Tankless Water Heater Installation in Show Low, Arizona
OR GIVE US A CALL
Hot Water That Never Runs Out Halfway Through
The last person to shower should get the same water temperature as the first. A correctly sized tankless system delivers exactly that, heating water on demand instead of keeping a tank hot around the clock and hoping the supply lasts. Murray In A Hurry Plumbing installs tankless water heaters for homes and businesses throughout Show Low, Arizona, and across Pinetop-Lakeside, Snowflake, and Taylor.
High-country installs demand more attention than a warm-climate swap, because colder incoming groundwater forces a unit to work harder for every gallon it delivers. Our 19 years in the field go into sizing the equipment to your actual fixture count, upsizing the gas supply wherever the load needs it, and venting the whole system correctly the first time. Schedule a walkthrough through our contact page and we will put a free estimate in writing for you.
Tankless Water Heaters We Install
Tankless Sizing and System Design
Sizing starts with how many fixtures run at once and how cold the incoming water gets in January. We calculate flow and temperature rise together, because a unit chosen on price alone disappoints the first winter morning it faces.
Gas Line Upsizing for Tankless Units
On-demand heating draws far more fuel at once than a storage tank ever does. We evaluate the existing gas supply, upsize the line where the load requires it, and verify pressure so the burner reaches full output reliably.
Venting and Condensate Setup
Correct venting is where rushed installations usually go wrong. We route sealed combustion venting to manufacturer specification, handle condensate drainage and neutralization properly, and confirm every clearance so the unit runs safely and keeps its warranty fully intact.
Tank to Tankless Conversions
Swapping a storage tank for an on-demand unit changes the gas, water, venting, and electrical picture all at once. We handle the whole conversion, remove the old equipment, and hand back the floor space it had been occupying.
Navien Tankless Installation
We install Navien tankless systems for customers who want an endless supply of hot water from one compact, high-efficiency unit. Familiarity with the platform means faster setup, correct configuration, and straightforward service for years down the road.
Commercial Tankless Installation
Restaurants, salons, motels, and offices often need continuous hot water without dedicating a room to storage. We design multi-unit banks sized for peak demand, giving your building capacity that scales with the busiest hour of the day.
Why Tankless Systems Improve Efficiency and Convenience
Endless Hot Water on Demand
Back-to-back showers, a full dishwasher, and a running laundry stop competing with each other. Water heats as it passes through the unit, so supply is limited by flow rate rather than by whatever a tank happened to hold.
Lower Standby Energy Waste
A storage tank spends all day and night reheating water nobody is using yet. On-demand heating fires only when a fixture actually calls for it, which quietly removes a constant background load from your monthly utility bill.
Reclaimed Floor Space
A wall-mounted unit is roughly the size of a carry-on suitcase. Removing a bulky tank frees up a closet, a garage corner, or a utility room, and that space usually gets put to better use immediately.
A Longer Service Life
Well-maintained tankless units commonly run 15 to 20 years and often well beyond that, outlasting the storage tanks they replace by a comfortable margin. Serviceable heat exchangers and readily replaceable parts extend that working life even further still.
Far Less Flood Risk
There is no 50-gallon reservoir sitting there waiting to split a seam and empty across your floor. Removing that stored volume also removes one of the most common and expensive sources of interior water damage in a home.
Steady Comfort Through Cold Months
A properly sized unit accounts for the larger temperature rise that winter demands. That planning is the difference between hot water holding perfectly steady in February and a system that struggles the moment overnight temperatures drop below freezing.
Hot Water You Stop Thinking About Entirely
The best compliment an on-demand system earns is silence: nobody rationing showers, nobody rushing through the dishes, nobody wondering whether the last person used it all. Getting there depends far more on correct sizing, adequate gas supply and clean venting than on the badge stamped on the front panel. Murray In A Hurry Plumbing has installed and serviced these systems through the cold White Mountain winters around Show Low, Arizona, and we design each one around the way your household or building actually uses water.

FAQ's
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
How long does a tankless water heater last?
Most units deliver 15 to 20 years of service, and careful annual maintenance pushes many of them well further. Regular descaling protects the heat exchanger, which is the component that determines whether a system reaches the higher end.
Does a tankless unit need its own gas line?
Frequently, yes. On-demand burners draw a much higher input rating than storage tanks, so an undersized existing line starves the unit. We check supply capacity during the walkthrough and upsize the run when the numbers require it.
Will hard water damage a tankless heater?
Scale is the primary enemy of any on-demand system. Mineral deposits coat the heat exchanger, reduce efficiency, and eventually trigger error codes. Annual flushing, and a softener in harder water areas, keeps performance right where it belongs.
How often should a tankless system be flushed?
Once a year suits most households, and harder water or unusually heavy daily usage justifies doing it more often. The service is quick, inexpensive relative to a repair, and it is exactly what most manufacturer warranties actually require.
Why does hot water take a moment to arrive?
The unit has to sense flow, ignite and heat the water before it travels the whole length of your pipe. Distance from the fixture accounts for most of that delay, and a recirculation loop shortens the wait considerably.
Can one tankless unit serve a whole house?
Often, though it depends on peak simultaneous demand. Murray In A Hurry Plumbing sizes each system to the property, and larger Show Low, AZ homes with several bathrooms sometimes do better with two units or one serving the far wing.
Is a tankless heater a good choice at high elevation?
Yes, with the right equipment. Altitude affects combustion, so units need proper rating or adjustment for elevation. Murray In A Hurry Plumbing accounts for that on every install around Show Low, AZ rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Do tankless water heaters need electricity?
Yes. Even gas-fired models rely on electronic ignition, digital controls and often a small fan, so they need a nearby outlet or a hardwired connection. That also means an outage stops production until power comes back on.
