Increased Energy Efficiency

A big appeal of tankless water heater systems is that they only heat water when it is needed. Traditional tank water heaters heat their water supply continuously so that it is ready for you to use when you require it. By using a tankless water heater method, which heats water only on demand, it is reported that tankless water heaters can reduce energy usage by up to 24 to 34 percent as compared to a typical tank heater.

Decreased Utility Bills

Because by nature, tankless water heaters use less energy to run since they do not heat water continuously, this can be beneficial to your monthly utility bills as well. It is reported that the average Big Island, HI household can save potentially hundreds of dollars each year by utilizing a tankless water heater by conserving almost 27 to 50 percent more energy than typical tank heaters.

Extended Lifespan

Another major advantage of tankless water heaters is that they have a significantly longer lifespan than their traditional counterparts. The average tankless water heater system has a lifespan of around 20 years, while traditional tank heaters have a lifespan of 10 to 15. It should be noted that the more you have your tankless water professionally maintained by Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service – Big Island, the longer it will last you.

Occupy Less Space

One major draw for tankless water heater systems is that they physically save a remarkable amount of space as compared to traditional tank models. A traditional water heater tank holds anywhere from 40 to 60 gallons of water and is around 60 inches tall and 24 inches wide – that’s a ton of space required to store an appliance! Tankless water heaters on the other hand are typically around 28 inches tall, 20 inches wide, and 10 inches deep, saving you a serious amount of space for storage or other things in your basement.

Less Intense Maintenance

While tankless water heaters still require a certain amount of maintenance to operate efficiently and last as long as possible, the maintenance required is much less intense than tank water heaters. Traditional tank heaters require professional maintenance every six months to a year, depending on where you are located in Big Island, HI. If you choose to have Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service – Big Island install a tankless water heater, your certified plumber will help you schedule professional tankless water heater tune-up and maintenance services, so your new water heater remains in tip-top shape and lasts as long as possible.

We bring expert knowledge and dependable service to every installation, ensuring your system runs efficiently from day one.

Tankless Water Heater Installation In Big Island, HI FAQs​

They can be, but the water quality needs to be considered. Catchment water with high sediment load or acidity can affect a tankless unit’s heat exchanger and inlet filter faster than treated municipal water. A whole-house sediment filter before the tankless unit is essential on catchment properties to prevent debris from reaching the heat exchanger. With proper filtration in place, a tankless heater performs well on catchment water and offers the same efficiency and endless hot water advantages as on any other supply.
High mineral content water causes calcium and magnesium scale to build up inside the heat exchanger at a faster rate than low-mineral water. Properties with well water, spring water, or high-mineral catchment in some areas may need descaling more frequently than the standard annual recommendation. Knowing your water’s hardness level through a test helps calibrate the right maintenance interval. A water softener installed upstream of the tankless unit reduces scale buildup and extends the interval between descaling services.
Yes. Gas-fired tankless water heaters rely on combustion, and at higher elevations the thinner air means less oxygen is available, which can affect burner output and efficiency. Some units require altitude adjustment to the gas pressure or burner orifice to perform properly above certain elevations. For properties in Waimea at around 2,500 feet, this is worth discussing with your plumber and the unit’s manufacturer before installation to confirm the selected model is rated for the installation altitude.
On the Big Island, propane is the gas option since natural gas lines aren’t available. Propane tankless units offer high flow rates and are well-suited for whole-home hot water on larger properties and vacation rentals. Electric tankless units require a dedicated high-amperage circuit but avoid the need for a propane supply and the associated tank and delivery management. For off-grid or solar-powered properties, an electric heat pump water heater rather than a standard electric tankless may be the most energy-efficient option given the electrical infrastructure involved.
A remote installation follows the same process as any other, but logistics require more advance planning. Materials need to be assembled before the crew mobilizes, permit applications need to account for Hawaii County processing times, and the inspection schedule needs to be coordinated to avoid multiple round trips to a distant location. Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service handles the full project coordination for Big Island installations including remote locations.
