Installing Tankless Water Heater in Seattle, WA

Recently, a crew from Bee’s Plumbing completed a tankless water heater installation at a residential home in Seattle, WA, led by Eddie and his apprentice Andres. The homeowner was looking to upgrade from a traditional tank system to a more efficient solution that could provide consistent hot water while saving space.

After reviewing the home’s setup, the team installed a Navien NPE-240 tankless water heater, connecting it to the existing gas, venting, electrical, and water lines. Careful attention was given to proper airflow, condensate drainage, and safety connections to ensure the system would operate efficiently and reliably.

Once installed, the unit was tested to confirm steady performance. Because this model does not include a buffer tank, the homeowner was advised about the possibility of brief temperature fluctuations during start-up — a normal characteristic of this style of tankless system.

This project highlights how tankless water heaters can be a practical upgrade for homeowners in Seattle looking to improve efficiency, save space, and enjoy on-demand hot water. With the right installation and clear communication, the transition from a tank system can be smooth and stress-free.
