn't run out, and it typically uses less energy overall since it isn't heating a full tank around the clock.
Tankless systems also have a smaller footprint, which can free up space in a garage, closet, or utility area, and they tend to last longer than a standard tank, though upfront installation costs are usually higher.
Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for Your Home?
Hard water is common across the East Valley, and it affects tankless water heaters the same way it affects standard tank units. Mineral buildup can accumulate inside the system over time and affect performance. A&K can talk through what that means for your specific setup, including whether a water softener or filtration system makes sense alongside a tankless installation.

Tankless Water Heater Frequently Asked Questions
-
Pricing depends on the unit type, fuel source, installation conditions, and whether any existing plumbing, gas, or electrical work needs to be adjusted for the new system. The best way to get an accurate number is an on-site evaluation, but we're happy to talk through a ballpark first.
-
In most cases, yes, though the existing gas line, electrical setup, or venting may need to be adjusted depending on the unit. A&K can evaluate your current setup and let you know what's involved.
-
Yes. Because of the hard water across the East Valley, we recommend having a tankless water heater serviced and flushed annually to protect performance and extend the life of the system.
-
It depends on the household's hot water demand and the size of the unit. A&K can help determine whether a single unit covers your household's needs or whether a different setup makes more sense.
-
We most commonly install and recommend Navien tankless water heaters. Navien is a leader in the market for efficiency and features like built-in recirculation, which helps deliver hot water to fixtures faster.
-
A&K installs and recommends gas tankless water heaters. Gas systems perform more reliably and hold up better over time than electric tankless units. If your home runs on electric only, a tankless system usually isn't the best fit at all, there are typically better water heating options for electric homes, and we can help you figure out what makes the most sense for your setup.
