What we did
Space was the priority for this Lexington homeowner. In March 2026 we installed a Navien NPE-240A2 tankless water heater, with the setup planned around making better use of the room it sits in.
Getting the layout right took more than hanging a unit on the wall. We cut into the wall and redirected three water lines so the plumbing would serve both the new water heater and a laundry sink positioned beneath it. Rerouting those lines let the two fixtures share the same footprint instead of competing for floor space. Once the lines were in place, we completed the installation and left the homeowner with the arrangement they were after.
A tankless water heater mounts on the wall rather than standing on the floor like a traditional tank, which frees up room in utility areas, laundry rooms, and basements. In many Kentucky homes those spaces are already tight, so reclaiming even a few square feet can make a real difference in how the room gets used. Planning the water lines around the whole space, not just the heater, is what makes that possible. If you are thinking about going tankless or rearranging a cramped utility area, we can come out and talk through the options for your home.
