Going Tankless

Everything You Need to Know Before Going Tankless

Tankless water heater installation | frontline heating & cooling

Switching to a tankless water heater is a big decision. Here’s what Chicago homeowners should know before they upgrade.

Upgrade to a Tankless

When your tank water heater is on its last leg, an upgrade to a tankless system gives you a smaller unit, a longer lifespan, and one less thing to worry about.

Repair or Replace

We’ll check your current water heater first. If it’s still fixable, we fix it. If it’s done, we’ll walk you through a new water heater installation built for your home and your budget.

Help Me Decide

Energy Savings

A tankless water heater only heats water when you actually need it, not all day long. That means real energy savings every month, not just on paper.

Lower Bills, Less Waste

Standby heat loss from a tank adds up fast. An energy efficient tankless system heats water on demand, so your energy bills reflect what you actually use, not what sits idle in a tank.

Endless Hot Water

No more running out mid shower. A tankless system delivers endless hot water on demand, even when the whole house is using it at once.

Built for Busy Homes

Showers, laundry, and dishes at the same time used to mean someone got cold water. A tankless water heater keeps up with your flow rate, so every tap in the house stays covered.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tankless water heater installation typically runs $1,500 to $3,500 in the Chicago area, depending on the unit type, fuel source, and whether your home needs any upgrades to gas lines or electrical panels. Gas tankless systems generally cost more upfront but deliver greater energy savings over time.

In Chicago, a tankless water heater unit costs between $500 and $2,000 depending on brand and capacity. Add installation and you’re typically looking at $1,500 to $3,500 total. Frontline provides upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises.

The main downside is higher upfront cost compared to traditional tank models. Tankless systems also require adequate gas pressure or electrical capacity, which may mean additional upgrades. That said, most homeowners recover the cost through lower energy bills within a few years.

For a 2,000 square foot house in Chicago, most homeowners spend $1,800 to $3,200 on a new tankless water heater installation. Larger homes with higher hot water demand may need a higher-capacity unit, which affects the total cost. We size the system correctly during your free estimate.

Most tankless water heater installations take 2 to 4 hours for a straightforward swap. If your home needs gas line or electrical upgrades, it may take a full day. Our licensed plumbers work efficiently and clean up before they leave, with minimal disruption to your home.

Yes. Tankless systems need annual maintenance, typically a descaling flush, to operate efficiently and protect the unit. Chicago’s hard water can cause mineral buildup faster than in other cities. Frontline offers maintenance services to keep your system running and extend its lifespan.
