Tankless heater and gas line service in Mendota Heights, MN 55118

Many Mendota Heights homes are larger, with more bathrooms than a single 50 gallon tank can keep up with. Tankless water heaters from makers like Navien and Rinnai heat water on demand, so a family can run showers back to back without the last person getting cold water. They also take up far less room in the mechanical space.

They're not a fit everywhere. A tankless unit needs a large gas supply, proper venting, and softened water to keep scale out of the heat exchanger. We check your gas meter size, pipe sizing, and venting route before recommending one. If a high efficiency tank makes more sense for your house, we'll say so.

Remodels in Mendota Heights often include a new gas range, a gas dryer in a relocated laundry, or a fireplace insert. Each one needs a properly sized gas line, a shutoff at the appliance, and a pressure test before it goes into service. Older homes sometimes have gas piping that's undersized for added appliances.

We calculate the load, run new black iron or approved flexible gas pipe, and pull the city permit. If you ever smell gas, leave the house first and call Xcel Energy or 911 from outside, then call us. We repair leaks and test the system before anything is turned back on.

Bathrooms in Mendota Heights homes from the 1960s and 1970s often have galvanized supply pipe, cast iron drains, and valves that no longer meet current safety standards. A remodel is the ideal time to update all of that, since the walls are open and the cost of access is already part of the project.

We replace old valves with pressure balancing ones, update supply lines to copper or PEX, and reroute drains for new layouts, whether that's a curbless shower, a freestanding tub or a double vanity. We work with your contractor's schedule and pull the permits needed for the plumbing.
