A homeowner in Albuquerque, NM wanted a more efficient and reliable hot water solution. Their existing system was no longer meeting their needs, and access to the main water shutoff valve was inconvenient. The B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing team installed a new high-efficiency Navien tankless water heater and relocated the main water valve for easier access. The result was endless hot water, improved efficiency, and a safer, more functional plumbing setup.
Job Overview
- Location: Albuquerque, NM
- Client Type: Residential
- Scope: Remove existing water heater, install high-efficiency tankless water heater, relocate main water shutoff valve
- Equipment Installed: Navien NPE-210A2 high-efficiency tankless water heater
- Additional Work (if any): Main water valve relocation, system reconnections, performance testing
- Why It Mattered: Reliable hot water and safe shutoff access are essential for daily comfort and emergency preparedness.
What We Found
The homeowner’s previous water heating system was limiting performance and efficiency. Traditional systems can run out of hot water during heavy use, and older setups may not operate as efficiently as modern tankless models.
We also found that the main water shutoff valve was not ideally located, which can make it harder to quickly turn off water during a plumbing emergency. Easy access to this valve is an important safety feature for any home.
The Solution
Our team removed the existing unit and completed a professional tankless water heater installation in Albuquerque using a Navien NPE-210A2 high-efficiency model. We handled all necessary plumbing connections, gas line tie-ins, venting adjustments, and system configuration according to manufacturer specifications.
In addition, we relocated the main water shutoff valve to a more accessible location. After installation, we tested the system for proper operation, checked for leaks, confirmed correct water temperature settings, and ensured the unit was running at peak efficiency.
