Can I Install a Tankless Water Heater Myself?

No. Tankless water heater installation should be handled by a licensed professional due to gas, electrical, venting, and code requirements. Improper installation can lead to safety hazards, system damage, and voided warranties.

Why Tankless Water Heater Installation Isn’t DIY

Tankless systems require precise sizing, dedicated gas or electrical supply, proper venting, and system calibration. In Texas, improper installation can violate code and create serious safety risks, including gas leaks or carbon monoxide exposure.

Radiant Plumbing & Air Conditioning installs tankless water heaters for homes across Austin, San Antonio, and Central Texas, ensuring systems are installed correctly and perform efficiently from day one.
