Tankless Water Heater Installation Danvers
End Frustrating Hot Water Problems With A Better Solution
If your current water heater struggles to keep up, takes up too much space, or is reaching the end of its life, a tankless system can be a smart upgrade for your home in Danvers. Tankless units heat water on demand, so you get steady hot water without waiting for a tank to recover.
At Townsend Energy, we help homeowners replace outdated equipment with modern, high efficiency systems that match their home and budget. We take the time to understand how your household actually uses hot water, then recommend options that make practical sense rather than a one size fits all solution.
Our family has been serving New England since 1931, and our licensed team installs and supports tankless water heaters across the area. When you reach out to us, you get clear answers, transparent pricing, and a careful installation process focused on safety and long term reliability.
Why Homeowners Choose Townsend Energy
Choosing the right installer matters just as much as choosing the right equipment. Tankless water heaters involve gas or electrical work, venting, and integration with your existing heating and plumbing systems. You want a company that has been trusted in local homes for decades and plans to be there to support you in the future.
Townsend Energy has been family owned and operated since 1931, with over 90 years of continuous service to communities in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine. Our roots in the region mean we understand how New England homes are built and how local codes and conditions affect water heating systems in places like Danvers.
Our technicians are licensed, insured, and NATE certified, and they receive ongoing training on modern high efficiency equipment. This training supports careful work on gas lines, venting, and electrical connections, which are critical parts of a safe tankless installation. We set high expectations for workmanship and follow detailed safety standards on every project.
We know that replacing a water heater is a significant investment. That is why we provide upfront, written pricing before work begins and offer financing options to help make upgrades more manageable. Our goal is to explain your choices clearly, so you can decide what fits your home and budget without pressure.
To give you added peace of mind, we back our services with a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee. Our team is available with 24/7 emergency service and same day scheduling when possible, so if you have a hot water issue that cannot wait, we work to respond quickly. Many homeowners choose us because they want a single trusted company that can handle HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fuel delivery under one name.
Is A Tankless Water Heater Right For You
A tankless water heater can be an excellent fit for many homes, yet it is not the best choice in every situation. We help you evaluate whether a tankless system makes sense based on how much hot water you use, the layout of your home, your current utilities, and your long term plans.
Unlike a traditional tank that stores hot water, a tankless unit heats water as it flows through the system. This design can provide a steady stream of hot water for as long as needed, within the capacity of the unit. It can also free up space, since there is no large storage tank, and it often uses fuel more efficiently because it is not reheating water you are not using.
The right fit depends on everyday details. For example, a household that runs multiple showers, the dishwasher, and the washing machine at the same time will have different needs than a smaller household with staggered use. We look closely at how many fixtures you have, where they are located, and how often they are used. We also consider gas line size or electrical capacity, venting paths, and local water quality, which can affect long term performance.
Tankless water heaters tend to be a strong option if you:
- Frequently run out of hot water with your current tank
- Are renovating or adding bathrooms and expect higher hot water demand
- Want to reduce energy use with higher efficiency equipment
- Have limited space and prefer a more compact system
- Plan to stay in your home and value long term performance
For some properties, a high quality tank style replacement may still be the better choice. During a visit, we review the specifics of your home in the area and talk through the tradeoffs of each approach. Our recommendation is based on what we would choose for our own home given the same conditions.
Our Tankless Installation Process
Knowing what to expect from installation can make a big difference in your comfort level. We follow a clear step by step process that focuses on careful planning, safe work, and minimal disruption to your routine. Each project starts with a conversation about your goals and ends with you feeling confident operating your new system.
We begin with an on site assessment at your home in Danvers. Our technician reviews your existing water heater, fuel source, venting, and electrical panel. We check gas line sizing or available electrical capacity and look for a suitable venting route that meets Massachusetts code requirements. During this visit, we also talk through your typical hot water use, such as how many showers run at once and whether you use hot water for laundry or other appliances during peak times.
Based on that information, we size and recommend a tankless unit that can support your needs. We consider factors like flow rate, temperature rise, and the number of fixtures connected to the system. Because we also work with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fuel delivery, we can coordinate any related upgrades that might be needed for the installation, instead of leaving you to manage multiple contractors.
On installation day, we protect work areas and review the plan with you before we begin. Our team removes your old equipment as needed, mounts the new tankless unit, completes water and fuel or electrical connections, and installs venting in line with manufacturer instructions and local codes. We perform thorough leak checks and safety tests before starting the system.
Once the unit is running, we walk you through the controls, temperature settings, and any maintenance steps you should be aware of, such as recommended flushing intervals based on your water quality. We also review what to watch for and how to contact us if you have questions later.
Our typical tankless installation includes:
- On site assessment and sizing recommendations
- Removal of existing water heater if required
- Professional installation of the new tankless unit
- Code compliant gas, venting, and electrical work
- System testing, safety checks, and homeowner walkthrough
Every home is different, so specific steps can vary, especially in older properties common in New England. Throughout the process, we communicate clearly about what we are doing and why, so you are never left guessing about what is happening in your home.
Costs, Efficiency & Ongoing Support
Cost is often the biggest question around a tankless upgrade. The total investment typically includes the unit itself, labor for installation, and any necessary adjustments to gas lines, venting, or electrical systems. Homes that already have compatible infrastructure may need fewer changes than homes that require upgrades.
Before any work begins, we provide a clear, written estimate that outlines the scope of the project. We take time to explain what is included, discuss possible variables, and answer questions about future service. Because a tankless system is a larger investment than many standard tanks, we also offer financing options that can help spread the cost across manageable payments.
Many homeowners consider tankless equipment because of potential energy savings. Tankless units typically avoid the standby losses of a traditional tank, since they are not keeping a large volume of water hot all day. The actual impact on your fuel or energy use depends on your household size, usage patterns, and the efficiency of the equipment you are replacing. We walk through these factors with you so you can make a realistic comparison.
In a town like Danvers, where winters are long and hot water is a daily need, reliable performance matters. Our technicians focus on proper sizing and installation, which play a major role in how efficiently your system operates. We also explain recommended maintenance, such as periodic descaling, that can help protect efficiency and extend equipment life.
After installation, you are not on your own. Our team provides maintenance and repair services for water heaters throughout the area. We are available with 24/7 emergency service if you experience an urgent hot water issue, and our 100 percent satisfaction guarantee reflects our commitment to making things right if something is not working as expected.
Frequently Asked Questions

A properly sized tankless water heater can serve an entire home. Our team reviews how many fixtures you have and how often they run at the same time, then recommends equipment that fits those demands. If usage is very high, we may suggest specific configurations to support your needs.
How Long Does Tankless Installation Usually Take
Most tankless installations are completed within a day, although complex projects can take longer.

We discuss scheduling in advance and work to limit the time you are without hot water.
Will I Need Gas or Electrical Upgrades

During our on site assessment, we measure existing capacity and explain any changes that are recommended. We handle this work within the project and provide clear pricing before you decide to move forward.
What Maintenance Does a Tankless Water Heater Need
