Our Durable Tankless Water Heater Installation Services

Gottfried Plumbing handles the full scope of tankless water heater installation, from sizing and selection through final testing.

New Unit Installation

We install tankless hot water heaters for whole-home and point-of-use applications in both residential and commercial properties. Before any work begins, we assess your home’s current hot water demand, fuel source, and plumbing layout to confirm the right unit for your setup.

Tank to Tankless Conversion

Switching from a traditional tank to a tankless system involves venting changes, gas line adjustments, and updated water line connections. We handle the full conversion so the new unit meets current code requirements and performs at full output from day one.

Gas Line Assessment and Upgrade

Most older Boerne homes were built with gas lines sized for a traditional tank water heater. A tankless unit draws a higher BTU load. Therefore, a line that’s too small will starve the unit of gas, preventing it from reaching full output. As part of a tankless installation, a gas line assessment confirms the existing line can handle the new system. If an upgrade is needed, we handle that work.

Hard Water Protection

Local water hardness averages 15 to 20 grains per gallon from the Trinity Aquifer. Installing a new tankless heater without addressing that is a shortcut that costs you later. We assess your water softener or filtration setup during installation and ensure your new unit has the protection it needs from day one.

Hot Water Recirculating Pump Installation

A recirculating pump keeps hot water moving through your lines so it arrives instantly at distant fixtures. For larger homes in communities like Cordillera Ranch or Miralomas, where fixtures are spread out, adding a hot-water circulating pump removes the wait entirely.

It is Time to Replace Your Old Tankless Water Heater

A tankless unit past its useful life will keep costing you money in repairs and increasing energy bills until you replace it. Stop repairing and start fresh if:

Your unit is over 15 years old and has had multiple repairs in the last two years.
The same error codes keep returning within weeks of being cleared.
Hot water output has dropped, and repairs haven’t fixed it.
Your energy bills have gone up without a change in usage.
The heat exchanger has cracked or corroded beyond what a repair can fix.
The unit runs constantly, but still can’t keep up with your household’s demand.
Replacement parts for your model are no longer available.

Call (830) 331-2055 to talk to an expert.

Perks of a New Tankless Unit

A new tankless water heater is an upgrade in every practical sense, from the monthly bill to the space in your utility room.

A new unit heats water only when you need it, cutting standby energy loss.
You get continuous hot water with no recovery wait, even when multiple taps are running at the same time.
Modern tankless heaters are wall-mounted and compact, freeing up floor space previously taken up by a large tank.
A properly maintained tankless unit lasts 20 years or more, which is double the lifespan of a tank.
Qualifying high-output models may be eligible for the Federal 25C Tax Credit of up to $2,000.
A new unit paired with a water softener or filtration system improves water quality in the home.

Pick the Best Tankless Unit for Your Boerne Home

The right tankless unit depends on your home’s size, fuel source, and how many fixtures run at the same time. Here’s how the main options compare for homes in Boerne.

Gas-Fired Condensing Units

Gas condensing units are a common choice for homes with natural gas service. They produce high flow rates and handle whole-home demand well, including for large properties. However, they require proper venting and may need a gas line assessment before installation.

Electric Tankless Heaters

Electric tankless heaters work well as point-of-use systems for a single hot water faucet or as a whole-home solution in smaller properties. They are easier to install than gas units and do not require venting, but they need adequate electrical capacity to run at full output.

Whole-Home vs. Point-of-Use

A whole-home unit covers every fixture in the house from a single system. A point-of-use unit serves a single fixture or area. It works well as a supplement to a main system in large homes where the hot water travel distance causes delays.

Call (830) 331-2055. We will help you pick the right system for your property.

Maintain Your New Tankless Water Heater to Help It Last Longer

A new unit is only as good as the care it gets after installation.

In Boerne, regular tankless water heater maintenance is not optional. Calcium in water averages 15 to 20 grains per gallon. Without routine maintenance, minerals build up inside the heat exchanger, reducing your unit’s output and shortening its lifespan.

Homes without a water softener should plan a descaling service every 6 months. With a functioning softener, they can go 12 months between visits.

Staying on schedule protects your manufacturer’s warranty, keeps your unit at peak performance, and prevents costly repairs.

Call (830) 331-2055 to schedule a maintenance service.

The Cost of Tankless Installations

The cost of a tankless water heater installation in Boerne depends on the unit type, your home’s current setup, and the scope of the conversion work involved.

Electric Tankless Systems (Point-of-Use or Whole-Home): $1,400 to $3,000.
Gas Tankless (Whole-Home): $2,100 to $5,600.
Full Tank to Tankless Conversion: $3,500 to $5,500.
Labor: $600 to $2,500, depending on installation complexity, access, and the time needed for gas or electrical modifications.

Homeowners who install qualifying Energy Star-certified units may be eligible for the Federal 25C Tax Credit of up to $2,000. You get a written price before we start.

About Boerne TX

Boerne was founded in 1849 by German settlers who named it after the author Ludwig Börne when the town was platted in 1852. That German-Texan heritage is still woven into the fabric of the city today, from the Hill Country Mile’s stone-fronted storefronts to the Boerne Village Band.

The city has grown steadily over the years to over 18,000 residents. Development in neighborhoods like Cordillera Ranch and Esperanza has continued to bring new families and businesses into the area. Cascade Caverns and the Cave Without a Name draw visitors from across the state, while Cibolo Nature Center offers walking trails.

FAQs

What celebrities live in Boerne?

Boerne has drawn several notable residents over the years. Country legend George Strait owns the Less Ranch, a 2,200-acre property just outside of town. WWE Hall of Famer Bill Goldberg and NBA star Tony Parker have also been linked to the area.

What river runs through Boerne, TX?

Cibolo Creek runs through Boerne. It’s a Hill Country waterway that winds through the city, borders the downtown area, and flows through the Cibolo Nature Center’s 100-acre preserve.

Does insurance cover installing a new tankless water heater?

Standard homeowners insurance does not cover planned upgrades or replacements. If your unit failed suddenly due to a covered event, such as a burst pipe, some costs may be reimbursable. Check with your insurance provider directly before assuming coverage.

How fast can I get a tankless water heater installed?

In most cases, Gottfried Plumbing can schedule a new installation within one to two business days of the quote. Emergency replacements for your existing unit, if it has failed completely, can be prioritized.

Do I need a permit to install a new tankless water heater?

Yes. In Boerne, a permit is required for installing a new tankless water heater. Permits confirm the work meets local building and plumbing codes and protect you during a future home sale.

How often should a tankless water heater be replaced?

A well-maintained tankless unit lasts 20 years or more. In Boerne’s hard water conditions, proper maintenance is the biggest factor in reaching that lifespan.

Homeowners looking to maximize their investment can consult our Guide to Tankless Water Heaters for expert maintenance tips that help extend system longevity significantly.

Is a tankless water heater better than a tank water heater?

For most Boerne homeowners, yes. Tankless units eliminate standby energy loss, provide on-demand hot water, and last roughly twice as long as traditional water heaters. The upfront cost is higher, but the long-term energy savings and replacement costs make the switch worth it.
