Few upgrades deliver immediate comfort, long-term savings, and a lighter environmental footprint quite like a tankless water heater. In Riverside’s warm climate, families demand steady hot water for showers, dishwashers, and laundry without paying to keep 40 gallons heated around the clock. Tankless units fire only when needed, cutting standby losses and trimming utility bills by up to 40 %. CountBricks is leading the charge by pairing real-time voice estimating with AI-powered material pricing to make the switch smoother and more predictable than ever.

Standard tanks run 3,000+ hours a year just to keep water hot. A tankless model fires only during demand, often less than 500 hours. Riverside Gas Department data shows:
• Average storage-tank home: 200 therms/year for water heating
• Average tankless home: 120 therms/year
At $2.20 per therm, that’s about $176 saved annually—paying for the upgrade in as little as five years while emissions drop 40 %.
CountBricks field techs measure incoming pressure during the walkthrough. If capacity is marginal, we coordinate meter upsizing with the utility at no extra management fee.
Most Riverside homes are completed in one workday. Complex rerouting may extend to two days, but your estimate will spell this out clearly.
