Tankless Water Heater Installation in Albuquerque

Why ABQ homes go tankless

Endless hot water, half the footprint of a 50-gallon tank, 20-year life when maintained. The trade-off in Albuquerque: hard water means descaling every 6 to 12 months. If you commit to that, tankless wins. If you won't, stick with a tank.

Brands we install most often in Albuquerque

Rinnai RU and RUR series — our default for Northeast Heights and Rio Rancho new construction. Navien NPE — best for homes with high simultaneous demand, common in Mariposa and Loma Colorado. Noritz NRC — strong cold-water performance for East Mountain installs. Rheem and Bosch round out the list.

What our tankless install includes

• Sizing calculation based on fixture count and inlet water temp
• Gas line upsize if needed (most ABQ tank conversions need 3/4-inch gas)
• Stainless concentric venting through the wall or roof
• Service valves and isolation valves for future descaling
• Condensate drain to floor drain or condensate pump
• Electrical for control board
• Permit, inspection, and final sign-off with City of Albuquerque

Pricing

Standard tank-to-tankless conversion: $4,250 to $5,800 in Albuquerque. Whole-home replacement of an existing tankless: $3,250 to $4,500. New construction rough-in pricing on request.
