Tankless Installation
A tankless water heater delivers endless hot water on demand and uses less energy than a tank — but the installation has to be done right. Wrong sizing or inadequate gas line capacity and it won't perform. We've been installing tankless units in DFW since 1990.

Tankless Repair
A tankless water heater showing an error code or delivering cold water needs a technician who knows the system — not a trial-and-error parts swap. We diagnose the specific fault, quote the fix, and repair it on the same visit in most cases.

Maintenance & Flushing
A $150 annual maintenance visit can add years to a water heater's life. In DFW's moderately hard water, sediment builds fast — flushing it out and replacing the anode rod on schedule is the single most effective thing you can do to prevent early tank failure.

Water Heaters Common Questions
Straight answers before you call.
How long does a water heater last in North Texas?
With our moderately hard water, tank water heaters typically last 8–12 years and tankless units 15–20 years with annual descaling. An annual flush is the single cheapest way to extend either.
What brands does Staggs Plumbing install?
We are certified installers for Rinnai and Navien tankless systems, and we service and install Rheem, Noritz, and other major brands. Every installation includes haul-away of the old unit.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Plano?
Yes — Texas municipalities, including Plano, require a permit for water heater replacement. Staggs Plumbing pulls the permit and the installation is done to current code, including pan, venting, and expansion tank requirements.
Why am I getting less hot water than I used to?
In a tank unit, sediment buildup is the usual cause — hard water minerals settle and steal capacity, often with a popping sound. A flush can restore it if caught early. In a tankless unit, scale on the heat exchanger restricts flow; descaling fixes it.
Can you replace my water heater today?
Usually, yes. We stock common tank sizes and answer 24/7. Call 682-284-0966.
