Fast, affordable, and expert plumbing services you can trust — serving Venice, Santa Monica, Inglewood, Hawthorne, Torrance, and more.

When you’re tired of running out of hot water in the middle of a shower, or dealing with bulky, inefficient storage tank heaters, a tankless water heater can be an excellent upgrade. At EZ Fix Plumbing & Drains, we specialize in installing premium tankless water heating systems across L.A. County’s west side. From Venice to Torrance, we ensure each job is done with technical precision, code compliance, and a focus on long-term value.
Tankless water heaters (also known as on-demand water heaters) do away with the large storage tank entirely. Instead, they heat water instantly when you turn on a hot water tap. A flow sensor activates either a gas burner or electric heating element, heating water as it passes through. Because there’s no stored hot water, you don’t suffer standby energy losses (i.e. energy wasted holding water hot in a tank).
Energy Efficiency & Lower Bills
Since water is only heated when needed, tankless units avoid the storage-tank “standby loss.” This can lead to substantial savings in energy consumption and monthly utility bills.
Endless Hot Water
No more worrying about the tank being depleted—tankless systems provide hot water on demand. Perfect for busy households where multiple fixtures (showers, dishwasher, laundry) are used at once.
Space Saving
A tankless water heater is compact—wall mounted, tucked away, and freeing up floor space that a bulky tank would occupy. This is especially valuable in smaller L.A. homes or apartments.
Longer Lifespan
Tankless units typically last significantly longer than standard tank models, often 20 years or more with proper maintenance.
Reduced Risk of Leaks & Damage
Without a large water tank, there’s less risk of tank corrosion and catastrophic ruptures, which can lead to flooding and water damage.
Improved Water Quality & Heating Control
Because water isn’t stored, there’s less sediment buildup, rust, or stale water. Many units also offer precise temperature control, reducing the risk of scalding and providing more comfortable, consistent output.
To help you plan, here are factors that influence cost, timeline, and which tankless unit is right:
Peak hot water demand — number of bathrooms, fixtures, simultaneous usage
Type of fuel — gas vs electric; gas units may need higher BTU supply and appropriate venting, which adds cost
Location and venting required — interior vs exterior mounting, length of vent run, whether new vent or chimney modifications are needed
Existing plumbing condition — age and piping configuration; need for pipe upgrades or modifications
Water hardness & maintenance requirements — in hard water areas, scaling can reduce efficiency unless you plan for periodic flushing or water treatment
Permits and code compliance — local building codes, inspections, permit fees
Upfront cost vs long-term savings — tankless models tend to cost more initially, but energy savings + longer lifespan often offset over time
