Family recommends and installs Navien tankless water heaters and also diagnoses and repairs other major brands. Equipment selection needs to account for hot-water demand and the home's installation requirements.
Will tankless make every faucet instantly hot?
Not by itself. Plumbing distance still affects delivery time. Tell Family which fixtures have a long wait and ask whether the selected Navien model and a suitable recirculation arrangement address that goal.

What should I ask about maintenance?
Ask for the model-specific maintenance tasks and schedule. Navien’s guidance includes more than flushing: applicable screens, condensate components, and operating checks also need consideration.
