Benefits of Tankless Water Heater Installation & Replacement
Back to Hot Water—Fast
If you’re on the fence about whether or not you should invest in tankless water heater installation in Dayton, OH, you should consider the following perks:
Save Energy
Generally, a tankless water heater uses 24 to 34 percent less energy than its tank water heater counterparts. As a result, your carbon footprint will decrease, as will the bottom line on your energy bills.
Save Space
Tankless water heaters only need a modestly sized wall mount rather than a large tank of water that needs to be stored on your premises.
Endless Hot Water
Tankless water heaters don’t need to heat a whole water tank that can eventually run out. Instead, they heat water only when you turn on your tap, giving you fresh, hot water anytime you need it.
Increased Longevity
A tankless water heater lasts up to 20 years, unlike traditional water heaters, which have a lifespan of only 10 to 15 years. Your unit’s lifespan can be improved with routine maintenance.
Credit-Friendly Financing Available!
Whether it’s an emergency replacement or a planned upgrade, we make it simple to afford your new water heater. All credit types are welcome, and our team will help you choose the best financing option—without pressure or hidden fees.

Water Heater Installation Considerations
Whether you currently have a water heater or not, when you need a new one installed in your home, you’ll need to decide what kind and model of water heater you prefer. Our team can help you make this decision, but below we’ve listed out some general guidelines to consider.
-
Hot Water Needs
We’ll consider the number of people you have living in your home and how much hot water they’ll need on a daily basis. We’ll also take into account the kinds of water-using appliances you have that will require hot water. When replacing your water heater, we’ll use this information to choose the best size and model of water heater for you.
-
Tank or Tankless
Both options are valid when it comes to hot water heaters in residential capacities. When we go to replace your water heater, we’ll need to know whether you’d prefer a traditional water heater with a storage tank or a tankless model that heats water on demand. If you don’t know which you’d prefer, the other considerations will help guide us to that decision.
-
Energy Efficiency
The type of water heater you want installed can be influenced by the level of energy efficiency you want out of your appliance. Tankless water heaters use less energy, so you’ll reduce the amount you pay in your monthly energy bills.
-
Fuel Type
Water heaters can use gas, electricity, propane, and even solar energy to heat your home’s hot water. Your fuel preference will help you decide what kind of water heater you should get installed by our team.
-
Storage Space
Traditional tank water heaters take up more space because they involve a large storage tank of water, which can be between 40 and 60 gallons. If you don’t have enough space to house that size of storage tank, you should consider a tankless model.

Steve Monbeck, Plumbing Service Call
“I had a clogged main drain that kept the whole house from draining, James the drain specialist was absolutely amazing. He explained everything perfectly, he showed me what he was seeing and what I should be seeing. He gave me tips on how to prevent this in the future, he gave me tips so that I wont require further work, and he a great attitude the whole time. Highly recommending James/Five Star to family and friends. Couldn’t be happier with the service!”
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic
“Chris Carr was absolutely amazing! My pipes had roots in them built up real bad and I was hoping we wouldn’t have to replace anything and him and his assistant and supervisor kicked ass and got my clean out taken care of and even gave us great tips to keep up on preventative care as well. He was very informative, fun to talk with and extremely personable, and even took care to clean up after the job super well! We’ll definitely be using them in the future!”
Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic
“This was our second time using Five Star Home Care in Xenia, and they were just as great as the first. We had a clogged shower drain on a Sunday and were surprised to book an appointment that same morning! James Ashley, our technician, was professional, polite, and efficient. He cleared the drain, checked our pipes, and left the area spotless. Big thanks to Alexis for her help setting everything up. Highly recommend James and the Five Star team!”
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic
“Chris did an amazing job! Our system was badly backed up just days after our home warranty expired. He and two other techs worked nearly 10 hours yesterday and Chris returned today for two more. What should’ve cost nearly $1,000 was cut in half thanks to the team’s generosity—and Chris’s hard work likely saved us from an $8,000 repair. Reminder: stay on top of roots in your lines—they can get out of control fast!”
Chris Carr, Drain Diagnostic
“Very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. Unlike another company that showed up unprepared, they came within 24 hours, completed the camera inspection, found the break in 20 minutes, provided photos, and gave helpful repair recommendations. I’ll definitely use them again.”
James Ashley, Drain Diagnostic
“Chris did a great job! Very thorough, efficient, respectful – and, he of course solved our problem. We highly recommend Chris and Five Star for your plumbing needs.”

Signs You Need Water Heater Replacement
-
-
Temperature Fluctuations
If your water temperature is always changing on you when it shouldn’t, your heating elements may be failing, and you may need a replacement.
-
Constant Repairs
It’s not abnormal to need the occasional water heater repair, but you should pay attention to the frequency of your need for repairs. The more often you need your water heater fixed, the more financially untenable the situation may be and it may make more sense to replace the system.
-
Low Water Pressure
If you’re experiencing a lack of water pressure, you may have a blockage in your water heater that’s either difficult or impossible to repair.
-
Increase in Energy Bills
When you’re not using more hot water than usual but your energy bills are increasing unexpectedly, the issue may be in your hot water heater. A lack of efficiency may be reparable, but we may recommend a replacement.
-
Weird Noises
Listen closely for sounds like rumbling, snapping, and popping coming from your water heater. It may be due to sediment or mineral buildup in your water heater. Our team can assess whether it’s bad enough to warrant replacing your water heater.
-
Discolored Water
You should have clear water coming out of your taps. Your water tank might be corroding if your water has turned reddish, brownish, or even cloudy. Corrosion can lead to leaks and costly water damage, so it’s likely that your water will need to be replaced.
-
Old Age
If your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan and begins to have issues, you should consider getting a replacement. The lifespan of a tankless water heater is up to 20 years, and that of a tank water heater is between 10 and 15 years.
-
Water Heater Installation Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy.
If your water heater is leaking, over 10 years old, or producing inconsistent hot water, replacement is usually the best choice. For remodels or new homes, our Dayton, OH team handles complete installations start to finish.
Gas water heaters heat faster, while electric units are easier to install and more energy efficient. Our technicians will recommend what’s best based on your home’s setup and water usage.
Tank water heaters can be heavy, due to their large storage tanks, adding to the labor required to install the heater. Tankless water heaters have specific technological components that need specialized knowledge in order to install.
The price depends on size, type, and installation needs. We provide free, same-day estimates so you always know what to expect before any work begins.
Water heater installation can generally be a quick process, taking between two and three hours, on average. For a more precise time estimate, contact us at Five Star Home Services, and we can take into account the type of water heater, its size, and any complications that may delay the process.
