A conventional tank water heater heats 40 to 50 gallons of water and keeps it hot continuously, day and night, whether you're using it or not. That standby heat loss accounts for 20% to 30% of the unit's energy consumption. When multiple people shower, run the dishwasher, and do laundry within an hour, the tank runs out and everyone waits 30 to 45 minutes for recovery. Sediment also builds up on the heating element over time, reducing efficiency year over year. Most tank heaters in the Kirkland area last 8 to 10 years before they start leaking.
A tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through the heat exchanger. There's no stored water to keep hot, so standby loss drops to near zero — most households see 24% to 34% energy savings. You can run two showers and the dishwasher simultaneously without losing hot water, as long as the unit is properly sized. Gas tankless units typically deliver 8 to 11 gallons per minute; electric units deliver 3 to 5 GPM. Properly maintained, a tankless water heater lasts 15 to 20 years — roughly double a tank unit. The tradeoff is higher upfront cost and the need for annual flushing to clear sediment and maintain flow (homes on Redmond's harder groundwater wells should flush more often to prevent scale in the heat exchanger).
We calculate your peak flow rate — how many fixtures run simultaneously — to size the right unit. Undersized tankless systems are the number one complaint, and we prevent it by measuring.
Gas tankless delivers higher flow rates and is ideal for whole-house use. Electric tankless works for smaller homes or point-of-use applications. We discuss both options and costs.
Gas units may require a gas line upgrade (¾" to 1") and a dedicated vent. Electric units may need a panel upgrade. We assess what your home needs before quoting.
We pull the City of Kirkland permit, install the unit, run any gas or electrical upgrades, and schedule the required inspection.
We flush the unit, set the temperature, and schedule your first annual maintenance visit.
We'll assess your home and give you a clear quote for tankless installation. No pressure, no upsell — just the right unit for your household.
