Tankless Water Heater & Recirculation


Ideal for

  • Waiting 30–90 seconds for hot water at back bathrooms or upstairs showers

  • Frequent pilot/igniter issues, leaking tanks, or rust around the base of your current heater

  • Homes adding rain showers, soaking tubs, or ADUs that outgrow old 40–50 gal tanks

  • Owners who want more garage storage or a cleaner utility wall


What we do/install

  • Proper sizing & load calculation for simultaneous showers, laundry, dishwashers, and future fixtures

  • High-efficiency tankless units mounted in optimal garage or exterior locations

  • Dedicated recirculation loops or crossover-style systems to deliver near-instant hot water to far fixtures

  • Gas line evaluation & upsizing, venting, combustion air, and seismic bracing to current code

  • PRV testing & adjustment to protect your new system and fixtures

  • Flush/service valves and isolation kits installed for easy annual maintenance

  • Clean, labeled piping and condensate management—no “spaghetti” installs


Why this neighborhood benefits

  • Mesa North’s long single-story footprints and end-of-run baths are notorious for hot-water lag. A well-designed tankless + recirc system slashes wait time, reduces water waste, and adds a premium upgrade that buyers in this pocket recognize—all with minimal disruption to your existing finishes.


Typical timeline

  • Most tankless + recirculation conversions completed in 1 day

  • Complex reroutes or panel/gas upgrades: typically 1–2 days, with clear schedules and minimal downtime


Whole-Home Water Filtration & Conditioning


When we recommend it

For Mesa North homes frustrated with hard water scale, dull fixtures, and spotting on glass/shower doors—especially after upgrading to tankless or new fixtures.


What it includes

  • Water testing to match the right filtration/conditioning solution

  • Whole-home carbon filtration for taste, odor, and chlorine reduction

  • Salt-based or salt-free conditioning options to reduce scaling in lines, valves, and tankless heat exchangers

  • Clean manifold-style installs in the garage or side yard, with proper bypass and shutoffs

  • Integration with PRV and tankless system for a cohesive, long-lasting setup


Why it fits this area

Hard water in Mesa North beats up water heaters, cartridges, and glass. Pairing conditioning with tankless protects your investment, keeps flow strong, and enhances the feel of every fixture—high perceived value, low friction for owners.


Neighborhood Issues We See Most


  • Aging tank water heaters in garages near living spaces posing leak and flood risk

  • Long runs from garage to hallway/primary baths causing wasted water and time

  • Early-stage slab leak history from constantly pressurized hot lines feeding distant fixtures

  • Scale buildup in older heaters and fixtures reducing efficiency and flow

  • DIY or flipped-home installs with undersized gas lines, no PRV, or improper venting


Recent Jobs Nearby


  • Near Paularino Elementary: Original tank repeatedly leaking; installed properly sized tankless with recirc pump, rerouted lines to shorten hot path—family now has instant hot water at both baths.

  • Cul-de-sac off Harbor Blvd: 2-bath home with chronic lukewarm showers; upgraded to high-efficiency tankless, corrected gas sizing, added PRV and isolation valves—stable temps even with laundry running.

  • Mesa North rental property: Owner tired of replacing tanks between tenants; tankless conversion + whole-home conditioner reduced service calls and became a leasing highlight.


How We Work


  • Design first, then install: We evaluate fixture count, line lengths, and pressure before recommending a model or layout.

  • Tidy, code-true installs: Straight runs, labeled valves, safe venting, and clean penetrations—no sloppy “flip house” work.

  • Occupied-home friendly: Drop cloths, shoe covers, same-day hot water restoration whenever possible.

  • Investor & landlord ready: Clear proposals, photos, and maintenance plans tailored to rental portfolios.

  • Permits & inspections handled with the City of Costa Mesa for a fully documented, compliant upgrade.


Frequently Asked Questions


Will a tankless water heater really fix the long hot-water wait in Mesa North (Costa Mesa 92626) homes with back-bedroom baths?


Yes—especially in Mesa North’s long single-story tracts where the heater sits in the garage and the far bath is at the back of the house. The key is pairing a properly sized tankless water heater installation with a smart recirculation pump installation so you’re not waiting 30–90 seconds at end-of-run fixtures.


Do I need a dedicated recirculation return line in Mesa North, or can you retrofit a crossover system?


Both can work, and Mesa North layouts vary between single-story footprints and two-story plans. If there’s an existing return line, we tune it; if not, we can often retrofit a crossover/on-demand approach via recirculation pump installation. We finish by dialing in stable temps with mixing valve commissioning and recirc balancing so showers don’t swing hot/cold.


Is my existing gas line big enough for tankless in older Mesa North houses near Paularino Elementary?


Often not—many 1960s–1970s Mesa North homes were built around smaller tank heaters and lighter gas loads. We do a load calculation and then handle any upsizing through gas line repair and installation so the new tankless water heater installation performs correctly and stays warranty-safe.


Where do you usually place the tankless unit in Mesa North without making the garage feel cramped?


Most installs go on a clean garage “utility wall” or a discreet exterior side-yard location to free up floor space—great for Mesa North families who want storage back. If your current heater location is awkward (or blocks laundry/garage parking), a water heater relocation can make the setup safer, tidier, and easier to service.


Why do you test the PRV and water pressure during a Mesa North tankless + recirc upgrade?


Mesa North is one of those neighborhoods where pressure drift can quietly beat up fixtures and shorten equipment life. Stabilizing pressure with PRV pressure regulator replacement helps protect your new tankless, recirc components, and shower cartridges—especially if you’ve done a remodel with premium fixtures.


How often do Mesa North tankless systems need maintenance with local hard water?


Plan on regular flushing—hard water scale is a big reason tankless units lose efficiency and develop temperature issues over time. We set you up for easy service with proper valves, then keep performance strong with tankless maintenance and flush service. If your system includes recirc, that maintenance becomes even more important.


Is it worth bundling whole-home filtration or conditioning when upgrading to tankless in Mesa North?


If you’re already investing in tankless, bundling can be a smart move because scale is what clogs aerators, spots glass, and wears out heat exchangers. We’ll match the solution to your goals with water softener installation or salt-free conditioner installation, and keep it service-friendly with a bypass loop installation.


How do you decide what filtration/conditioning Mesa North homes near Harbor Blvd and Fairview Rd actually need?


We don’t guess—we test first, then build a system that fits your water and your fixtures. A drinking water quality panel plus targeted chlorine and chloramine testing helps determine whether you need carbon filtration for taste/odor, conditioning for scale, or both—especially if you’re trying to keep new showers and a new tankless performing like day one.
