A tankless water heater gives you unlimited hot water on demand and cuts water heating energy use 24 to 34 percent compared to a standard storage tank, according to the Department of Energy. For a Central Oklahoma home that runs hot water hard, the payback is real. I install and service tankless units from Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, and Bradford White.
Tankless Water Heater Installation at Hartzell’s
Free estimate on every new tankless installation. I size the unit correctly for your household’s peak demand, flow rate and incoming groundwater temperature both matter for getting this right. An undersized tankless unit will fail to keep up during simultaneous draws, which is the most common complaint I hear from people who had a bad installation.
- Free in-home estimate and proper sizing
- Gas line upgrade if required (tankless units need larger gas supply than storage tanks)
- Proper venting, direct vent or power vent depending on installation location
- Water quality assessment, hard water areas may need a descaling loop
- Full parts and labor warranty

Tankless Brands I Install
I install Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, Bradford White, and A.O. Smith tankless units. For whole-house applications in Central Oklahoma, Navien’s NPE series and Rinnai’s RU series are my first recommendations, both handle hard water better than most and have solid support networks. I’m a Bradford White authorized dealer for those who prefer that brand.
Gas Line Requirements
This is where a lot of tankless installations go wrong. A standard storage water heater uses a 1/2-inch gas line at relatively low BTU. A whole-house tankless unit needs 1-inch or larger gas supply at 150,000 BTU or more. If your existing line isn’t adequate, I’ll tell you upfront what gas line work is required and include it in the quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tankless water heater installation cost in Oklahoma?
A whole-house tankless gas water heater installed in Central Oklahoma typically runs $2,000 to $4,500 depending on the unit, gas line modifications needed, and venting requirements. I provide a firm written quote at the free estimate.
Are tankless water heaters worth it in Oklahoma?
For households that use a lot of hot water, families of 3 or more, homes with multiple bathrooms running simultaneously, yes. The energy savings are real and the unlimited hot water is a quality-of-life improvement. For a couple with low hot water demand, the payback period is longer. I’ll give you an honest ROI estimate at the quote.
How long do tankless water heaters last?
A properly maintained tankless unit lasts 20 or more years, roughly twice the lifespan of a standard storage tank. The key is annual descaling in hard water areas like Kingfisher County. Central Oklahoma has moderately hard water that will scale a tankless unit over time without maintenance.
Can I replace my storage tank water heater with tankless?
Yes, but it’s not a direct swap. Tankless requires larger gas supply, different venting, and often a larger cold water line. I assess the existing setup at the estimate and tell you exactly what’s involved before any work starts.
Do you service existing tankless water heaters?
Yes. I service all major brands, Navien, Rinnai, Rheem, Bradford White, Noritz, A.O. Smith. Annual descaling is recommended in Central Oklahoma. Call 405-375-4822 to schedule.
