Tankless — Not the Hassles of the Traditional Models of the Past

The biggest difference between the two models is that the tankless option only heats water when you actually need it. That saves money and space. There is no giant and bulky tank like with traditional models. Plus, tankless water heaters give you an endless supply of hot water and never run out. 

For many Rancho Cordova homeowners, that on-demand performance also means fewer arguments over shower schedules and no waiting for a tank to refill before you can do dishes or laundry. Because tankless units are compact and wall-mounted, they are a smart fit for smaller Midtown homes, garages that double as workspaces, or accessory dwelling units where every square foot matters. With proper installation and routine flushing, these systems are designed to serve your household for many years, so the comfort and energy savings can continue well beyond the first season you use them.

Full-Service Tankless Water Heater Installation

Bud’s Plumbing, Heating, & Air crew members go through ongoing education and training throughout the year. That’s why we are one of the only crews in the area that have the know-how to install tankless heaters. We do it all, and if you ever have any questions, we are available to provide real answers. 

When we install a new tankless system, we start by reviewing your Rancho Cordova home’s layout, gas or electrical capacity, and hot water usage to size the unit correctly and place it in a safe, efficient location. Our crew handles everything from removing your old water heater to making the necessary gas, water, and vent connections in line with local building codes, so you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors. Before we leave, we will walk you through how to use your new controls, set temperatures, and maintain your unit so you feel confident with your upgrade.

Reclaim valuable garage or closet space by replacing your bulky old tank with a compact, wall-mounted heating solution. Contact us at (916) 741-6799 or fill out our online form.

What To Expect During Your Tankless Installation Day

Knowing what happens on installation day can make the switch to a tankless system feel much less stressful. When you schedule with Bud’s Plumbing, Heating, & Air, we provide a clear arrival window and walk you through any prep work, such as clearing a path to your current water heater or moving items out of the installation area. Our crew shows up in marked vehicles, protects your floors and work areas, and introduces themselves before getting started so you feel comfortable having us in your home.

Once we are set up, we shut off water, gas, and power to the old unit and safely remove it from your home, taking care around tight Rancho Cordova basements or garages that may have limited access. We then mount the new tankless heater, complete all gas, water, and venting connections in accordance with local code, and coordinate any required permits or inspections with the city, if needed. Before we wrap up, we restore all utilities, test every fixture for proper hot water delivery, and clean up our work area so your home looks as tidy as when we arrived.

Before we leave, we take time to answer questions and give you a simple overview of routine maintenance, such as how often to flush the system in neighborhoods with harder water, like parts of North Rancho Cordova or Elk Grove. If you ever need help after we are gone, you can reach our office for follow-up questions or to schedule future service, and our records of your installation details make any future visits more efficient. Our aim is for you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your new system from the very first day you use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Tankless Water Heater Installation Usually Take?

Most residential tankless installations are completed in a single day, though more complex projects can take longer. The total time depends on factors such as the condition of your existing plumbing, whether we are relocating the unit, and the type of gas or electrical upgrades needed. Homes in older Rancho Cordova neighborhoods may require extra time to bring lines or venting up to current code, but we discuss this with you during your estimate so you know what to expect.

Do I Need a Permit for a Tankless Water Heater in Rancho Cordova?

In many cases, a permit is required when you replace a water heater, especially if gas lines, venting, or electrical work are involved. Local building departments in the Rancho Cordova area use permits to help ensure that installations meet safety and code requirements. We can explain what your specific project is likely to require and can help coordinate the permit and inspection process as part of your installation, so you do not have to manage it on your own.

How Often Should a Tankless Water Heater Be Serviced?

Most manufacturers recommend having a tankless water heater inspected and flushed once a year, though homes with very hard water may benefit from more frequent service. Regular descaling and checks help maintain efficiency, reduce the risk of error codes, and extend the life of internal components. Because water quality can vary across the Rancho Cordova region, a technician can suggest a maintenance schedule based on your neighborhood and the specific model installed in your home.

As preparation for the summer heat we always have our HVAC unit serviced and inspected for any issues. After reading up on reviews, and receiving multiple quotes, we decided to go with Bud’s. The technicians found no issues and even helped me configure our Nest Thermostat. It turns out our home being older it is not equipped with a Common C-Wire. When the technicians left, our AC was blowing cold and strong. After a few days we realized water dripping and the AC going in and out. It turned out the Nest configuration was overworking the blower motor and it had gone out. I called Bud’s and asked them to come out and help us resolve the problem. Moana quickly responded and on the same day Axel showed up at our door with portable AC units while we waited for the part to come in. Although uncertain of the actual cause for the failure of the blower motor, Moana offered to cover the entire cost of the service and fortunately for us the part was still under warranty. Bud’s showed up when it mattered most and with no hesitation to show that they wanted nothing more than to help. My family and I could not be more impressed and grateful. Thank you for your efficient response and kindness you have shown our family. Highly recommend Bud’s for all your plumbing and HVAC needs.

Buds plumbing was amazing!! All staff is super friendly and easy to talk to. I was connected with Axel regarding my tankless water heater that was not working and ignitor coil needed to be replaced. Axel followed up with me like he said he would until part was received. The weekend was coming up and I was afraid I would have to wait till Monday to get hot water.. but Axel followed up with me like he said. It's nice to know you can count on someone 7 days a-week and to keep their word means a lot.

I've used this company since 2007 (Ibought my house in 2006) for all my plumbing issues. They were recommended to me by my neighbors and others who have been long standing clients, all who continue to be more than satisfied with their work.
