Why Choose Us?
Your plumbing and heating company in Monmouth & Ocean County, NJ.
A tankless water heater heats water as it flows, so there is no tank sitting in your basement keeping 50 gallons warm around the clock. Done properly it means hot water that does not run out and a unit that takes up a fraction of the space. Done badly it means lukewarm showers, a unit that short cycles, and a gas line that cannot feed it.
AME Plumbing Heating and Cooling installs tankless systems across Monmouth and Ocean County, and we size, vent and gas-feed them as one job rather than three.
Why Homeowners Switch
An honest answer before you spend the money.
Tankless is not automatically the right call, and we would rather tell you that before the install than after. It makes the most sense when your household runs hot water in long or overlapping stretches, when you want the floor space back, or when a tank has failed and you are replacing anyway.
It makes less sense if your gas service cannot support the demand without an upgrade, or if your hot water use is light and occasional. In older shore properties especially, the gas line and the venting route decide the job as much as the unit does. We look at those first and tell you plainly which way it falls.
Tank, tankless, repair and replacement.
We work on both kinds. If a tankless system is not the right fit for your home we will say so and fit a conventional tank properly instead. If your existing tankless unit is running cold, cycling or throwing an error code, we repair those too.

How a Tankless Installation Runs
The most common tankless complaint is an install problem, not a unit problem
When people say a tankless system disappointed them, it is usually one of three things: it was undersized for the house, the gas line could not feed it, or nobody ever descaled it. All three are decided at installation. That is why we spend the time on sizing and gas supply before we talk about models.
AME Plumbing Heating & Cooling: Installation, Repair and Maintenance
We cover the whole life of the system:
From the first visit to endless hot water
The walkthrough. We look at your current setup, your gas meter and service, the venting options and where the unit can be mounted. We ask how your household actually uses hot water, because that is what sizes the unit.
The honest recommendation. You get a straight answer on whether tankless is worth it in your home, what the gas or venting work would involve, and what a conventional tank would cost instead.
The install. Usually a single day for a straightforward swap, longer if the gas line or venting needs work. The old tank goes with us.
Afterwards. We set the temperature with you, show you the maintenance the warranty expects, and you have our number for 24 hour emergency service if anything goes wrong.
Not realistically, and not legally in most cases. A tankless install ties into your gas supply and needs its own venting, and in New Jersey that work requires a licensed plumber and usually a permit. A DIY tankless install is the one that ends up undersized, badly vented, or failing inspection when the house is sold.
Most homes with a decent gas service can run one, but the gas line is the thing to check. A tankless unit draws far more gas while it is firing than a tank does, so a line that was fine for the old heater may need upsizing. We check the meter and the run before quoting, so there is no surprise mid-install.
It depends on the unit, your gas and venting situation, and whether an old tank has to come out. We quote after we have looked, not before, and the estimate is free. Financing is available if you would rather spread it.
Usually scale. New Jersey water leaves mineral deposits inside the heat exchanger, and a unit that has never been descaled will start running cooler and eventually fault. Annual descaling is the single thing that keeps a tankless system performing and keeps most warranties valid.
Cold water sandwiching, where a burst of cold arrives between two hot stretches, is normal in a basic setup and fixable. It usually comes from short draws cycling the burner. The fix is either a recirculation setup or a small buffer tank, and we will tell you which your home needs.
Descale it once a year, keep the inlet filter clean, and do not ignore an error code. That is most of it. We offer maintenance visits and can do the descaling as part of a scheduled call.
