Tank to Tankless Water Heater Conversion
Tank to Tankless Conversion on the Northshore
If your tank water heater is aging out or you are tired of running out of hot water, switching to a tankless system is worth considering. Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, so you only pay for hot water when you actually use it. Drake Plumbing handles full tank to tankless conversions for homeowners across the Northshore, including Hammond, Ponchatoula, Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, and Slidell.
A tankless conversion is more involved than a standard water heater replacement. Your gas lines, venting, and electrical setup may all need modifications to support the new system. That is why it is important to work with a licensed plumber who knows what the job actually requires and will not cut corners to save time.


A Small Business That Puts You First
Drake Plumbing is a locally owned and operated small business, not a private equity backed corporation like many of the plumbing companies showing up across the Northshore. When you call us, you are talking to real people who live and work in this community. We are not a franchise running off a script, and we do not answer to investors trying to profit off your conversion project. We answer to you.
Tankless conversions are a bigger investment than a standard tank replacement, and not every home is the right fit. We will evaluate your current setup and give you an honest answer about whether going tankless makes sense for your household. If it does, we will walk you through exactly what the job involves and what it will cost before we start any work. If it does not, we will tell you that too. No pressure, no upselling. Just straight answers from a team you can trust.

What a Tank to Tankless Conversion Involves
Old Unit Removal and Disposal
We start by disconnecting and removing your existing tank water heater. We handle the full disposal so you do not have to worry about getting a bulky old unit out of your home yourself.
Gas Line
Upgrades
Tankless water heaters typically require a larger gas line than traditional tank units. If your existing line cannot support the new system, we upgrade it as part of the conversion to make sure your unit performs the way it should.
Venting
Modifications
Tank and tankless water heaters use different venting systems. Converting to tankless usually requires new venting or rerouting exhaust to an exterior wall. We make sure everything is done to code and properly sized for your new unit.
