Is tankless a good fit for an older house?
That depends on three things, the gas line, the venting and the electrical service. We inspect each one before you decide, since an older house may not carry a tankless unit without changes.
Plumbers in Colorado Springs
A dripping tub spout or a heater that has stopped, in Colorado Springs, is work for Plumbers of Colorado.
The middle home in Colorado Springs went up in 1986. About 4 in every 10 of the homes predate 1980, and every one of them has years of daily use behind its pipes, valves and heaters.
Water heaters in Colorado Springs
When an old tank gives out, compare it with a tankless unit. Floor space is saved and hot water never runs out, yet every shower and appliance in use at once must be covered. January lows in Colorado Springs average 18°F, so the supply water arrives cold and the unit works hard. The house may also need a bigger gas line or extra electrical capacity.
Use the tankless flow calculator to get your household’s flow, starting from 42°F supply water, which fits Colorado Springs, where January lows average 18°F. Afterward we can talk through water heater repair and installation by phone.
Winter in Colorado Springs

Older houses and the line to the street
More than 1 in every 10 of Colorado Springs homes date from before 1960. The line to the street in such a house may be the original, which is why we film it before recommending any sewer line repair.
Frequently asked questions
How can I tell if the sewer line is the problem?
Soggy yard ground in a dry week, gurgling toilets and drains that back up together are the signs. Each points outdoors, and a camera inspection settles it while you watch the footage.
