Commercial Tankless Replacement in Athens
Restaurants, salons and small offices often use multiple tankless units linked together on a rack system. When one or more units fail, we replace them and rebalance the cascade controls so they split the load. We check gas pressure under full demand, since commercial racks can draw more than 600,000 BTU combined. Scheduling is easy to work around, so we can work after hours and keep your business open. We also set up a descaling schedule matched to your water usage.
Tank to Tankless Conversions in Athens, GA
Converting from a 40 or 50 gallon tank to tankless frees up floor space and ends standby heat loss in a garage or closet. The catch is that tankless units usually need a larger gas line, often three quarter inch or bigger, plus new venting. We check your meter size and pipe run before quoting so there are no surprises mid-job. We also cap or reroute the old flue and seal the roof penetration if it is no longer used. Plan for a conversion to take a full day.
Exterior Mount Tankless Units in Athens, GA
Many homes have tankless heaters mounted on an exterior wall with no venting at all, since the unit exhausts directly outside. These units face sun, rain and temperature swings, which can break down plastic covers and wiring over time. Northern and higher-elevation areas see more frozen-pipe calls than the south, where a deep freeze may only come every few winters. When we replace them, we check the pipe cover, freeze protection settings and the electrical connection. We can add a protective pipe cover kit to shield the water and gas lines. Exterior models are often the simplest swap when the gas line is already sized correctly.
Gas Tankless Water Heater Replacement in Athens
Many homes in Athens rely on natural gas for water heating, and gas tankless units are a highly efficient option. Our gas tankless water heater replacement service includes careful inspection of your existing gas lines, proper sizing of new gas lines if needed, and secure venting to the outdoors. We put a priority on safety. All gas connections and combustion air requirements meet Georgia and local codes, preventing potential hazards and maximizing efficiency.
