What's included
What's Included in Your Installation
Every Electric Tankless Water Heater Installation in Newport Beach includes the essentials to get you running. We also offer add-ons like panel upgrades and water filtration. Here's what you get.
Unit Mounting and Wiring
We mount the unit securely on your wall and run a dedicated 240-volt circuit from your panel. We size the wire gauge and breaker to the manufacturer's spec. We use dielectric unions to prevent corrosion between dissimilar metals.
Plumbing Connections
We connect the hot and cold lines, install a pressure relief valve, and add a thermal expansion tank if your system is closed. We use Teflon tape and pipe dope on every threaded joint. We pressure-test the lines before we leave.
Permit and Inspection
We pull the required electrical and plumbing permits from the city. We schedule the inspection and meet the inspector on site. You get the signed-off permit for your records. This keeps your homeowner's insurance valid.
Isolation Valve Kit
We install an isolation valve kit on the hot and cold lines. This lets you shut off water to the unit and flush it with a descaling pump kit. It's the easiest way to protect your investment and keep your warranty valid.
System Test and Walkthrough
We fill the system, purge air, and test the unit at full flow. We check the temperature with a pressure gauge and flow meter. Then we show you how to descale the unit and where the shutoff valves are. You get hot water before we leave.

The service timeline
Our Installation Process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Phone Assessment
We ask about your home's electrical panel, water usage, and where you want the unit. You text us a photo of your panel and current water heater. We give you a ballpark range on the spot. Takes 10 to 15 minutes.
On-Site Evaluation
A licensed technician comes out, usually same-day or next-day. We check your panel amperage, wire gauge, and available wall space. We confirm the right unit size for your household. You get a written quote before we start any work.
Permits and Prep
We pull the electrical and plumbing permits through the city. We protect your floors and shut off the old unit. If you need a panel upgrade, we coordinate that with a licensed electrician. Most permits clear in 24 to 48 hours.
Installation Day
We mount the unit, run the dedicated circuit, and connect the plumbing. We install isolation valves, a pressure relief valve, and a thermal expansion tank if needed. The job takes 4 to 8 hours depending on panel work and venting.
Testing and Walkthrough
We fill the lines, check for leaks, and test the unit at full flow. We set the temperature to your preference and show you how to descale it. You get the warranty paperwork and permit sign-off. We don't leave until you have hot water.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Multimeter
We test voltage, amperage, and continuity on the dedicated circuit. It confirms the breaker and wire gauge are correct before we power the unit.
Pipe Wrench and Tubing Cutter
We use a pipe wrench to tighten fittings and a tubing cutter for clean, square cuts on copper or PEX lines. Clean cuts prevent leaks.
Pressure Gauge
We check your home's water pressure before and after installation. If it's above 80 psi, we install a pressure relief valve to protect the unit.
Descaling Pump Kit
We use a descaling pump kit with descaling solution to flush mineral buildup. We show you how to use it annually to keep your warranty valid.
Flow Meter
We measure your peak flow rate to size the tankless unit correctly. This ensures you get hot water even when multiple fixtures run at once.
Teflon Tape and Dielectric Unions
We wrap threads with Teflon tape and use dielectric unions to prevent galvanic corrosion where copper meets steel. It extends the life of your plumbing.
Use cases
When to Install an Electric Tankless Unit
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Balboa Island Rental Gets Reliable Hot Water
A vacation rental on Balboa Island had a 40-gallon tank that couldn't keep up with back-to-back showers. Guests left negative reviews about cold water. → We installed a Navien electric tankless unit sized for peak demand. The owner now gets consistent hot water and no more complaints. Energy bills dropped by 25%.
Newport Coast Home Frees Up Garage Space
A Newport Coast homeowner wanted to reclaim garage space taken up by a bulky tank. The existing panel was 200 amps, so no upgrade was needed. → We mounted a Rheem electric tankless unit high on the wall and rerouted the plumbing. The install took one day. The homeowner now parks a third car in the garage.
Problems we solve
Problems We Solve with Electric Tankless Installation
Old tanks cause more problems than most homeowners realize. Here's what we fix when we install an electric tankless unit in Newport Beach.
Running out of hot water during peak use
We install an electric tankless unit sized to your household's peak demand. It heats water as it flows, so you never run out. We calculate the flow rate and temperature rise to match your usage.
High energy bills from standby heat loss
Electric tankless units only draw power when you open a tap. Most Newport Beach customers see a 20% to 30% drop in water-heating costs. The unit pays for itself over its 20-year lifespan.
Old tank leaking or rusting in the garage
We remove the old tank, dispose of it, and install a wall-mounted tankless unit. It frees up floor space and eliminates the flood risk. We also install a pressure relief valve and thermal expansion tank for safety.
No space for a bulky tank
A tankless unit mounts on the wall and takes up about the size of a carry-on suitcase. You reclaim your floor space for bikes, beach gear, or storage. We can mount it in a closet, garage, or utility room.
Pricing process
Electric Tankless Water Heater Installation Cost
$1,200 - $6,000 depending on scope
Electrical Panel Capacity
If your panel is 100 amps and full, you'll need a 200-amp upgrade. That adds $1,500 to $3,000 to the job. We check your panel during the evaluation and tell you upfront.
Unit Size and Brand
A small unit for a condo costs less than a high-capacity unit for a large home. Brands like Rinnai, Navien, and Stiebel Eltron vary in price. We recommend the right size for your usage.
Wiring and Circuit Run
If your panel is far from the install location, we may need more wire and conduit. A long run adds $200 to $600. We measure during the evaluation and include it in the quote.

★★★★★
“I wanted to get rid of the tank in my garage to free up space. The crew ran a new 240-volt circuit, mounted the unit on the wall, and added isolation valves. They walked me through the annual descaling process. Professional, clean, and on time. I'd use them again.”
