Cost guide
Tankless water heater installation cost depends heavily on whether it's a direct swap for an existing tankless unit or a conversion from a tank system, since a conversion often requires gas line upsizing, new venting, and electrical work that a like-for-like swap does not.
Quick answer
Range guidance
A straightforward tankless-to-tankless replacement is usually simpler than a tank-to-tankless conversion. Unit capacity (GPM), gas versus electric, venting changes, gas line sizing, and old tank removal or disposal all affect the final cost -- ask which of these apply to your home before comparing quotes.

Stop the water source if safe, avoid using affected fixtures, protect people from contaminated water, and request help.
Use the closest working shutoff valve, keep water away from electrical areas, and request leak help quickly if water keeps spreading.
Treat it as urgent when more than one fixture backs up, wastewater appears, or the problem blocks essential use.
Multiple slow drains, sewer odor, toilet gurgling, dirty tub water, or outdoor cleanout overflow should be treated as urgent warning signs.
No usable toilet, no hot water for vulnerable occupants, or water near unsafe areas can justify urgent guidance.
Avoid chemical cleaners once water has backed up. They can create splash risk and may not solve a deeper blockage.
Share the city, affected fixtures, whether water is active, any sewer odor, and whether the problem is getting worse.
