Is Tankless Right for You?

Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
Expert workmanship icon

Endless Hot Water

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand as it flows through the unit. You never run out of hot water, even when multiple showers, the dishwasher, and laundry are running at the same time.

Dollar sign savings icon

Lower Energy Bills

Because tankless units only heat water when you need it, they eliminate the standby energy loss of keeping a tank hot 24/7. Most homeowners save 20-30% on water heating costs after switching to tankless.

Longer Lifespan

Tankless water heaters typically last 15-20 years with proper maintenance, nearly double the lifespan of a traditional tank water heater. That means fewer replacements over the life of your home.

Space Savings

Tankless units mount on the wall and are about the size of a small suitcase. They free up valuable floor space in your utility room, garage, or closet compared to a bulky 50-80 gallon tank.

Cleaner Hot Water

Without a storage tank where rust and sediment can accumulate, tankless water heaters deliver fresher, cleaner hot water every time you turn on the tap.

Tankless Water Heater Costs in Fort Smith

Tankless water heaters cost more upfront than traditional tank units, but they last longer and deliver significant energy savings over time. Here’s what Fort Smith homeowners can expect:

  • Gas Tankless Water Heater: $2,500–$5,000+ installed
  • Electric Tankless Water Heater: $1,800–$3,500 installed
  • Whole-House Tankless Unit: $3,000–$5,500+ installed
  • Point-of-Use Tankless Unit: $500–$1,500 installed

Why go tankless? Tankless water heaters heat water on demand — no standby energy losses from keeping a tank hot 24/7. They last 20+ years (vs. 10–12 for tank units) and can save Fort Smith homeowners $80–$100+ per year on utility bills.

Installation costs vary based on whether you’re converting from a tank system (which may require gas line upgrades, new venting, or electrical work) vs. a straight tankless-to-tankless swap.

Our Tankless Water Heater Installation Process

Installing a tankless water heater requires more expertise than a standard tank swap. Here’s how Riverside Heating Air Plumbing handles it:

1. Hot Water Demand Assessment
We calculate your household’s peak hot water demand — how many showers, faucets, and appliances run simultaneously — to size the right tankless unit for your home.

2. Site Inspection & Planning
We evaluate your current gas line capacity, electrical panel, venting setup, and water line configuration. If you’re converting from a tank system, we identify what modifications are needed.

3. Transparent Quote
You receive a detailed estimate covering the tankless unit, any gas line or electrical upgrades, venting modifications, permits, and labor. No surprises.

4. Professional Installation
Our licensed technicians handle the complete installation — mounting the unit, connecting gas/water/electrical lines, installing proper venting, and removing your old tank water heater.

5. System Calibration & Testing
We calibrate your new tankless unit’s temperature settings, test flow rates at multiple fixtures, verify gas connections, and ensure the unit activates properly on demand.

6. Owner Training
We walk you through your new system’s controls, explain the maintenance schedule (annual flushing is recommended), and review warranty details.

Tankless installations typically take 4–6 hours. Call (479) 616-1364 to schedule your consultation.

FAQs

Tankless Water Heater FAQ

When you turn on a hot water faucet, cold water flows through the tankless unit where a gas burner or electric element heats it instantly. Hot water is delivered continuously as long as the tap is open, without storing water in a tank. When the tap is turned off, the unit shuts down, saving energy.
Yes. A properly sized whole-home tankless water heater can supply multiple fixtures simultaneously. During our consultation, we calculate your peak hot water demand to ensure the unit we install can handle your household needs, even during high-usage times like morning routines.
Yes, annual descaling is recommended, especially in areas with hard water like Fort Smith. Mineral scale can build up inside the heat exchanger and reduce efficiency over time. Our annual maintenance service flushes the system with a descaling solution to keep it running at peak performance and protect your warranty.
Most tankless water heaters require electricity for the control board and ignition, even gas models. During a power outage, the unit will not operate unless you have a backup power source like a generator or battery backup.
With proper annual maintenance, tankless water heaters typically last 15-20 years. Many manufacturers offer 10-15 year warranties on the heat exchanger. This is nearly double the lifespan of a traditional 8-12 year tank water heater.
That depends on your current setup. Gas tankless units may need a larger gas line and dedicated venting. Electric models may require an electrical panel upgrade. Our free in-home consultation evaluates your home and identifies any conversion work needed so you get an accurate estimate upfront.
