Is Your Current Water Heater Holding You Back?

Running Out of Hot Water

If your household fights over who showers first or you’re constantly waiting for the tank to recover, a tankless water heater delivers unlimited hot water on demand, with no tank to empty and no waiting.

High Energy Bills from Your Water Heater

Traditional tank water heaters keep 40 to 80 gallons hot 24 hours a day, whether you’re using it or not. A tankless system only heats water when you need it, cutting water heating costs by 24 to 34%.

Aging Tank Water Heater Nearing Failure

Tank water heaters last 8 to 12 years and often fail catastrophically by leaking. If your unit is approaching that age, upgrading to a tankless system eliminates the risk of a 40 to 80 gallon flood in your home.

Not Enough Hot Water for Your Growing Household

Added a bathroom, finished a basement, or have more people in the home? A tankless water heater scales to meet demand without the size limitations of a storage tank.

Complete Tankless Water Heater Services in Fort Myers, FL

Homeowners throughout Fort Myers are increasingly upgrading to tankless water heaters for endless hot water, lower energy costs, and longer system lifespan. The warm Southwest Florida groundwater keeps tankless systems highly efficient, needing only a modest temperature rise to deliver endless hot water. Because Lee County is known for very hard water, often with sulfur on well systems in areas like McGregor, Gateway, and Fort Myers Beach, proper sizing, installation, and frequent descaling are essential for long-term performance. Our licensed, certified, and manufacturer-authorized technicians provide complete consultation, sizing, installation, maintenance, repair, and 24/7 emergency service for tankless water heaters in Fort Myers.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand by heating water as it passes through a high-powered heat exchanger, eliminating the need for a bulky storage tank and preventing standby heat loss. These systems deliver unlimited hot water while improving energy efficiency compared to traditional tank-style units.

Our technicians offer:

Tankless systems are available in natural gas, propane, and electric models, each with unique installation requirements, operating costs, and output capacities. We offer professional installation for brands like Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, Rheem, and Takagi, and address their requirements for precise gas pressure, venting, flow rate calibration, and electrical configuration.

Tankless Water Heater Sizing & Consultation

Proper sizing is the most important factor in tankless water heater performance and homeowner satisfaction. An undersized unit may struggle to keep up with simultaneous showers, dishwashing, and laundry, resulting in fluctuating or lukewarm water temperatures.

During your evaluation, our technicians will assess gas supply capacity, electrical service, venting options, and household hot water habits to recommend the ideal system configuration for your needs.

Tankless Water Heater Maintenance & Descaling

Routine maintenance is essential to protect the efficiency and lifespan of your tankless water heater. The most important maintenance procedure is annual descaling, which flushes the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution or a commercial descaling solution to remove mineral buildup caused by Fort Myers’ hard water.

Our maintenance support includes:

If your home has especially hard water, it may require descaling every 6 to 12 months to prevent restricted flow, efficiency loss, and heat exchanger damage. Additional maintenance includes cleaning the inlet filters, inspecting burners, testing gas pressure, verifying ignition performance, and checking the venting system for safe operation.

Tankless Water Heaters FAQs

How much does tankless water heater installation cost?

Tankless water heater installation cost depends on the system type (gas or electric), the unit’s capacity, and your home’s existing setup. Direct tank-to-tankless conversions that require gas line upgrades, venting modifications, or electrical improvements cost more than a straightforward replacement. We provide upfront pricing after evaluating your home, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

How long do tankless water heaters last?

A properly maintained tankless water heater can last 15 to 20 years or longer, nearly double the lifespan of many traditional tank water heaters. Most internal components are individually replaceable, extending the unit’s usable life even further.

Can a tankless water heater supply my whole house?

Yes, a properly sized whole-home tankless system can provide endless hot water throughout the entire house. Performance is measured in gallons per minute (GPM) at a specific temperature rise, so technicians calculate peak household demand to ensure the unit can support simultaneous fixtures. Many high-capacity gas tankless systems can handle multiple showers, dishwashers, and laundry appliances operating simultaneously.

Do tankless water heaters work during a power outage?

No, both gas and electric tankless water heaters require electricity to operate. Gas models still need electrical power for the ignition system, control board, and exhaust fan, while electric models rely entirely on household electrical service.

What maintenance does a tankless water heater need?

Annual professional maintenance is strongly recommended for all tankless water heaters. The most important service is descaling, which circulates a cleaning solution through the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup and maintain efficiency. Additional maintenance includes cleaning filters, inspecting burners, testing pressure relief valves, verifying venting integrity, and checking gas pressure.

Do you offer 24/7 service and warranties on tankless water heaters?

Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency tankless water heater repair service if you’re experiencing a sudden loss of hot water or a system failure. Installation labor warranties typically range from 1 to 2 years, while manufacturer warranties may provide 5 to 10+ years of heat exchanger coverage and several years of parts protection, depending on the model.

No Tanks; You’re Welcome

When it comes time to replace your gas or electric water heater, don’t automatically select a model just like your old one. In fact, the huge energy savings you can capture from tankless water heaters make them the smart option in many cases. They cost more to buy and install, but that initial investment pays off with lower heating bills and a 20-year lifespan – as much as double the typical tanked products.

Fort Myers enjoys a warm climate conducive to recreational activities year-round. That means household activities such as showers, laundry, and dishwashing are frequent and consistent. Traditional water heaters, which store gallons of hot water in a tank, often struggle to keep up with this continuous demand, especially in larger households. These units also consume lots of energy, heating more water as soon as its reservoir runs low – even if it won’t be needed for hours.

Switching to a tankless water heater offers advantages that align perfectly with the Lee County lifestyle. They heat water only when someone turns the tap, starts the dishwasher, or puts in a load of laundry. And they ensure you’ll never run out of hot water, no matter how many showers your family takes.

Since there is no tank, there’s no need to dedicate an entire corner of the garage or basement to house a tankless heater. These lightweight and compact units can even be mounted on walls, freeing up valuable floor space.

The Benjamin Franklin team can help you decide if a tankless water heater is right for your family. We’ll help you consider your hot water needs, how long you plan to stay in your home, the number of bathrooms, family members, and appliances you have, and other factors.
