- Space-saving design: The units are small and can be mounted on walls.
- Longer lifespan: Lasts more than 20 years, while traditional tanks last only 10 to 15 years.
- Less Risk of Water Damage: Less chance of leaks or failures because there is no stored water.
- Good for the environment: uses less energy and is made of parts that can be recycled.
- Smart Controls + App: With precise controls, you can keep the temperature and pressure steady.
- Tax Credit: You can get up to $600 off your taxes if you buy an ENERGY STAR certified tankless water heater.
- Great for the warm weather in Anaheim: The temperature of OC’s groundwater means that it takes less energy to get hot water.

Anaheim Tankless Water Heater Considerations
Both the state of California and the City of Anaheim including Anaheim Hills, CA have specific requirements for installing tank or tankless water heaters:
- Permit Required: The City of Anaheim requires a building permit for all water heater installations or replacements, including tankless models. We’ve got you covered, we handle this for you!
- Code Compliance: Installation must meet California Plumbing Code (CPC) and local zoning.
- Gas vs Electric: Natural gas is common and considerably cheaper to operate in Anaheim plus SoCal Gas offers a rebate on gas tankless water heater installations..
- Anaheim Hard Water: The hard water in Anaheim speeds up scaling in tankless units, which shortens their lifespan without care. Most of our installs in Anaheim are gas due to this reason.
- Home Size: It might take longer for bigger homes in Anaheim to get hot water because the water heater and the water output are farther apart.
- No Hot Water During Power Outages: In Anaheim, especially Anaheim Hills, where power outages happen a lot, tankless water heaters (gas or electric) stop making hot water during blackouts. On the other hand, traditional gas tank heaters usually keep working.
Traditional or Tankless Water Heater?
For tankless, the higher upfront cost, longer wait for hot water without a recirculation system, and required yearly maintenance in areas with hard water like Anaheim can make it not worth it for people who don’t use a lot of hot water or who are on a tight budget.
Gas or Electric?
Most homes in Anaheim are better off with a natural gas tankless water heater because it has higher flow rates for simultaneous use, costs 30–50% less to run than electric (thanks to SoCalGas rates vs. SCE electricity prices), and doesn’t require expensive electrical panel upgrades. Electric tankless water heaters are usually best for small households (1–2 people), condos with no gas line, or all-electric/solar homes that want to use no gas at all.
Existing setups can also affect gas or electric setups. For example, most homes in Anaheim don’t have enough electrical capacity to install electric tankless water heaters without upgrading the electrical panel, and many need a utility meter service upgrade.
Gas water heaters (tank or tankless) are also louder, and important thing to consider if placing a unit in a closet near a bedroom or living area.

Tankless Water Heater Add-Ons
In Anaheim, here are the most useful and common extras for a tankless water heater:
Hot Water Recirculation Pump and Timer/Aquastat – You can get hot water right away at every faucet. This is because it keeps a small loop of water warm, which gets rid of the usual 10–30 second delay with tankless water heaters.
Water Softener – This system removes calcium and magnesium from Anaheim’s very hard water before it reaches your water heater, pipes and appliances and stops scale from building up, resulting in a longer lasting water heater and more.
Leak Detector/Shut-off Valve – If a leak is found, this device automatically turns off the water to the tankless, stopping flooding and expensive water damage. Go even further with a whole house automatic water shut off valve.
