Tankless Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Happy Home Services installs and replaces gas and electric tankless water heaters for homes across Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and the greater Triangle. A tankless system heats water on demand instead of storing a limited supply, so the hot water does not run out mid-shower and a bulky tank stops taking up floor space.

Tankless Water Heater Installation Services
Whether you are replacing an aging tankless unit or switching over from a traditional tank water heater for the first time, our plumbers handle both gas and electric tankless installations. Tankless systems heat water only when a fixture calls for it rather than keeping a full tank hot around the clock. For homes using 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, that typically means 24 to 34 percent better efficiency than a standard tank, and tankless units often last more than 20 years compared to a traditional tank’s 10 to 15.
Signs You Need a New Tankless Water Heater
Watch for these signals that your current unit is due for replacement:
- Water that takes too long to heat, or does not warm up at all
- Frequent repairs or recurring error codes
- Water temperature that fluctuates when multiple fixtures run at once
- Mineral buildup or scale affecting performance
- Hot water that comes out rusty or discolored
- Leaks, puddles, or corrosion near the unit
- A unit that has passed the 12-year mark

FAQs
How much does a new tankless water heater cost?
The main cost drivers are unit type, fuel source, and flow rate. A whole-home system costs more than a point-of-use unit, gas models cost more to install because of venting and gas line requirements but less to run, and higher flow rates and efficiency ratings raise the upfront price. We provide a specific quote after assessing your home, with financing options available.
How long does tankless water heater installation take?
Most installations are completed within a few hours. Jobs that require plumbing modifications, a new gas line, or an electrical panel upgrade sometimes run across two days, and we give you a clear timeline before any work starts.
Will a new tankless water heater lower my energy bills?
Often, yes. Because tankless systems heat water on demand rather than keeping a full tank hot all day, they typically use less energy overall, and homeowners have reported energy savings of up to 30 percent after switching from a traditional tank.
What are the benefits of installing a tankless water heater?
Homeowners get an effectively endless hot water supply, better energy efficiency than a tank, and a compact wall-mounted unit that frees up floor space. Tankless units also carry a longer expected lifespan, and removing the stored tank removes the risk of a tank rupture flooding the home.
How do I choose the right type of tankless water heater?
It comes down to your household’s hot water demand, home layout, energy source, and budget. Electric units install more easily and suit smaller households, gas units serve larger households with higher demand, and point-of-use units deliver near-instant hot water at a single fixture. Our plumbers walk you through the trade-offs and size the system to your home.
