Why Tankless
Built for Scottsdale homes & hard water
Scottsdale's municipal water is very hard — 275–430 ppm of untreated mineral content. Properly sized and maintained, a modern tankless system handles those conditions far better than an aging tank prone to sediment and corrosion.
-
Endless Hot Water
On-demand heating means no more cold surprises mid-shower or running out during back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishes.
-
Up To 30% Energy Savings
Gas units like the Navien NPE-240A2 hit ~0.95 UEF vs. 0.60–0.70 for standard tanks — typically 20–30% lower water-heating bills.
-
Space-Saving Design
Compact, wall-mounted units free up the closet, garage, or attic space a bulky 50-gallon tank used to fill.
-
20+ Year Lifespan
Tankless units last 20+ years with proper maintenance — nearly double the 8–15 year lifespan of a traditional tank.
-
Hard Water Ready
Scottsdale water runs 275–430 ppm. With the right filtration and annual descaling, tankless handles it better than aging tanks.
-
Lower Emissions
Less energy use means a smaller carbon footprint, and high-efficiency condensing models produce lower NOx emissions.

FAQs
Common questions
How long does tankless water heater installation take in Scottsdale?
A standard tank replacement runs 2–6 hours. A full tank-to-tankless conversion generally takes 4–8 hours or more. Gas-line upgrades, electrical panel modifications for electric models, venting, and permit inspections can extend the timeline. Scottsdale requires a plumbing permit for every water heater installation.
Do tankless water heaters work well with Scottsdale's hard water?
Yes — with the right maintenance plan. Scottsdale's high mineral content (275–430 ppm, sometimes over 400 ppm) can accelerate scale buildup, reducing flow and degrading the heat exchanger. We recommend annual descaling, a pre-filter or whole-house softener, and regular flow-sensor inspection. Without these measures, manufacturer warranties can be shortened or voided. If hot-water piping exceeds a specific distance, Scottsdale also mandates a demand-initiated recirculation system.
What's the difference between Navien gas and Trutankless electric?
The Navien NPE-240A2 is a condensing gas unit (up to 199,900 BTU/hr) delivering 11.2 GPM at a 35°F rise — enough for large homes with simultaneous showers. It runs at ~0.95 UEF and saves roughly $120/year on gas vs. a 50-gallon tank. The Trutankless GEN3 Electric is a 28-lb wall-mounted electric unit — no gas, no venting, no combustion air. It delivers up to 7.5 GPM on a 200-amp service. Electric installs may require breaker, wiring, or subpanel upgrades adding $1,000–$2,000.
Which unit is right for my home?
For large Scottsdale and Phoenix-area homes with high simultaneous demand, Navien gas is usually the best fit. For condos, smaller homes, or all-electric households, Trutankless electric offers a reliable, space-saving alternative. We'll size and recommend based on your actual hot-water needs and budget.
Is a tankless upgrade worth it if my current heater still works?
Replacing a water heater is generally recommended once repair costs exceed about half its replacement cost. Standard gas and electric tanks last 10–15 years; tankless units last 10–20+ years. If your system is aging, upgrading to tankless is often the most cost-effective long-term path.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Always. The City of Scottsdale requires a plumbing permit for every water heater replacement, and installation must comply with strict plumbing and mechanical codes. We pull every permit ($50–$200), handle venting and T&P requirements, and schedule inspections so nothing is left uncovered.
