Superior Tankless Water Heater Installations by Denver’s Top Plumbing Experts
A tankless water heater heats water as you need it instead of storing dozens of gallons of hot water in a tank. That can provide a continuous supply of hot water within the system’s rated flow capacity while reducing the standby energy losses associated with traditional storage water heaters.
But going tankless is not as simple as choosing the unit with the highest advertised gallons per minute.
The right tankless water heater depends on how many fixtures your household may use at the same time, the temperature of the incoming water, the temperature you want at the tap, your existing gas or electrical capacity, venting, plumbing layout, and whether you want features such as hot-water recirculation.
Your Cooper Green Team installs tankless water heaters throughout Denver and the surrounding metro area. Our licensed plumbing professionals can evaluate your current system, calculate your hot-water demand, and help you compare gas tankless, electric tankless, traditional storage, and heat-pump water heater options.

Call (720) 605-7270 or schedule your complimentary estimate online. Tell us whether you are replacing an existing tankless unit, converting from a traditional tank, dealing with a failed water heater, or planning the project proactively.
Our plumbing professional will discuss how your household uses hot water. We may consider: Number of occupants, number of bathrooms, simultaneous showers, large tubs, Dishwasher and laundry use, desired water temperature, current hot-water problems, and future household needs. We use those factors to estimate the flow rate your new system should support.
A tankless conversion can affect more than the water pipes. Depending on the equipment, we may evaluate: Gas-line size and capacity, venting, combustion air, water piping, condensate drainage, equipment location, available wall space, water quality, and potential recirculation needs This step helps identify installation requirements before the project begins.
We will explain which systems can support your expected flow and temperature rise. You can compare equipment efficiency, maximum flow rate, controls, recirculation features, warranties, installation requirements, and upfront price before deciding. If tankless does not make sense for the property or budget, we can also help you compare a traditional tank or heat-pump water heater.
You will receive a clear proposal describing the equipment and installation work. If the project requires gas piping, venting, electrical work, condensate drainage, plumbing changes, or another upgrade, those requirements should be identified before installation whenever possible.
Our team disconnects and removes the existing equipment when replacement is part of the approved project. We protect the surrounding work area and prepare the new equipment location.
Our licensed professionals install the approved water heater, connections, venting, controls, drainage, and other included components. After installation, we test system operation and verify hot-water delivery.
Before leaving, we explain temperature controls, basic operation, maintenance recommendations, warranty information, and any recirculation features included with the equipment. Qualifying work is backed by Cooper’s 1-year labor warranty and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

—Cindy C. | Colorado HomeownerBrendon and Abel from Cooper responded immediately to our old faulty water heaters. The next day, they removed the old ones and installed the new ones in a timely manner. The pricing was fair and the gentlemen were very professional and pleasant to have in my home. The Cooper Green Team will always be my go-to service company. Many thanks for a job well done.
The flow rate indicates how many gallons of hot water a tankless unit can produce per minute. Higher flow rates result in higher costs, but a high-flow system is worth the investment for larger families relying on that water heater all at once.
Gas tankless water heaters are more expensive than electric ones, especially if you need a new gas line installed. However, they have lower monthly operating costs. Cooper installs both systems and can even install a gas line if needed.
Tankless water heater warranties vary, and longer warranties cost more upfront. However, extended warranties can save you a lot on costly repairs later. Ask one of our plumbers for more information on extended warranties.

A tankless water heater heats water as it is needed instead of maintaining a large storage tank.
When a hot-water fixture opens, water flows through the unit and is heated by a gas burner or electric heating element before traveling to the fixture.
A properly sized tankless system can provide continuous hot water as long as the amount of water being used stays within its heating capacity.
It does not provide unlimited gallons per minute.
If several fixtures demand more hot water simultaneously than the unit can heat at the required temperature rise, water temperature or flow may be affected.
The correct GPM depends on how many hot-water fixtures may operate simultaneously and how much water each fixture uses.
A plumber should estimate your peak simultaneous demand rather than choosing equipment based only on household size.
GPM means gallons per minute.
It describes how much hot water the system can produce under specified operating conditions.
The actual available GPM depends partly on the temperature rise required, so the same water heater may deliver different flow rates under different incoming-water conditions.
Temperature rise is the difference between incoming cold-water temperature and the desired hot-water outlet temperature.
For example, heating 50°F incoming water to 120°F requires a 70°F temperature rise.
The greater the required temperature rise, the more heating capacity the tankless unit needs to maintain a particular flow rate.
A tankless system must add enough heat to bring incoming water to the selected outlet temperature.
Colder incoming water requires a larger temperature increase, which can reduce how many gallons per minute a particular unit can deliver.
That makes winter performance an important part of tankless sizing.
Possibly.
The answer depends on the flow rate of each shower, incoming-water temperature, selected outlet temperature, and the tankless unit’s capacity.
The combined demand of both showers and any other operating fixtures must remain within the system’s available output.
A properly sized system may support both simultaneously.
DOE (Department of Energy) specifically notes, however, that simultaneous hot-water uses can reach the flow limit of some tankless systems. That is why peak household demand should be calculated before equipment is selected.
Neither is automatically better.
Gas tankless systems generally offer higher flow capacity and may be more practical for high-demand whole-home applications. Electric tankless units eliminate combustion venting but can require substantial electrical capacity.
The better option depends on utility service, household demand, equipment cost, operating cost, installation requirements, and available space.
Sometimes.
Whole-home gas tankless water heaters can have significantly different fuel-input requirements from conventional storage water heaters.
The existing gas piping must be evaluated for the selected equipment and the other gas appliances it serves. A larger or reconfigured gas line may be required.
Most modern gas tankless water heaters require electricity for controls, ignition, sensors, fans, or other operating components.
A standard gas tankless system therefore may not operate during an electrical outage unless it has an appropriate backup power source.
Most electronically controlled gas and electric tankless water heaters will not operate normally without electricity.
A gas burner does not necessarily mean the system can run without electrical power because the controls, ignition, sensors, and venting fan may require electricity.
Gas-fired tankless water heaters require an approved method for exhausting combustion gases.
The vent material and configuration depend on whether the system is condensing or non-condensing, manufacturer specifications, equipment location, and applicable code requirements.
Electric tankless water heaters do not require combustion venting.
They can be.
DOE (Department of Energy) reports that demand water heaters eliminate storage-related standby losses and can be more energy efficient than conventional storage systems, although the amount of improvement depends on household hot-water use and the equipment being compared.
It may, but savings should not be guaranteed.
Operating cost depends on hot-water consumption, fuel prices, equipment efficiency, system sizing, maintenance, recirculation settings, and the water heater being replaced.
Not necessarily.
The heater begins producing hot water on demand, but water still has to travel from the unit through the plumbing to the fixture.
A bathroom located far from the water heater may still have a noticeable wait.
Cost depends on the tankless unit, required GPM, fuel type, efficiency, gas-line work, venting, condensate drainage, electrical requirements, plumbing changes, recirculation, installation location, permitting, and warranty.
A tank-to-tankless conversion may cost more than replacing an existing compatible tankless water heater because additional infrastructure may need to be modified.
