Yes, in many cases, you can switch from a traditional tank to a tankless water heater, but it depends on the brand and installation. We recommend brands that integrate well with existing systems, allowing a smoother transition. That said, some tankless models may require adjustments, such as a new gas line or alternative venting, so professional installation by ATEL Air’s licensed experts is essential.
Members of our maintenance plan enjoy same-day service, often within hours. For non-members, we’ll schedule you at our earliest available opening, which may be later that day or within a few days.
While tankless water heaters may have a higher upfront cost, they lead to savings in the long run through increased energy efficiency. Additionally, tankless systems can add value to your home, making it more appealing to future buyers. If the initial expense is a concern, we recommend high-quality brands that work well with existing systems to help reduce installation costs and offer financing options to make going tankless affordable with manageable monthly payments.
