The Endless Frustration of Cold Showers & Bulky Tanks
Waiting for a traditional storage tank to reheat can put your morning on hold, especially in large households or during heavy-use periods. Traditional water heaters constantly heat and reheat gallons of water even when you are asleep or away, quietly driving up your utility bills. Additionally, standard tank designs are bulky, taking up precious storage space and posing a continuous risk of massive flooding should the tank rust out and fail.
Whether you are struggling with a unit that requires constant water heater repair in Lexington or dealing with a ruptured tank in Willisburg, continuous hot water is not a luxury—it is an essential requirement. Transitioning to a wall-mounted tankless unit solves these hot water struggles permanently.
The Right There Plumbing Difference
At Right There Plumbing, we are highly specialized in full-infrastructure plumbing upgrades. Transitioning to a tankless system requires precise calculations for water flow, electrical load, and safe gas exhaust. Because our team also handles complex whole-house repiping, commercial boiler configurations, under-sink leak repairs, and high-capacity commercial water heater services, we have the specialized training to retrofit your utility room safely and efficiently.

We analyze household fixture demands in Frankfort and Versailles to size your new tankless unit perfectly for your specific water usage.
2. Upgrade Quote
We deliver a flat-rate, transparent quote covering structural mounting, gas line sizing adjustments, water feeds, and ventilation requirements.
3. Expert Installation
Our technicians in Lawrenceburg and Georgetown mount the unit, calibrate gas pressures, and wire electrical controllers with absolute precision.
4. Comprehensive Testing
We perform high-pressure gas tests, water flow calibrations, and safety flue exhaust checks, leaving the worksite clean and fully optimized.
Job Timelines & Pricing Factors
Average Job Durations
- Direct Retrofit (Replacement): 3 to 5 hours. (This includes swapping an older tankless unit for a modern, high-efficiency model).
- Full Storage-to-Tankless Conversion: 1 full working day. This comprehensive process requires running water lines to the wall mount, adjusting gas feeds, routing safe venting, and running electrical lines.
- Plumbing Flush Service: 1 to 2 hours. (Highly recommended annually to clear mineral sediment, preventing scaling inside the heat exchanger).
Pricing Factors
We are proud to serve communities across Harrodsburg, Danville, Springfield, Perryville, and Burgin with completely transparent pricing driven by:
- Energy Source: Gas-fired tankless models require complex concentric venting systems, whereas high-amperage electric models often require dedicated circuit panel upgrades.
- Flow Rate & Capacity: Sizing the unit’s gallons-per-minute (GPM) output to match your household’s peak demands (e.g., running multiple showers and appliances simultaneously).
- Gas Line Sizing: Gas-fired tankless units have high BTU demands, occasionally requiring an upgrade from a standard 1/2-inch line to a high-capacity 3/4-inch supply feed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the primary benefits of upgrading to a tankless water heater?
Tankless systems provide an endless supply of hot water because they heat water on-demand rather than storing it. They are up to 34% more energy-efficient than standard tanks, saving you money on monthly utility bills. They are also compact, wall-mounted, and last twice as long (up to 20 years) compared to traditional storage water heaters.
Does my home require utility upgrades to install a tankless system?
It depends on the fuel type. Gas tankless units have very high burner rates, which may require upgrading your supply lines or adjusting gas pressures. Electric tankless units have significant electrical draws, often requiring a dedicated 200-amp electrical panel upgrade. Our technicians carefully inspect your utilities to determine if any modifications are needed.
How often do tankless water heaters require maintenance?
To keep your manufacturer’s warranty active and protect the copper heat exchanger from scaling, tankless units should be professionally flushed once a year. If your home has hard water, minerals can collect inside the narrow heating tubes, restricting water flow and reducing heat transfer efficiency. A professional system flush completely removes this scaling.
