At Dailey Company, Inc., we help Houston homeowners upgrade from traditional tank-style water heaters to modern tankless systems. Tankless water heaters deliver endless hot water, save space, and can reduce energy costs — but proper installation and choosing the right system are key to long-term performance.
Recently, our team completed an installation featuring a Navien NPE-240A2, one of the most trusted tankless water heaters on the market. The customer wanted to upgrade from their old tank system and add a commercial-style ice maker in their garage. By completing both projects together, we saved them time and money while ensuring a professional installation built to last.
Why Homeowners Choose Tankless Water Heaters
- Instant Hot Water: Systems like the Navien NPE-240A2 feature built-in buffer tanks that eliminate the “cold-water sandwich” effect.
- Recirculation Options: Navien includes an integrated recirculation pump so you won’t have to wait for hot water to reach your shower.
- Flexible Venting: Many tankless models allow for standard PVC venting in multiple configurations, lowering installation costs and avoiding unnecessary roof penetrations.
- Long-Term Protection: Navien’s 15-year heat exchanger warranty far exceeds the standard for tank-style water heaters.
- Energy Efficiency: On-demand heating reduces standby energy loss, saving you money.
What Sets a Professional Tankless Installation Apart
A quality installation makes all the difference for safety, performance, and longevity. At Dailey Company, Inc., we follow best practices for every tankless water heater installation in Houston — including this recent Navien NPE-240A2 project.
For this job, we:
- Dropped water lines inside the wall and added a fire-resistant panel backing (FRP) for safety and a clean finish.
- Installed a tankless-specific drain pan to protect surrounding areas from leaks or drips.
- Added a thermal expansion tank or valve to prevent plumbing damage from pressure fluctuations.
- Included a condensate neutralizer filter to protect your pipes and the environment.
These careful steps are why our installations deliver reliable performance for years.
