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 Oahu, 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 heater installation is that tankless water heaters 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 heater professionally maintained, the longer it will last you.

Space-Saving Design

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 Intensive Maintenance Requirements

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 Oahu, HI. 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.

If you’re ready to modernize your home’s water heating, Steve’s Plumbing and A/C, Oahu is here to make it simple. We deliver quality tankless water heater installations across the island.

Tankless Water Heater Installation In Oahu, HI FAQs​

Tankless water heaters heat water on demand rather than maintaining a large stored volume, which eliminates standby heat loss and can reduce energy consumption noticeably. They also last longer than tank units, typically 15 to 20 years compared to 10 to 12 for a standard tank, and they free up physical space in a utility closet or garage. In Oahu where energy costs run higher than the mainland average, the efficiency gains are real over the life of the unit.
Tankless units are sized by flow rate, measured in gallons per minute, and temperature rise. A home with two bathrooms and standard demand typically needs a unit rated around 6 to 8 GPM. Larger homes or those with multiple simultaneous hot water demands need a higher capacity unit or multiple units. Hawaii’s relatively warm incoming groundwater temperature means you need less temperature rise than colder climates, which can allow for a slightly smaller unit.
Installation typically takes three to five hours for a standard replacement of an existing tank unit. If the gas line needs to be upsized to meet the higher BTU demand of a tankless unit, or if new venting is required, the job can take longer. We’ll assess your existing setup during the estimate and let you know if any additional work is needed before installation day.
In most cases, yes, though it’s not always a direct swap. Gas tankless units require higher BTU input than most tank heaters, which may mean upsizing the gas line and regulator. Venting requirements are different too, since most tankless units use direct vent or power vent configurations. Steve’s Plumbing & A/C Service handles the full installation including any line or venting upgrades needed.
They perform very well in Hawaii. The warm incoming groundwater temperature in Oahu means the unit has less work to do to reach the target output temperature, which improves efficiency and reduces the likelihood of undersizing. Hard water is the main maintenance concern, since mineral scale can build up inside the heat exchanger over time, but annual descaling keeps the unit running at full efficiency.
