Tankless water heaters are the height of home comfort and convenience. If you’ve upgraded to tankless hot water or are considering switching, Eck Services delivers professional tankless water heater services to help you maximize your investment.
We repair, maintain, and install tankless systems so you never run out of on-demand hot water again.
Why Choose an On-Demand Water Heater?
Unlike traditional water heaters that store and heat water in bulky tanks, tankless water heaters don’t start warming your water until you turn on your faucet. They offer a continuous supply of hot water, which means you never have to worry about running out while showering or doing chores. This not only provides convenience but also saves energy and reduces your utility bills.
For this reason, tankless water heaters have become increasingly popular amongst homeowners who want to save space and money with energy-efficient, on-demand hot water.
- Endless Hot Water Supply: Tankless water heaters are also known as on-demand water heaters because they start heating your water once you turn on your faucet. This means you don’t have to wait for stored water to warm up between uses.
- Energy Efficient: Since tankless water heaters only operate when hot water is needed, they consume less energy than traditional units that constantly heat and reheat stored water.
- Space Saving: It’s in their name — tankless water heaters don’t require 40-gallon reservoirs to store water like traditional units. In fact, most tankless units are wall-mounted for optimal convenience.
- Longevity: Tankless water heaters are a wise long-term investment. When properly installed and maintained by a professional plumbing company like Eck Services, they can last nearly twice as long as traditional systems. This longevity provides homeowners with a sense of security and confidence in their investment.

Frequently Asked Questions
PROS — tankless units last 15–20 years (vs. 8–12 for a tank); they're 8–34% more efficient on the same gallons of hot water; they save floor space; they deliver endless hot water at or below the rated GPM; and they qualify for ENERGY STAR/utility rebates. CONS — 2–3× the upfront cost of a tank; the flow rate is capped (a 9 GPM unit can't handle two showers + dishwasher at once); most need an upsized 3/4″ gas line and Category III stainless vent; and electric models need dedicated 120–200A feeds most homes don't have.
Depends on the GPM rating and your water temperature. Standard showers run 2.0–2.5 GPM at full flow (Repipe Solutions Inc.); two showers together = 4–5 GPM minimum. Rinnai and Navien size their residential whole-home tankless at 9–11 GPM — enough for two showers plus a kitchen faucet in warm-groundwater regions (Florida, Texas, Southern California where incoming water is 65–75°F). In cold-groundwater regions (Upper Midwest, New England where water drops to 40–45°F in winter), the same unit may only deliver 6–7 GPM because more heat is required per gallon. For a large family or multi-bathroom simultaneous use, spec an 11+ GPM unit or pair smaller units in parallel.
Some plumbers claim: (1) electric tankless won't work during a power outage — and most gas tankless still need power for the igniter and electronics, so they also don't work without electricity. (2) Without annual descaling, hard-water scale destroys the heat exchanger and voids warranty at year 5–7. (3) The installed cost recovers over 10–15 years on energy savings, so homeowners planning to move soon won't see the ROI. (4) For homes that use hot water in short bursts all day (large family, laundry-heavy), tank efficiency isn't actually that much worse than tankless. Informed buyers love them — buyers who weren't warned about maintenance regret them.
Tankless water heaters are known for superior longevity. With proper maintenance and care, they last an average of 20-25 years. This is nearly double the lifespan of traditional tank water heaters, which usually last 10 years or less.
