Tankless Water Heater Installation in Akron, OH

What is a Tankless Water Heater?

A tankless water heater is a very popular alternative to the traditional energy-consuming tank that continuously maintains hot water for your home or business. Rather than store tens to hundreds of gallons of water and keep it at a preset temperature, a tankless water heater supplies hot water on demand and only the amount you need. It can be described as plumbing at the speed of NOW, and has both residential and commercial applications.

Anthony worked with me on the price which I really appreciated. Jocelyn made my appointment and was so pleasant to talk to. Jonathan knew exactly what to do to bring a natural gas line out from my basement to my deck. He did a great job! I highly recommend this company.

We had two different plumbing companies telling us that they fixed the problem. They didn't! We didn't get any refund either. Plumbing Excellence found the problem and resolved the issue. Very professional and would recommend them to anyone!!

I had water back up through my downstairs toilet. Called a different plumber who snaked the line and ran a camera to find a belly in my line. They said fixing it would likely involve tearing up my concrete basement floor, but wanted to charge me $564.44 to "camera and locate" the belly just to give me an estimate on the repair. That sounded crazy expensive to me to pay almost $600 to get an estimate after they had allegedly already identified the belly.

I called Plumbing Excellence for a second opinion. Jocelyn answered the phone and was very pleasant and helpful. She got me on the schedule the very next morning. The technician, Justin, arrived on time and ran the camera, identified the issue AND the location, and only charged me the $89 service call fee. The issue is not under my basement but in the yard and won't require them to tear up my basement floor. The estimate was very reasonable for the size of the job. They also gave me a narrated video of the camera work that explained the issue and what needed to be fixed.

I was very pleased with my experience with Plumbing Excellence. I highly recommend them. They will be getting my plumbing business from now on.

This is a great business to call if you have any type of plumbing problems. Their service techs do a great job. We had Grant today and he was fast and efficient. And when I called in yesterday to get an appointment, Jocelyn made sure we got one the very next day. She handles all the calls and appointments.

I used this plumbing company to flush my hot water tank. The technician was nice and knew what he was doing. He made sure to follow the steps to drain it out and also bleed out the air in the faucet after it filled up.
After speaking with the manager, he explained that it's routine for them to give additional options for appliances and services. The technician quoted me an electric anode rod install and membership.
It did make me feel a little overwhelmed by the price after these quotes, so I did decline them. I think it would be a better approach to print out pamphlets or email them to customers to review and look into upgraded parts or options. That way they can do their own research and decide if they want to go with them before spending the extra money.
I do recommend this company if you have plumbing needs, and the manager said he will take my advice about the pamphlets and look into doing that.

Zane Belsito

Crystal & John were amazing today. I called with issues of a slow main line clog. They were able to get a tech to my house today luckily. John was very knowledgeable and friendly. He got all the info he needed then explained everything very well. Allowing me to pick his brain where I wanted, it was very appreciated. I signed up for the standard membership since I decided based on the amazing service I'll be using them for my future plumbing work I have planned. Thank you so much.

What Are The Advantages Of Tankless Water Heaters?

Cost

Many of our customers find that they save enough on their utility bills to pay for the cost of the unit within a very short time.

Peace of mind

With a tankless, you don’t have to worry about the tank rusting through or otherwise deteriorating and flooding the area. There’s no tank to hold water, thus the name. Instead, a tankless water heater uses a heat exchanger to heat the water as it passes through. The exchangers usually are made from stainless steel or copper, which are corrosion-resistant.

Hot water on demand

When you have a tankless, you get hot water almost instantly. The only determining factor is the time it takes to get the water from the tankless to your faucet. You needn’t worry about running out of hot water if someone in your house has taken a long shower.

Since the water is heated as it goes through the exchanger, you’ll have as much heated water as you have water flowing. This should reduce your water consumption throughout the house, whether in the bathroom, the kitchen, the garage, or anywhere else. There’s no more waiting for minutes for the water to warm up when your tankless has been appropriately sized for your needs.

Longer lifespan

Typically, a tankless lasts for 15 to 20 years when properly maintained. Traditional water heaters usually last up to 12 years.

Do Tankless Water Heaters Need Maintenance?

As with any appliance, your Akron tankless water heater should have an annual maintenance check. This ensures that all connections are secure and you have no mineral buildup. If you have hard water, minerals can accumulate and reduce efficiency. So, if your tankless isn’t performing as well as it did, call us for a maintenance check. We may need to descale or flush the unit, or the filters may need to be cleaned. Remember, we’re Your Fixed-Right-The-First-Time-Plumbers!
