Tankless Water Heater Installation in Arkansas
Endless on-demand hot water with no tank to fail. Pipe Master Plumbing installs and services tankless water heaters across Little Rock and Central Arkansas. We size it correctly for your home before recommending anything.
Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for Your Home?
A tankless water heater heats water on demand — only when you turn on a tap — instead of keeping a tank hot 24 hours a day. That means lower energy bills, longer equipment life, and no more running out of hot water. But it's not the right call for every home or every budget. We'll give you a straight answer before you spend a dime.
Tank vs. Tankless — The Real Trade-Off
Traditional Tank Water Heater
- ✓ Lower upfront cost ($600–$1,200 installed)
- ✓ Simpler to repair — parts are everywhere
- ✓ Works for most Arkansas homes just fine
- ✗ Runs out of hot water with heavy use
- ✗ Standby heat loss — paying to keep water hot all day
- ✗ Typical lifespan 8–12 years
Tankless Water Heater
- ✓ Never runs out of hot water
- ✓ 24–34% more energy efficient
- ✓ Lifespan 20+ years with maintenance
- ✓ Saves space — mounts on the wall
- ✗ Higher upfront cost ($1,500–$3,000 installed)
- ✗ May need gas line upgrade for whole-home units
What we do
Proper Sizing
Undersized tankless units struggle with multiple simultaneous demands. We calculate your peak flow rate before recommending a unit size — not a guess.
Gas & Electric Tankless
Gas tankless units heat faster and handle whole-home demand better. Electric units work well for point-of-use or homes without natural gas. We install both.
Gas Line Upgrade If Needed
Whole-home gas tankless units need a larger gas line than a standard tank. We assess your existing supply and handle any necessary upgrades as part of the install.
Tankless Repair & Descaling
Arkansas's hard water causes mineral buildup in tankless units. We flush and descale existing systems and service units from Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and others.

Common questions about tankless water heaters
How much does a tankless water heater cost to install in Arkansas?
A whole-home gas tankless water heater installed typically runs $1,500–$3,000 depending on the unit and any gas line work needed. Electric units are generally less. We give you a written quote before any work begins.
Will a tankless water heater work in Arkansas winters?
Yes. Arkansas winters are mild compared to most of the country, and properly sized tankless units handle the groundwater temperature here without issues. We factor in inlet water temperature when sizing the unit.
How long does a tankless water heater last?
20+ years with proper maintenance, compared to 8–12 for a tank unit. Annual descaling is important in Arkansas due to hard water — it keeps the heat exchanger running efficiently.
Can a tankless water heater run two showers at the same time?
It depends on the unit size. Undersized units struggle with simultaneous demand — that's why proper sizing matters. A whole-home unit rated at 8–10 GPM handles two showers and a dishwasher running simultaneously in most Arkansas homes.
Do you service existing tankless water heaters?
Yes — we descale, diagnose, and repair Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, Bradford White, and other brands. If your tankless is giving you error codes or reduced flow, call us.
