Homeowners love the endless hot water and energy savings a tankless gas unit can deliver, but the price tag to install one can feel mysterious. CountBricks removes that mystery. By combining real-time material pricing, local labor data, and voice-driven takeoffs, our AI platform produces crystal-clear estimates in minutes—no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
• Bid accuracy builds client trust and protects profit margins
• Detailed line items prevent mid-project change-order disputes

1. Unit size and efficiency rating – Larger GPM and condensing models cost more upfront but cut energy bills.
2. Gas line upgrades – Converting from a tank unit often means upsizing piping or meters.
3. Venting requirements – Stainless steel concentric vent kits add hardware and rough-in labor.
4. Electrical upgrades – Most tankless units need a 120V outlet for controls and freeze protection.
5. Site constraints – Attic installs, long vent runs, or slab penetrations increase labor hours.
CountBricks project data shows a national median of $3,400–$5,600 for turnkey installation using mid-range 199k BTU condensing units. Material makes up roughly 55 %, labor 35 %, and permitting/overhead 10 %. Every home is unique—our voice assistant captures those nuances while you walk the site so your quote mirrors reality.

• Live material feeds pull current pricing from regional suppliers.
