More Than 20 Years of Experience Behind Your Tankless Installation

When you’re trusting someone with gas lines, venting, and your home’s hot water supply, qualifications matter. RPG Plumbing Services was founded by Pat Goad, a plumbing professional with more than 20 years of hands-on experience. That background shapes how we plan each tankless project, from careful sizing to neat final installation.

Our Class A Contractor license and Master Plumber and Master Gas Fitter certifications are directly tied to the work involved in modern tankless systems. Pat Goad is also a Navien Certified Technician, which reflects specific training on the on-demand water heating equipment we install. Tankless units often require adjustments to gas supply and venting, and those tasks must follow building codes and manufacturer requirements. Our licensed plumbers apply that training to the gas supply, venting, and manufacturer requirements for each installation.

We’ve been serving this area since 2015, and in that time we’ve helped thousands of customers with residential and commercial plumbing needs. Many of those calls involve restoring hot water as quickly and safely as possible. That local history means we’re familiar with the way homes here are built and how utility spaces are laid out.

Is a Tankless Water Heater Right for Your Home?

Before you commit to any new system, you need to know whether a tankless water heater fits your home and lifestyle. Tankless systems heat water on demand instead of storing a heated reserve. When properly sized, they can provide a continuous supply of hot water while fixtures are drawing within the unit’s capacity. They can also free up space compared to a large storage tank.

Not every home uses hot water in the same way. A smaller household that uses one shower at a time has very different needs from a busy family that runs multiple showers, a dishwasher, and a washing machine in the same hour. We look at how many fixtures you use at once, your preferred water temperature, and your existing gas or electrical service before recommending a tankless unit.

Homes in Virginia Beach often have a mix of older and newer construction. Some have compact closets or garages for mechanical equipment, while others have more open utility rooms. These details affect where a tankless heater can be mounted and how we route venting and water lines. Our team evaluates these factors during an on-site visit so you don’t have to guess.

Here are common signs a tankless system may be a good fit for your home:

• You frequently run out of hot water during back-to-back showers.
• Your current tank is old, leaking, or has needed several recent repairs.
• You want to save space in a closet, garage, or utility room.
• You plan to live in your home long enough to value long-term efficiency and lifespan.
• Your home has natural gas service available, or you’re open to electric options where suitable.

During a visit, we review your existing water heater, measure hot-water demand, and inspect gas lines, venting paths, and electrical panels. That assessment gives you a realistic picture of what a tankless upgrade would involve for your specific property.

Our Tankless Installation Process

We plan the work to minimize disruption, including in older Virginia Beach homes with tighter utility spaces.

Our tankless installation process includes:

• The process usually begins with a phone conversation and a visit from one of our licensed plumbers. During that visit, we inspect your existing heater, discuss how you use hot water, and confirm the size and type of tankless system that fits your needs. We then prepare a detailed estimate that includes equipment, labor, and any upgrades that may be needed for gas lines, venting, or electrical connections.
• On installation day, our team arrives with the equipment and materials needed for your job. We protect nearby flooring and work areas, then shut down and disconnect the old water heater. If your project involves gas line adjustments or new venting, our Master Gas Fitter and trained plumbers handle that work in line with the plumbing and mechanical codes used by the City of Virginia Beach.
• Once the new tankless heater is mounted and connected to water, gas, power, and venting, we complete a series of tests. These include checking for leaks, confirming burner or heating performance, and verifying that hot water reaches your fixtures as expected. We plan installation to keep the time without hot water as short as practical, although the exact timing depends on the complexity of your home’s setup.
• Before we leave, we walk you through the unit’s controls, temperature settings, and basic maintenance steps, such as flushing and descaling. We also review any documentation from the manufacturer and our own paperwork, so you know how to contact us if you have questions after the installation.
