When energy costs in Silicon Valley climb, homeowners look for smarter ways to save. Replacing a bulky storage tank with an on-demand system is one of the fastest returns on investment you can make. CountBricks brings turnkey tankless water heater San Jose solutions backed by AI-powered estimating, real-time material pricing, and code-compliant installation crews.
Traditional heaters keep 40–80 gallons of water hot 24/7. A tankless unit senses flow the moment you open a tap and rapidly heats water through a high-efficiency heat exchanger—delivering endless hot water without standby losses.
• Zero storage means no risk of tank leaks and flooding
• Up to 40 % lower energy bills versus outdated tanks
• Wall-mounted design frees up garage or closet space
1. High utility rates: PG&E prices rank among the nation’s highest, making every therm of gas or kilowatt of electricity count.
2. Tight building footprints: Bay Area lots are compact; gaining floor space adds value instantly.
3. Green mandates: California’s Title 24 pushes homeowners toward high-performance mechanical systems, and tankless satisfies compliance points with ease.
Unlike generic plumbers, CountBricks merges construction expertise with powerful AI estimation. The moment you say, “Replace my water heater,” our voice-to-estimate engine captures scope, references current supply pricing, and generates a detailed proposal—often before the technician leaves your driveway.
• Permit acquisition and city inspections across all San Jose jurisdictions
• Load calculation and sizing to match household demand
• Venting and gas line upgrades to meet California Mechanical Code
• Disposal of the existing tank (eco-friendly recycling)
• Post-installation flush and customer walkthrough
