Water heaters
Tankless water heaters
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of storing it. Installation involves sizing for your peak flow, often upsizing the gas line, new venting, and altitude settings for Colorado. They need periodic descaling.
- Typical time
- About a day.
- Repair or replace
- An upgrade when replacing a tank.
Output drops as incoming water gets colder, so winter groundwater temperatures matter for sizing in Northern Colorado.
Condensing units are efficient and vent with PVC; non-condensing units need stainless venting.
