While it can hook up to existing lines, tankless heaters typically demand a much higher volume of gas (higher BTUs) in short bursts compared to traditional tank heaters. A plumber must verify that your current gas line diameter and gas meter capacity can handle the increased load.
Generally, no. When you supply your own appliance, the installer will usually only guarantee their labor and the connections they made. If the unit malfunctions or has a factory defect, you will need to process the claim directly through the manufacturer's warranty.
Sizing is based on flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and the temperature rise needed for your climate. A house with three bathrooms will require a unit with a high enough GPM to supply hot water to multiple fixtures running simultaneously (e.g., two showers and a sink).
Tankless systems require specific water pressure and flow parameters to activate and operate efficiently. An inspection ensures your broader plumbing system is free of underlying leaks, pressure issues, or sediment problems that could damage the new high-efficiency unit.
Yes. Gas tankless water heaters require specialized venting (often concentric vents or PVC, depending on the efficiency rating) to safely exhaust combustion gases outdoors. They cannot simply use the old metal B-vent from a standard tank water heater.
