A correctly sized tankless heater gives you endless hot water, frees up basement floor space, and lasts roughly twice as long as a conventional tank. Kiley Plumbing has installed Navien tankless units across Metrowest for over a decade.
Tankless water heaters are sensitive to two things: gas supply and venting. Most failed tankless installs we're called to fix have one of those undersized. Kiley sizes the gas line for the unit's peak BTU demand, vents per the manufacturer's spec (concentric or twin-pipe PVC, depending on the model), and condenses safely with proper drain routing.
We're a Navien specialty installer because the brand is the right balance of efficiency, longevity, and serviceable parts. For homes with smaller demand we sometimes recommend Rinnai or Rheem instead — we'll tell you what fits, not what carries the highest commission.
Every install includes a flat written quote, isolation valves and pressure-relief piped correctly, and a recommended annual flushing schedule.
Tankless carries a higher upfront cost than a straight tank swap, which is exactly what financing is there for — qualifying projects over $2,000, a soft credit check, and no impact on your credit score.
We measure your peak simultaneous fixture demand and design for cold-month groundwater temperature.
We confirm gas supply BTU capacity and design a vent path that meets manufacturer spec.
We install the unit, vent to manufacturer spec and code, and wire the controls.
A recommended annual flush schedule to keep the heat exchanger clear (we offer to handle it).
