Tankless Water Heater Installation
Green Tech Plumbing provides professional tankless water heater installation in Des Plaines and Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs. Whether you’re replacing an older tankless unit or converting from a traditional tank water heater, we can help you choose a system that fits your home and hot water needs.
Our experienced plumbers install and service tankless water heaters, and Green Tech Plumbing has certified Navien specialists on staff. Proper sizing and installation are important with tankless systems. A unit that is too small may struggle when several fixtures are being used at the same time, while an improperly installed system can lead to performance and maintenance problems.
We offer a free initial estimate with no call-out fee, and we can usually provide a tankless water heater installation quote the same day or next day. Green Tech Plumbing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, with competitive pricing and third-party financing options available.
Should You Get a Tankless Water Heater?
Tankless water heaters have some big advantages, but they aren’t the best choice for every home. The right answer depends on your family, how much hot water you use, and what you’re willing to spend upfront.
One of the biggest benefits is hot water on demand. A traditional water heater stores a limited amount of hot water in its tank. Once that water is used, you have to wait for the tank to recover. A properly sized tankless water heater heats water as you need it, making it a great option for families that use a lot of hot water.
Tankless systems can also work well in homes with large soaking tubs, multiple showers, and other high-demand fixtures. They take up much less space than a traditional tank and can reduce energy use because they don’t have to keep 40 or 50 gallons of water hot all day.
There are tradeoffs, though. Tankless water heaters cost considerably more upfront than many traditional water heaters. Converting an existing home to tankless may also require changes to the gas line, venting, electrical supply, or water piping.
They also require regular maintenance. Tankless water heaters should be flushed to remove mineral and scale buildup, and the maintenance requirements can be greater than those of a traditional tank-style water heater.
For a smaller family with basic fixtures and modest hot water use, the additional cost of going tankless may not make sense. A good traditional water heater may be the simpler and more affordable choice.
So, is a tankless water heater worth it? For some families, absolutely. For others, probably not. We look at how your household actually uses hot water and help you compare the long-term benefits against the higher upfront cost.
The Cons
Protect Your Home. Save Time. Avoid Costly Surprises.

Why Homeowners Join
Most plumbing problems don’t give you warning. When a backup, leak, or sump pump issue happens, waiting even a day can mean water damage, disruption, and higher costs. Our Preferred Customer Program helps you stay ahead of problems and ensures you’re taken care of quickly when it matters most.
Enrollment is limited so we can continue providing fast, reliable service to our members.
Common Questions
“What if I don’t need service this year?”
That’s the goal. The annual inspection, preventative care, and priority access are designed to help you avoid emergencies and protect your home before problems start.
“Is this really worth it?”
Many members save more than the cost of the program through discounts, waived fees, and faster service alone. One avoided emergency visit or after-hours charge can more than pay for the membership.
“Am I locked into a contract?”
No. You can cancel anytime. We want you to stay because you see the value, not because you have to.
“Do I still get the same local service?”
Yes. You’ll continue working with the same trusted local team who knows your home, your neighborhood, and the common plumbing issues in our area. We do not subcontract any of our work out.
“How soon do the benefits kick in?”
Annual members receive full benefits immediately. Monthly members have access to all program benefits right away, except for the water heater flush, which becomes available after three months of continuous enrollment.
“What’s included with the annual inspection?”
- Locating and checking the main water shut off valve.
