Tankless water heaters

Tankless water heater installation in Asheville

A tankless unit gives you continuous hot water and frees up space, but it is more demanding to install than a tank. An undersized gas line or the wrong unit leaves you with lukewarm water and error codes. We handle the whole job, from sizing to the gas line to the final test.
  • Hot water that keeps upWater is heated as you use it, so back-to-back showers don't run the tank dry.
  • Built to lastA well-maintained tankless unit can last 20 years or more, compared with 10 to 15 for a tank.
  • Sized to your homeWe size the unit to your peak demand and check your venting and water quality first.
  • Gas line includedIf your gas line is too small for the new unit, we replace it as part of the same job.

Not sure what's wrong?

Common plumbing problems and what they usually mean

A quick guide to what we find behind the calls we get most. If yours isn't here, call and describe it.
  • Several drains are slow at the same time

    The blockage is usually in the main sewer line, not in each fixture.

    Sewer & Water Lines
  • No hot water, or it runs out fast

    Often a failed element, thermostat, or gas control. A leaking tank needs replacing.

    Water Heaters
  • A drain that keeps clogging

    Grease, roots, or a sagging pipe. A camera inspection shows the cause.

    Drain Cleaning
  • Low water pressure throughout the house

    Corroded galvanized pipe or a failing pressure-reducing valve is the usual cause.

    Pipe Repair & Repiping
  • Pipes bang when a faucet shuts off

    Water pressure is likely too high. A pressure-reducing valve usually fixes it.

    Residential Plumbing
  • Orange stains or a metallic taste

    Iron in well water. A filtration system removes it and protects your fixtures.

  • Burst pipe repair
    MRJ Plumbing truly saved my day when my pipes burst after the big winter snow storm. They showed up like a knight in shining armor — quick, courteous, and they explained everything. You can tell they care about people, not just the job.
    Okoyes A.
  • Great experience with Marcel and MRJ. Quick to assess and troubleshoot a plumbing issue that turned out not to be the lurking monster we thought. Honest, straightforward, reasonable, and professional.
    Craig S.
  • MRJ Plumbing was able to fit us in at the last minute and completed the job quickly and affordably. Also, locally owned. Will call again without hesitation.
    Katie K.
  • Bathroom plumbing
    Marcel and his team showed up on short notice several times and they were always on time. Our bathroom threw them a couple curveballs, but they figured it out. I highly recommend them.
    Chris J.
  • Sink and faucet repair
    Easy to schedule. They arrived fully equipped, great diagnosis, quick work, and left a clean workspace. The repair was fully explained and a very fair price.
    Andre C.
  • Water heater repair
    Marcel and Tooley came out on a Saturday evening and fixed my water heater by replacing the elements and thermostat — for $100. That saved me from a nearly $10,000 quote elsewhere. Honesty, knowledge, and professionalism.
