When temperatures swing from cool desert nights to blazing summer afternoons, Albuquerque homeowners need hot water systems that respond instantly and work efficiently. A tankless water heater delivers precisely that—and CountBricks makes every stage of the project effortless. Our AI-driven estimate platform captures costs in real time while our licensed residential construction teams handle permits, installation, and inspection. The result is a faster upgrade, fewer surprises, and long-term energy savings for your household.
A traditional tank heats and reheats 40–80 gallons of water 24/7. By contrast, tankless units flash-heat water only when you open a tap. That shift offers three core benefits:
• Up to 40 % lower energy consumption, which translates into smaller utility bills
• Endless hot water on demand for back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishwashing
• Wall-mounted design that reclaims floor space in tight Albuquerque utility rooms

Gas flow is the single biggest hurdle when retrofitting a tankless water heater in older Albuquerque homes. Oversized burners need a wider gas line, and city code requires proof of compliance before ignition. CountBricks technicians perform an on-site BTU load calculation, then feed the numbers into our estimate engine. If upsizing is required, the cost and timeline are presented instantly—no hidden change orders.
Even gas-fired tankless units need a dedicated 120V outlet for the control board and freeze protection. Homes in the Northeast Heights or historic Old Town often lack spare circuits. CountBricks coordinates with our in-house residential electrical team to install outlets, GFCI protection, or even panel upgrades all within the same project scope.
The correct size is calculated by gallons-per-minute (GPM) demand at peak usage and incoming groundwater temperature—which averages 57°F in Albuquerque. Our AI tool models simultaneous fixtures and climate data to recommend the ideal unit. Typical scenarios include:
• 6 GPM for a two-bathroom bungalow near UNM
• 8 GPM for a four-bed Ventana Ranch family home
• 10 GPM with recirculation for custom builds in Sandia Heights
CountBricks eliminates guesswork by itemizing every material, labor hour, and permit fee. A sample breakdown might look like:
• Tankless water heater (condensing, 8 GPM): $1,165
• Gas line upsizing (20 ft, black iron): $420
• Vent kit & roof penetration: $280
• Electrical outlet & GFCI: $145
• Labor, removal, installation, calibration: $1,050
• Permit & inspection: $115
Total Estimate: $3,175
Because our system syncs with local supplier pricing every hour, your quote always reflects current market rates.
New Mexico offers state tax credits for high-efficiency appliances, and many tankless models qualify for federal 25C credits. CountBricks auto-flags eligible equipment in your estimate and can include line-item financing so you see monthly payment options beside the cash price.
• Schedule an annual descaling to combat Albuquerque’s hard water
• Install a whole-house sediment filter to extend heat-exchanger life
• Use vacation mode during extended trips to conserve energy
• Keep clearance around the intake vent free from desert debris
• Pair with low-flow fixtures to maximize efficiency without sacrificing comfort
Production builders and remodelers across the metro area rely on our AI blueprint takeoff tool to drop tankless specs directly onto their drawings. The system returns:
• Exact vent routing through roof or sidewall
• Gas line lengths and required pipe diameters
• Electrical circuit loads for panel schedules
• Labor hours broken down by trade, perfect for subcontractor scheduling
This data feeds into invoices and purchase orders automatically, removing hours of manual entry and reducing budget overruns.
A 1960s adobe home had a leaky 50-gallon tank tucked inside a kitchen closet. The homeowner contacted CountBricks via our voice-estimate app. Within 12 minutes, they received a detailed quote including gas line rerouting through the crawlspace, vent termination through the flat roof, and cabinetry patching. The project wrapped in one workday and freed up enough floor area for a new pantry shelf. Utility bills dropped 32 % over the next six months.
Whether you are replacing a failed tank or designing a new build, CountBricks delivers the fastest, most precise tankless water heater Albuquerque installations in the residential construction market.

A tankless water heater is often the first step toward a smarter, more responsive home plumbing system. CountBricks extends value by designing complementary upgrades that unlock even greater comfort and efficiency.
Traditional hot-water loops waste energy by running 24/7. CountBricks installs demand-activated pumps paired with occupancy sensors. The result is instant hot water at remote faucets with a fraction of the energy draw.
For clients remodeling bathrooms, we offer drain-water heat exchangers that capture warmth from shower wastewater. When combined with a tankless heater, incoming cold water can be pre-warmed by up to 15°F, trimming additional kilowatts from every shower.
Albuquerque’s mineral-rich supply can shorten the lifespan of any appliance. CountBricks technicians sample on-site water during your estimate appointment. Based on hardness levels, we recommend filtration or softening solutions that integrate seamlessly with the new tankless unit.
Our platform tracks installation dates, run-time hours, and local water conditions. When descaling or filter changes are due, homeowners receive push notifications and can book service in two taps—no guesswork, no forgotten maintenance.
In a recent CountBricks retrofit near the Bosque, pairing a 9 GPM tankless unit with a smart recirculation loop cut standby energy by 81 kWh per month. The homeowner expects payback on the pump upgrade in just 18 months.
If you are planning a broader renovation—kitchen overhaul, bathroom addition, or whole-home plumbing re-pipe—CountBricks can embed tankless technology into a holistic design.
