⚠️ Signs Your Tank Water Heater Is Failing

  • Running out of hot water before showers are done
  • Rumbling or popping noises from the tank
  • Rusty or discolored hot water
  • Tank is 10 or more years old
  • Visible corrosion or rust around the base
  • Water pooling under the unit
  • Unexplained spike in your electric or gas bill
  • Pilot light keeps going out (gas heaters)

Why Kissimmee Homeowners Are Switching to Tankless

A traditional tank water heater keeps 40–80 gallons of water hot 24 hours a day whether you use it or not. In Kissimmee’s climate, where ground temperatures are warmer year-round, tank heaters still cycle constantly to maintain temperature — and most are sized for peak demand rather than typical daily use, meaning you’re paying to heat water you never use.

Tankless units heat water only when you turn on the tap. A properly sized gas tankless heater can cut water heating costs by 30–40% compared to a standard tank. For vacation rental properties and short-term rentals along US-192, the improvement is even more pronounced: multiple guests running showers simultaneously never exhaust the supply, and the unit sits idle — using zero energy — between guest stays.

Valmont Build & Mechanical installs Navien and Rinnai tankless systems as our primary brands — both are built specifically for Florida’s hard water and humidity conditions. We size every unit to your home’s actual demand, pull the required Osceola County permit, and handle the gas line or electrical upgrade if needed.

Tank vs. Tankless: Side-by-Side Comparison

Here is how conventional tank water heaters compare to modern tankless units for a typical Kissimmee home.

Feature Tank Water Heater Tankless Water Heater
Hot Water Supply Limited to tank size; runs out Unlimited on demand
Lifespan 8–12 years 20+ years
Energy Use Heats water 24/7 (standby loss) Only heats when water flows
Monthly Cost (avg) Higher — continuous heating 30–40% lower energy cost
Space Required Large footprint (40–80 gal tank) Wall-mounted; fits in small spaces
Flood Risk Tank failure = significant leak No stored water to catastrophically leak
Upfront Cost Lower initial cost Higher upfront; pays back over time

Brands We Install

🔥 Navien NPE Series

Our most-installed brand for Kissimmee homes. Navien’s condensing technology extracts nearly all heat from combustion — efficiency ratings up to 0.97 UEF. Built-in recirculation pump option is ideal for larger homes where hot water takes time to reach far fixtures.

⚡ Rinnai RUR / V Series

Rinnai’s V Series is an excellent value for standard homes; the RUR condensing series competes with Navien at the top end. Rinnai has one of the largest service networks in Central Florida, which matters for long-term parts availability.

🔒 Rheem Performance Platinum

Rheem tankless units are a strong option for electric conversions and smaller homes. Their EcoNet Wi-Fi control lets you monitor usage and adjust temperature remotely — popular with vacation rental owners who want remote management capability.

Which brand is right for your home? We recommend based on your gas line size, the number of bathrooms and fixtures running simultaneously, whether you have a recirculation loop, and your budget. We do not push a brand because of margin — we recommend what performs best in Kissimmee’s specific water chemistry and climate conditions.

What’s Included in Every Valmont Tankless Installation

🔧 Load Calculation & Sizing

We calculate your peak simultaneous demand — showers, dishwasher, laundry — and size the unit correctly. An undersized tankless heater is one of the most common installation mistakes we fix for customers who hired non-specialists.

📄 Osceola County Permit

Every tankless installation requires a plumbing permit and, for gas units, a mechanical permit. Both are included in our quote. The signed inspection record protects you on insurance claims and at resale.

📈 Gas Line Evaluation

Tankless heaters demand higher BTU capacity than tank heaters. We inspect your existing gas line and meter, and upsize the supply line if needed. This is non-negotiable for safe, code-compliant operation.

🔒 Proper Venting

Condensing tankless units use PVC venting; non-condensing units require stainless flue pipe. We install the correct vent type for your unit and route it per manufacturer spec — improper venting is a safety issue and voids warranties.

📘 Manufacturer Warranty Registration

We register the unit in your name with the manufacturer at job completion. Navien and Rinnai require installation by a licensed contractor for the full warranty to apply. We provide you the registration confirmation in writing.

🛑 Old Unit Haul-Away

We disconnect, drain, and remove your existing tank or tankless unit at no extra charge on standard replacements. Your utility closet or garage is clean when we leave.

Our Installation Process

Most tankless installations in Kissimmee are completed in one day. Replacements of existing tankless units are typically done in four to six hours.

Step What Happens Notes
1 Free on-site assessment and quote We inspect your gas line, existing venting, water pressure, and fixture count. Written itemized quote provided — typically same visit.
2 Permits pulled We obtain all required permits from Osceola County before scheduling installation. Typical permit turnaround is 3–5 business days.
3 Old unit removed Existing tank or tankless disconnected, drained, and removed. Gas and water lines capped safely while new unit is staged.
4 New unit mounted and connected Unit wall-mounted, gas line connected and leak-tested, water lines connected, venting installed and sealed, condensate drain routed (if condensing unit).
5 Startup and testing Unit fired up, temperature set, flow rate verified at all fixtures, error codes cleared. We walk you through the controls and maintenance schedule before leaving.
6 County inspection & warranty registration We schedule the county inspection and register the unit with the manufacturer in your name. You receive the signed permit card and warranty documents.

Tankless Water Heater Cost in Kissimmee

Cost depends on the unit, your home’s gas line capacity, existing venting, and whether we’re replacing a tank or an older tankless. Here is what most Kissimmee homeowners pay for a complete supply-and-install.

Scenario Typical Range Notes
Replace tank with gas tankless (1–2 bath) $2,200 – $3,200 Existing gas line adequate; standard venting
Replace tank with gas tankless (3–4 bath) $2,800 – $4,500 Higher BTU unit; may require gas line upsize
Replace existing tankless unit $1,800 – $3,000 Existing venting and gas line reused where code allows
Gas line upsize (if required) $400 – $900 additional Quoted separately after inspection; not always needed

All quotes include the unit, all labor, permits, and haul-away of the old heater. Call (407) 881-2944 for a no-pressure written estimate at your home.

Tankless Water Heater FAQs

How long does a tankless water heater last?

A properly maintained tankless water heater lasts 20 years or more — roughly twice the lifespan of a conventional tank. The key is annual descaling to prevent mineral buildup from Kissimmee’s hard water. We offer annual maintenance visits to keep your unit running at peak efficiency.

Will a tankless heater work if my home has multiple showers running at once?

Yes — if it is sized correctly. This is the most common mistake with DIY or improperly sized installations. A unit rated for 6.0 GPM can typically handle two simultaneous showers in Florida’s groundwater temperature. For larger homes or vacation rentals with frequent simultaneous use, we size up or recommend a Navien unit with cascading capability. We calculate your peak demand before recommending a unit.

Do I need to do anything to maintain my tankless heater?

Annual descaling (flushing with white vinegar or a commercial descaler) is the primary maintenance task. Kissimmee’s water has moderate mineral content, so without annual flushing, scale can build up on the heat exchanger and reduce efficiency over time. Both Navien and Rinnai units have a diagnostic mode that alerts you when descaling is needed. We offer an annual service visit that includes descaling and a full safety check.

Can I get a tankless heater if I have a propane system instead of natural gas?

Yes. Navien, Rinnai, and Rheem all make propane versions of their tankless units. The installation process is the same; the unit ships configured for LP gas. Many homes in the Poinciana and Four Corners areas use propane — we install in those areas regularly.

Is there a cold-water “sandwich” effect with tankless heaters?

The “cold water sandwich” — a brief burst of cold water between uses — can occur with tankless heaters when hot water left in the pipes cools down between draws. Navien units with a built-in recirculation pump essentially eliminate this by keeping hot water close to the fixtures. We can also install an add-on recirculation system on any brand. We discuss this during the assessment so you know what to expect.

Does a tankless water heater work during a power outage?

No. Even gas tankless units require electricity to power the controls, igniter, and fan. If you lose power, you lose hot water. If power outages are a concern in your area, a whole-home generator or a battery backup connected to the unit’s circuit will keep it running. We can advise on generator sizing if needed.
