Blackburn Plumbing has served Topeka and Northeast Kansas since 2010, and tankless water heaters are a regular part of that work. Whether you are pricing your first on-demand system, replacing a unit that has aged out, or chasing down a fault in a heater you already own, the job starts with the same Licensed Master Plumber.
This page gathers our tankless work in one place so you can go straight to what you need. Pick the service below, or call 785-260-0299 and describe what your hot water is doing.

Compare tank water heatersA plain comparison of the two systems for Topeka homeowners who are weighing an upgrade, covering how each one heats water, what maintenance looks like, and how long they last.
Read the comparisonA storage water heater keeps a tank full of water hot around the clock, whether anyone is home or not. A tankless unit heats water only as it moves through the heater, which is why it is described as on-demand. Nothing sits waiting, so nothing is reheated all day, and there is no tank capacity to run out partway through a shower.
That difference shows up in three places Topeka homeowners tend to care about: the energy the heater uses, the floor space it gives back once a wall-mounted unit replaces a tank, and how long the system lasts. With proper maintenance a tankless water heater can last up to 20 years or more.

Call 785-260-0299 Get Your Estimate Financing OptionsTankless heaters are efficient and convenient, but they are more complex than a storage tank and they reward being worked on by someone who knows them. A service call on a tankless system can touch the gas line feeding it, the venting carrying exhaust out, the water connections, and the control board running the whole thing. Those are all in scope for our team.
Scale is the recurring theme in Northeast Kansas. Minerals in the water deposit inside the heat exchanger over time, and that buildup is behind a lot of what people report as noise, weak pressure, or a unit that will not hold a steady temperature. Descaling is a routine part of tankless maintenance for that reason. If hard water is a broader problem in your home, our water filtration and softening services address it at the source rather than one appliance at a time.
On the installation side, the assessment comes before the sale. We look at whether your home's plumbing and electrical systems can support a tankless heater, because sizing a unit the house cannot properly feed is how an upgrade turns into a complaint. We install and service all major tankless brands, including Navien, Rinnai and Rheem, for both homes and commercial properties across Topeka, Lawrence, Holton, Silver Lake and the surrounding communities.
