If you live in Larkspur, you’ve probably heard neighbors talk about tankless water heaters — especially as utility bills keep rising and families outgrow their old tank systems.
But are tankless systems really worth it? And what do you need to know before making the switch?
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we install and maintain tankless units across Mobile County, including right here in Larkspur. Here are answers to the most common questions homeowners ask us before upgrading.
❓What’s the biggest benefit of going tankless?
The #1 reason people switch is endless hot water.
With tankless, water is heated on demand — so you’re not limited by a 40- or 50-gallon tank.
Great for:
- Families with back-to-back showers
- Homes with whirlpool tubs
- People tired of running out mid-rinse
❓Will it really save money?
Yes — over time.
Tankless units are more energy-efficient because they only heat water when you use it. No standby losses from heating a tank 24/7.
In many Larkspur homes, we’ve seen gas bills drop by 20–40%, depending on usage.
❓Can I install one in my existing home?
Absolutely — most Larkspur homes qualify.
Before we install, we check:
- Your gas line size and water pressure
- Where the unit can be mounted
- Venting options and condensation drains
It typically takes just one day for a full tank-to-tankless swap.
❓How long do tankless water heaters last?
Most models last 20 years or more with basic maintenance.
That’s nearly double the life of most traditional tank units — and parts are often easier to replace without replacing the whole system.

❓Do I need to maintain it?
Yes — but it’s easy.
We recommend a yearly flush (especially with Mobile’s mineral-heavy water) to prevent scale buildup inside the unit.
We offer maintenance packages or can walk you through DIY steps if you prefer.
