What To Expect From Our Tankless Installation Process
Once you decide to move forward, we will schedule the installation at a time that works for you. Before any work begins, we review the plan and pricing again, so you know exactly what will be done. If any updates to gas lines, venting, or electrical service are needed for safe operation, we clearly explain them and include them in the written estimate.
On installation day, our goal is to complete the work as efficiently as the home allows while treating your space with care. We shut off water and power to the existing heater, remove the old tank, and prepare the new mounting location. Then we connect water, gas, or electrical lines, and venting according to applicable requirements and manufacturer instructions.
After everything is in place, we restore water, test for leaks, and verify that the unit is heating correctly. Before we leave, we will show you how to operate the new system, adjust temperature settings, and recognize basic maintenance indicators. We clean up our work area and haul away the old heater. If any questions come up later, you can call us, and we will talk them through. Our work is supported by our satisfaction guarantee, so if something is not right with our installation, we work to make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If A Tankless Water Heater Is Right For My Home?
The best way to know is to have a plumber look at your home and discuss how your family uses hot water. We typically consider the number of people in the household, how many bathrooms you have, and whether you often run showers, laundry, and dishes at the same time. We also check your existing gas or electrical capacity and the plumbing route, especially in older or under-slab homes. During a free on-site estimate, our team at Saia Plumbing Inc. reviews these factors and explains whether a tankless system is a good match or if a traditional tank might be more practical. You then have the information you need to make a decision without any pressure.
Will I Be Without Hot Water All Day During Installation?
You can expect some downtime while we remove your old unit and connect the new one, but it usually doesn't take the entire day from your perspective. The exact duration depends on how complex your installation is, including any gas, venting, or electrical updates required. We explain the expected timeline before work begins and schedule the job at a time that works for your household. On installation day, we work to keep the period without hot water as short as possible within the project's constraints. Our goal is to have your new system up, tested, and ready as efficiently as possible while maintaining quality.
How Much Does A Tankless Water Heater Installation Usually Cost?
The cost can vary from home to home, which is why we provide free on-site estimates instead of quoting a single number over the phone. Factors that influence price include the size of the unit your family needs, the location of your current heater, the condition and size of your gas or electrical service, and the distance we need to run venting or piping. During our visit, we review all these details and provide an itemized estimate that includes equipment, labor, and any additional work required. With Saia Plumbing Inc., you get upfront pricing, no hidden fees, and a clear explanation of what you are paying for before you decide to move forward.
Can You Install A Tankless System In An Older Metairie House?
In many older homes, a tankless system can be installed with the right planning, but each house needs its own evaluation. Older Metairie properties often have under-slab plumbing or limited space where the old tank sits, so we pay close attention to access for water, gas, and venting. Sometimes, minor updates are enough to support a tankless unit, and sometimes the work involved may make a traditional tank more practical. When we visit, we check these conditions and explain what would be required for your specific home. Our goal is to give you a realistic picture instead of promising that every house is a simple conversion.
What Kind Of Maintenance Does A Tankless Water Heater Need?
Tankless units generally require regular descaling and basic maintenance to run efficiently, especially in areas with hard water. Many manufacturers recommend periodic flushing of the heat exchanger, inspection of filters, and venting. The exact schedule can depend on your water quality and how much hot water your household uses. During installation, we explain what maintenance your unit needs and how often it is typically done. If you prefer not to handle it yourself, you can contact Saia Plumbing Inc. in the future, and we can discuss service options that fit your home.
Will a tankless unit really save me money on my energy bills?
Many homeowners see lower energy bills with tankless units because these systems heat water on demand rather than keeping a large tank hot all day. Savings are often most noticeable in homes that use moderate amounts of hot water throughout the day rather than heavy peak usage for short periods. However, the exact impact on your bill depends on your local energy rates, your family’s habits, and the efficiency of the unit you choose. During our estimate, we talk about these variables and give you a realistic idea of what to expect. We focus on honest information, not guaranteed savings numbers.
