A tankless water heater heats water on demand as it flows through the unit. It hangs on a wall in place of a tank on the floor. Stop The Drip handles tankless water heater installation and repair in homes across Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Call or text (615) 723-2488, and we look at the job and put the quote in writing.
A switch from a gas tank means new work on the gas line and the vent. If a standard tank suits your home better, our tank water heater installation page covers it. We are a plumber serving Nashville, and La Vergne sits at the center of our service area. Homes are our focus, and we have done commercial tankless work too.
Tell us about the clog, leak, water heater or fixture and where it is. We look at the job and put the quote in writing.
A gas tankless unit burns a lot of gas while the hot water runs. Tankless manuals say the gas line must carry that full load while every other gas appliance runs too. If the line that fed your old tank falls short, we run a larger one. It is the same gas line installation work we do for ranges and dryers.
An indoor tankless unit vents straight outside, and condensing models use plastic vent pipe. The manual for one condensing unit forbids tying its vent into an existing vent or chimney. Condensing models also make an acidic condensate that has to run to a drain. Where code calls for it, a neutralizer treats it first.
Homes without gas can use an electric tankless unit instead. A whole-house electric model draws heavy current, so an electrician checks the panel first.
A tank stores hot water, while a tankless unit makes it as you use it. That makes flow the first number. We add up what can run at the same time, like two showers and the kitchen sink.
The second number is temperature rise, the gap between the water coming in and the water you want. Metro Water Services' latest water quality report shows water leaving its plants between about 47 and 84 degrees. Winter water needs the bigger rise, so we size for the cold end.
A large home that runs several showers at once may need two units linked together. A unit too small for the demand falls behind when many taps run at once. We look at your fixtures and your water before we pick a size.
Hard water leaves scale inside the heat exchanger, which cuts output and can trip an overheat code. Metro Water Services calls Nashville's water moderately hard. The hardness is dissolved calcium from limestone, and treatment does not remove it. So a tankless unit here needs regular flushes.
A descaling flush clears the scale. We close the isolation valves and pump a descaling solution through the heat exchanger for an hour. Then we rinse it out and clean the inlet filter. Tankless manuals call for those isolation valves at the unit for this reason.
Tankless water heater repair starts with the code on the display and what the water does. Cold water at a slow trickle can mean the flow is too low to fire the burner. For a tank heater, our water heater repair page is the place to start.

they are awesome! They came out quickly both times I called and were honest and fair in their pricing. Will use them for all future plumbing. Highly recommend
Called the business and was able to get a same day appointment for my clogged kitchen drain and broken garbage disposal. They replaced the garbage disposal and did a hydro jetting. Throughout the process Freddie was very professional, friendly, and informative.He let me know all the steps of the process, gave options and his recommendations. At the end of the day, everything is fixed and he performed multiple tests to verify their work. Overall satisfied with this company .
