Why Homeowners & Businesses Choose Us For Tankless Installation

Choosing who installs your tankless system matters just as much as the brand you buy. A tankless water heater has to be sized correctly, connected safely, and installed with your plumbing and gas or electric service in mind. At PureFlo, we bring two generations of plumbing and water experience to every project, which helps us design and install systems that work well in real life, not just on paper.

Our team has more than 50 years of combined experience focused on water treatment, filtration, and water heaters. That background helps us understand how hot water systems behave over time in this area, especially in homes and businesses that have hard water or sediment issues. We use that knowledge to recommend tankless setups that are more reliable and easier to live with.

All work is completed by our own licensed professionals. We never use subcontractors, so you always know who is in your home or business and who to talk to if you have questions. Customers across the region have noticed the difference. We hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and maintain strong 5 star ratings on Yelp, where people consistently mention clean installations, thoughtful explanations, and a no pressure approach.

Every tankless project begins with a complimentary estimate. We take time to learn how many people use hot water in your home or how your business uses water throughout the day, then we walk you through your options. We focus on honest recommendations, clear timelines, and best in class products, so you can feel confident about your investment from the first visit through final testing.

Is A Tankless Water Heater Right For Your Pittsburg Property?

Many homeowners and business owners have heard about tankless systems but are not sure if they are the right fit. A tankless water heater works differently from a traditional storage tank. Instead of heating a large tank of water and keeping it hot all day, a tankless unit heats water as it flows through the system, which is why people often call it an on demand water heater.

For many properties in Pittsburg and nearby communities, this approach can be a strong upgrade. Families that run multiple showers in the morning, do laundry while running the dishwasher, or host frequent guests often appreciate the ability to have continuous hot water, as long as the system is sized correctly. Small businesses, such as salons, restaurants, or offices, may like the compact size and ability to handle ongoing hot water use without a large storage tank in the way.

There are important factors to review before choosing a tankless system. We look at your current gas or electrical service, venting options, number of bathrooms, distance between the heater and fixtures, and how many fixtures may be running at the same time. These details help us choose the right capacity and configuration so you are not left waiting for hot water during busy times.

Local water conditions also matter. East Contra Costa County often has hard water, which can create scale inside water heaters over time. Because we work with water softeners and filtration systems every day, we can explain how water quality may influence your tankless system and what steps can help protect it. If you are unsure whether tankless is a good match for your property, we are happy to visit, review your current setup, and talk through your options during a free estimate.

Our Tankless Water Heater Installation Process

Knowing what will happen during installation can make the decision to upgrade much easier. We follow an organized, step by step process that keeps you informed and helps reduce downtime without hot water. From the first phone call to the moment we test your new tankless unit, our focus is on clear communication and careful workmanship.

Here is how our installation process typically works:

• Free in person estimate. We start by visiting your home or business to inspect your current water heater, plumbing connections, gas or electric service, and venting path. We also ask about your hot water habits, such as how many people live in the home, what times of day you use the most hot water, and whether you have had issues with running out.
• System sizing and recommendations. Based on what we learn, we recommend tankless options that match your demand and physical space. We explain differences between models in everyday language, so you understand factors like capacity and efficiency without needing a technical background.
• Clear estimate and scheduling. We provide a written estimate that outlines the work involved. This may include removal of the old heater, any gas or electrical modifications, new venting, and optional water treatment adjustments. We schedule the installation for a time that works for you and explain how long the work is expected to take.
• Professional installation day. On installation day, our licensed professionals arrive on time, protect work areas, shut off utilities as needed, and remove your old water heater. We install the new tankless unit, connect plumbing and gas or electric lines, complete venting, and follow applicable code requirements for the Pittsburg and East Bay region.
• Testing and walkthrough. After installation, we test the system at multiple fixtures to confirm correct operation and check for leaks. We then walk you through how to use the controls, explain basic maintenance needs, and answer any questions before we clean up the work area.

Because we never use subcontractors, the same company that provides your estimate also completes the installation. This helps keep your project consistent from start to finish. Our customers often note that our installations are neat and thoughtfully laid out, which can help with future access and service.

Benefits Of Upgrading To A Tankless System

Switching from a traditional tank to a tankless unit is a significant upgrade, so it helps to understand what you gain. For many people in this area, the advantages are both practical and long term. When we review tankless options during your estimate, we focus on benefits that match your home or business, not just general talking points.

One of the biggest changes you notice is the ability to enjoy continuous hot water when the system is sized correctly. Instead of relying on a fixed amount of stored hot water, a tankless heater warms water as it passes through the unit. This can be especially helpful for larger households, or for times when showers, laundry, and dishwashing all happen close together.

Space savings is another benefit. Tankless units are compact and usually mounted on a wall, which can free up floor space in garages, utility rooms, or closets. For small businesses or homes with limited storage areas, that extra room can be valuable.

Efficiency is also an important factor. Many older tank style water heaters constantly heat and reheat water in the tank, even when you are not using it. A tankless system only heats water when a tap is open, which can help reduce wasted energy compared to an older unit that is near the end of its service life. Actual energy savings depend on your current system, how much hot water you use, and the model you choose, and we explain these details during your estimate.

With proper installation and attention to water quality, tankless water heaters can have a long service life. Our background in water treatment allows us to talk honestly about how hard water, sediment, and maintenance influence system longevity. When it makes sense, we can pair your tankless system with softening or filtration solutions to help you get the most from your investment.

Tankless Water Heaters & Local Water Quality

Water quality has a big impact on any water heater, especially tankless systems that use narrow passageways and high efficiency heat exchangers. Properties in and around Pittsburg often have hard water, which means there is a higher level of dissolved minerals like calcium and magnesium. Over time, these minerals can leave scale deposits inside plumbing fixtures, appliances, and water heaters.

Because PureFlo is a water treatment focused company, we see how hard water and sediment affect equipment every day. Scale buildup inside a tankless unit can reduce efficiency, restrict water flow, and contribute to premature wear if it is not addressed. By looking at the whole water system instead of just the heater, we work to recommend setups that support both hot water performance and overall water quality.

Ways our water treatment background supports your tankless installation:

• Evaluating hardness and sediment. During your estimate, we can discuss signs of hard water, such as spots on dishes or scale on fixtures, and how those conditions relate to your water heater.
• Pairing systems thoughtfully. For many customers, combining a tankless water heater with a water softener or whole home filtration system helps reduce scale buildup and extends the life of both the heater and plumbing fixtures.
• Selecting advanced products. We carefully review water treatment technologies and install advanced systems from trusted brands. This same attention to quality guides the tankless equipment we recommend.
• Providing maintenance guidance. We explain how often descaling or flushing may be needed based on your water conditions, and we can assist with ongoing service when requested.

By considering local water quality as part of your tankless project, we help you avoid common problems that can show up years after installation. This whole system approach is one of the key differences you get when you work with a company that works on water systems every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a tankless water heater a good fit for my Pittsburg home?

A tankless water heater can be a strong fit for many homes in this area, but the answer depends on your layout and how you use hot water. During a free estimate, we look at your current water heater location, number of bathrooms, and how many fixtures you tend to use at the same time. We also consider whether your home has natural gas, propane, or electric service available for the new unit. In some cases, a single whole home tankless unit is ideal, and in other homes, multiple units or a different configuration may be worth discussing. Our goal is to help you understand which options make sense for your specific home instead of giving a one size fits all answer.

How long will tankless water heater installation take?

Most residential tankless installations are completed in a day, although the exact time depends on your existing setup and any modifications required. If your current water heater location already has appropriate gas or electric service and venting, the process is usually more straightforward. When upgrades are needed, such as new venting routes or gas line adjustments, the installation can take longer because we work carefully to meet code requirements and manufacturer guidelines. Before we schedule your project, we explain what we expect the timeline to look like based on what we see during your estimate. Our team works efficiently, and we communicate with you about when water will be shut off and when you can expect hot water again.

What affects the cost of installing a tankless water heater?

The cost of installing a tankless system is influenced by several factors, which is why we start with a free in person estimate instead of a one price fits all quote. The size and type of unit you choose, such as gas or electric and its capacity, is one part of the overall cost. The amount of work needed to remove the old heater, update gas or electric lines, install venting, and connect plumbing also plays a role. In some cases, customers choose to add or adjust water treatment equipment, which can affect total project cost. During your estimate, we explain each part of the installation so you understand what is driving the price and where there may be options.

Can you replace my existing tank water heater with a tankless unit?

We regularly help customers upgrade from traditional tank style heaters to tankless systems. In many homes and businesses, it is possible to use the general location of the old heater, but we still need to confirm that gas or electric service and venting are suitable for a tankless unit. Our licensed professionals inspect your current installation, look at clearance and wall space, and determine what modifications are necessary to support the new equipment safely. When we present your estimate, we outline the work involved in the conversion so you know what to expect. If we see that your existing location is not ideal, we discuss alternative placements and explain the pros and cons of each choice.

How does hard water in this area affect tankless water heaters?

Hard water is common in many parts of East Contra Costa County, and it can affect tankless systems by leaving mineral scale inside the heat exchanger and piping. Over time, this buildup can reduce efficiency, restrict water flow, and increase the need for maintenance. As a water treatment focused company, we talk openly about these issues and offer options to help manage them. That may mean recommending a water softener, a whole home filter, or a specific maintenance schedule based on your water conditions. By addressing hard water as part of your tankless project, we work to support better performance and help protect your investment.

What kind of maintenance will my new tankless water heater need?

A tankless water heater typically requires periodic maintenance to keep it running well, and the exact schedule depends on your water quality and how much hot water you use. Common maintenance tasks include flushing the system to remove scale and checking filters or screens inside the unit. During installation, we explain what the manufacturer recommends for your particular model and what signs to watch for that may indicate service is needed. Some homeowners choose to handle basic flushing themselves, while others prefer to have our licensed professionals take care of it. We are happy to discuss maintenance options so you can choose an approach that fits your comfort level.
