Stepping into a hot shower is a luxury we often take for granted until the hot water runs out. If you’re regularly experiencing hot water issues, it might be time to think about a tankless water heater.
Jay’s Heating, Air, and Plumbing is your go-to choice for water heaters, including tankless systems. We install, service, and repair tankless water heaters in Mount Airy, NC.
Why Choose a Tankless Water Heater?
Tankless water heaters work differently than the traditional tanked system. When you turn on the tap, water flows through the pipe, heating as it passes the heat exchanger. A mixing valve tempers the water as it exits the heat exchanger. Before the water flows out of the heater, it passes the temperature sensor. The system adjusts to meet the demands if the water is above or below the desired temperature.
The heating happens in seconds, plus the time it takes to travel through the pipes to your faucet. That’s why another name for a tankless system is ‘on demand.’
The benefits of a tankless water heater vs. a traditional tanked system include decreased energy use, easier maintenance, and a compact design.
Decreased Energy Use
A tankless water heater’s advantage is that it uses up to 34% less energy than a tanked system. The traditional tanked system stores hot water and must periodically reheat the water whenever the temperature drops below the desired setting. The excessive energy use of the tanked system makes the tankless system the more energy-efficient choice.
Cost Savings
Tankless water heater energy savings translate to big savings on your Duke Energy bill. You can increase your savings by choosing a natural gas tankless system.
Space Saver
A tankless system takes up less space than a tanked system because of its compact, wall-mounted design. This design makes it an excellent choice for homes with limited space. You can install a tankless system under a sink, in a closet, or pantry, or even under a stairwell.
Easier Maintenance
A tankless system is easier to maintain than a tanked system. Because it doesn’t store water, the heating components don’t sit in the chemicals and particulates commonly found in water. It’s also easier to flush a tankless system and more of its parts are replaceable.
Our Tankless Water Heater Services

We have a trusted process to help you find the right system for your needs, including sizing your home to ensure you get a system that’s suitable for your home’s water usage.
We perform a thorough inspection to ensure your current system is beyond repair. The benefits of a replacement usually outweigh the costs of the repairs on an old system. We often recommend you replace your water heater if your current system is over eight years old, experiencing decreased efficiency, and needs frequent repairs.
Before the installation, we inspect the existing gas, plumbing, and electrical connections. We disconnect and remove the old unit and repair or update any damaged or dated parts. Our tankless water heater installations include safely removing and disposing of the old unit and any damaged components.
Once we’ve installed the unit, we test the system for functionality and efficiency. Our work adheres to local regulations and includes permits required by the city of Mount Airy and Surry County. We schedule and attend required inspections to verify the installation meets regulations.
