What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Us

We have had a great experience with them for both AC service and our boiler. The service team is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. They also make a big effort to get your job taken care of as soon as possible.

Tom, Julian, and Collin did a fantastic job replacing my oil furnace with a natural gas one. This was a very involved oil to gas conversion and they did a fantastic job running the gas lines and installing the new water heater. They were very courteous and did a great job explaining everything. Fair pricing, I would highly recommend!

I've had to call Davis on several occasions with furnace issues. Each time it was fast responses pleasant & friendly technicians they were very informative & got my heater up & running fast. 5 stars from me.

Extremely happy with our experience. We scheduled a tune up thereafter and the technician Nick H professionally maintained our systems, gave us valuable recommendations, and personally rerouted some HVAC piping to help provide additional head clearance in our tight mechanical room without asking. Highly recommend all around.

Furnace was clicking but not igniting. Called Davis and they said they were backed up but would try to get to me. Half hour later they called and said a technician was on their way. Nick arrived and quickly diagnosed the problem. Am up and warming up! Great service! Would highly recommend

Advantages of Going Tankless

A tankless water heater provides hot water on demand rather than storing and continuously reheating a set volume, which means households no longer have to worry about running out partway through a busy morning. This is particularly useful for larger families or homes where multiple showers, laundry, and dishwashing occur at the same time. Because the unit only heats water as it’s needed, tankless systems typically use less energy overall than a traditional tank that maintains a constant temperature around the clock.

Space savings are another notable benefit, since tankless units mount on a wall and take up a fraction of the footprint of a traditional tank, freeing up room in a basement, closet, or utility area. Tankless systems also tend to last longer than traditional tank water heaters, often by a decade or more, which can offset some of the higher upfront installation cost over the system’s lifespan. For homeowners focused on long-term efficiency and consistent access to hot water, these advantages often make the switch worthwhile.

Warning Signs Your Tankless Water Heater Needs Repair

A few common symptoms indicate a tankless system that needs attention.

Inconsistent water temperature
Reduced hot water flow
Error codes on the display panel
Unit fails to ignite
Unusual noises during operation
Mineral buildup is affecting performance
Water is taking longer to heat

If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s worth having a technician inspect your unit before the issue affects your household’s hot water supply.

Our Tankless Water Heater Installation & Repair Services

For new installations, our technicians assess your home’s hot water demand, existing gas or electrical infrastructure, and available mounting space to recommend a unit sized correctly for your household. Tankless systems require specific venting and, in many cases, upgraded gas lines or electrical capacity, so we handle these adjustments as part of a complete installation rather than leaving homeowners to coordinate separate work. Once installed, we test the unit thoroughly to confirm consistent temperature output and proper ignition before considering the job finished.

For repairs, our technicians start with a full diagnostic covering the ignition system, heat exchanger, and water flow sensors, since tankless units rely on precise communication between these components to function correctly. Mineral buildup is a common issue we address, particularly in areas with harder water, since scale can accumulate inside the unit over time and affect both performance and lifespan. We carry parts for most major tankless brands, allowing us to complete many repairs in a single visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a tankless water heater last?

Tankless systems typically last 20 years or more with proper maintenance, often significantly longer than traditional tank water heaters.

Do I need to upgrade my gas or electrical service for a tankless unit?

In many cases, yes, since tankless systems often require higher capacity gas lines or electrical service than a standard tank, which our technicians assess during installation.

Why does my tankless water heater show an error code?

Error codes typically indicate specific issues such as ignition failure, water flow problems, or overheating, and our technicians can diagnose the exact cause.

Can mineral buildup affect my tankless system's performance?

Yes, scale buildup from hard water can reduce efficiency and shorten the unit’s lifespan if not addressed through regular maintenance or flushing.

How quickly can you respond to a tankless water heater emergency?

Our 24/7 on-call service means a technician can typically respond the same day, including nights and weekends.
