White Glove Plumbing

Tankless Water Heater & Recirculation in Stonegate, Irvine

Serving ZIP: 92620
Typical ETA: 20–30 minutes via I-5 → Sand Canyon Ave → Irvine Blvd / Jeffrey Rd


Master-planned Stonegate homes are energy-tight and often two–three stories with guest suites and outdoor showers—so hot water travels long distances. Builder tanks (or a single undersized tankless) lead to long waits and cold starts, and Irvine’s mineral profile adds scale that shortens heater life. We engineer premium condensing tankless systems with dedicated or demand-based recirculation for near-instant hot water across the home—installed cleanly to HOA and City of Irvine specs.

He was super friendly, explained what was going on, and had everything fixed up way quicker than I expected. Honestly, such a relief—definitely calling White Glove Plumbing again if we ever need plumbing help."

Tankless Water Heater & Recirculation


Ideal for

  • Long waits to third-floor baths, lofts/casitas, or backyard showers

  • Running out of hot water during morning rush or entertaining

  • Replacing aging 50–75 gal tanks or undersized builder tankless

  • Freeing garage/mech-room space and reducing utility costs


What we do/install

  • Load calc, gas line sizing, combustion air & discreet vent routing

  • High-efficiency condensing tankless (stainless HX) with dedicated or on-demand recirc

  • Scale inhibitor and condensate neutralizer; isolation valves for quick annual service

  • Smart controls (timers, motion/thermostatic demand, app integrations)

  • HOA-compliant exterior terminations; seismic & drip protection

  • Permits/inspections with the City of Irvine; low-profile, tidy finish


Why this neighborhood benefits

  • Multi-story footprints put fixtures far from the heater; a properly engineered recirc loop delivers comfort and water savings, while tankless provides continuous recovery for busy households.


Typical timeline

  • Single or paired units: 1 day; manifolded/multi-wing layouts: 1–2 days (with HOA scheduling).


Whole-Home Water Filtration & Conditioning


When we recommend it: To protect new tankless heat exchangers and premium fixtures from scale/chlorine common in Irvine’s supply.What it includes: Point-of-entry carbon filtration plus a conditioner or softener (per preference/HOA), bypass manifold, service valves; optional UV and kitchen polish. Why it fits here: Extends tankless life, improves taste/feel, and cuts glass-shower spotting in spa-style baths.


Neighborhood Issues We See Most


  • Long hot-water runs to top-floor suites and accessory spaces

  • Mineral scale causing tank/tankless error codes and reduced efficiency

  • Tight mech spaces → desire to free floor area

  • HOA visibility rules for exterior equipment and venting

  • Rarely used baths causing odor/stagnation without smart recirc


Recent Jobs Nearby


  • Jeffrey Trail–side plan: Builder tankless undersized; installed manifolded pair + dedicated recirc and scale inhibitor—owner suite hot water in ~15–20 seconds.

  • Stonegate East courtyard home: Outdoor shower + loft bath; added demand-recirc kits at remote fixtures and compact carbon + conditioner—quieter plumbing, less spotting.

  • Near Harrington & Overbrook: Replaced twin tanks with dual condensing tankless and condensate neutralizer—garage storage reclaimed, endless hot water for entertaining.


How We Work


  • Scope first, fix right: on-site survey, gas/vent verification, and recirc design before install

  • Floor/wall protection, quiet tools, tidy daily cleanup

  • HOA-friendly: gate lists, access windows, discreet placements, compliance docs

  • Full permit/inspection handling; startup, commissioning, owner walk-through

  • One team for plumbing + restoration if a failed tank caused water damage


Frequently Asked Questions


How fast can you get to Stonegate (Irvine 92620) if our water heater is leaking or we suddenly have no hot water?


Stonegate is typically a quick-response neighborhood for us, and if there’s active leaking we can dispatch our 24/7 emergency plumbing service to shut things down safely and prevent damage. From there, we’ll help you move into a longer-term solution like a properly sized tankless water heater installation that fits your home’s layout and daily demand.


Why do Stonegate homes have such long hot-water waits to upstairs baths, guest suites, and outdoor showers?


Many Stonegate floorplans are two to three stories and “energy-tight,” so hot water has to travel a long way from the garage/mech area to the far fixtures. Pairing a correctly sized tankless water heater installation with a tuned recirculation pump installation is the most reliable way to reduce cold starts and water waste at remote bathrooms.


Do I need a dedicated recirculation return line in Stonegate, or can you retrofit on-demand recirc?


Not always—many homes in 92620 don’t have a true return line, especially if the layout has remote wings or third-floor baths. We can often set up demand-based options through recirculation pump installation and then fine-tune stability with mixing valve commissioning and recirc balancing so showers stay consistent.


Will one tankless cover my whole Stonegate home, or do I need a manifolded setup?


It depends on how many fixtures run at the same time—morning rush plus laundry and a kitchen load can overwhelm an undersized “builder” unit. We size around real simultaneous use and, when needed, recommend the right configuration during tankless water heater installation so you’re not chasing temperature drops later.


Do Stonegate tankless upgrades usually require a gas line upgrade?


Often, yes—condensing tankless systems need proper gas sizing to perform correctly, especially in multi-story homes with longer runs. We verify demand and handle upgrades cleanly through gas line repair and installation so your new tankless can actually deliver the flow it’s rated for.


Can you keep venting, exterior terminations, and safety upgrades HOA-compliant in Stonegate?


Yes—Stonegate HOAs care about visibility and curb appeal, so we plan discreet routing and clean exterior terminations that meet local requirements. We also include essentials like earthquake strapping and code upgrades and, where needed, an expansion tank installation so the system is inspection-ready and protects your plumbing.


How do you protect a Stonegate tankless heat exchanger from Irvine scale and keep maintenance simple?


Scale is one of the biggest reasons tankless units lose efficiency or start throwing errors in Irvine. We’ll set you up with annual-friendly service valves and keep performance strong with tankless maintenance and flush service. If you want stronger long-term protection (and less shower-glass spotting), we can add water softener installation or a salt-free conditioner installation with a bypass loop installation.


Can you relocate the water heater in Stonegate to free up garage space or improve access for service?


Yes—Stonegate garages and mech corners can be tight, especially with storage racks and EV setups, so placement matters. A water heater relocation can make the new tankless water heater installation cleaner, quieter, and easier to maintain without turning your garage into an obstacle course.
