Many Shrewsbury homeowners are dealing with the exact same issue and are wondering what the solution is. At Control Point Heating • Cooling • Plumbing • Electric, we offer affordable tankless water heater installation services in Shrewsbury for homeowners who are tired of trying to manage their homes with limited hot water.
What a Tankless Water Heater Does Differently
A traditional water heater keeps a large tank of water hot, all day and night, whether you need it or not. A tankless unit only heats up water when you turn on the faucet. No huge, ugly gray tank taking up space in your home, no constant reheating, and lower energy costs. The switch to a tankless water heater makes a real difference in your day-to-day life:
- The water stays at a steady temperature, instead of constantly fluctuating.
- You don’t have to worry about scheduling dishwasher runs and showers to avoid running through all the hot water.
- Lower energy bills since your heater isn’t wasting energy or fuel to keep a tank of water hot for hours on end.
- Tankless units have a longer lifespan, about 15-20 years, when properly installed and maintained, which is about double the lifespan of a traditional tank that lasts approximately 8-12 years.
- You get essential floor space back since tankless units are wall-mounted.
For many families, not having to stress out about hot water availability is a huge inconvenience off their shoulders.

Is a Tankless Water Heater Install Right for Your House?
- How many people live in your house? If you have a larger family, especially with older children, that means juggling multiple showers/baths each day, brushing teeth, cooking, and dishwashing. You’re running multiple fixtures at once, and that can quickly deplete your available hot water.
- Do you have a natural gas or electric water heater? Gas units heat water much faster and more efficiently than electric units, but switching may require some important setup steps, including evaluating the gas line size, special venting, and an electrical connection. If you want an electric tankless unit, it requires a massive electrical load, and we’ll need to confirm whether your current panel can handle it or whether it needs an upgrade.
- How is the water hardness in your area? Much of Central Massachusetts has soft to moderately hard water, with the Shrewsbury area averaging 85.5 PPM / mg/L (on the higher side). That means that minerals like magnesium and calcium are present in the water, and over time, they can build up in your water heater, reducing its efficiency. During your installation, we can determine if your home also needs a water softener to help maintain the performance of your unit.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a tankless water heater give me endless hot water?
Yes, but it’s important to ensure the unit is correctly sized, which is something our team can take care of. A traditional water heater has a tank that will eventually run empty, but with the right-sized tankless unit, you shouldn’t run out of hot water.
How much will I actually save on my energy bill?
According to ENERGY STAR, a gas tankless water heater can help families save $94 per year, or roughly $1,800 over the lifetime of the unit.
Does a tankless water heater give hot water instantly when I turn on the faucet?
Not quite; you’ll still experience a short delay while the hot water travels from the unit to the fixture the same way it does for a traditional water heater.
I have an older home; can I switch to a tankless unit?
In most cases, yes, but it will depend on the condition of your existing plumbing, gas line, and electrical panel. At Control Point, we offer every type of home service, and our team can evaluate your current situation and determine what is needed for you to make the switch to a tankless unit.
How long does it take to install a tankless water heater?
Most tankless water heater installations can be completed in a single working day, but if there’s additional work that needs to be done, we’ll discuss the timeline with you before we start any work.
Will I be without water during the installation?
Yes, we’ll need to shut off the water temporarily to complete the installation, but our team will work as quickly as possible to minimize disruption.
What if my home has hard water?
We can address this during installation by discussing scale-prevention and water softening options that will protect your unit over time. Additionally, annual flushing will help minimize mineral buildup in the unit.
Does a tankless water heater need a lot of maintenance?
Tankless units need occasional maintenance, mainly flushing the system once a year. Our team provides maintenance guidance and can answer any questions you have. If you join our Total Control VIP Club for only $20/month (or $240/year), you’ll get great benefits like annual electric and plumbing inspections, heating and cooling tune-ups, priority service, 10% off all repairs, and much more.
