Water Heater & Tankless Electrical in Las Vegas & Henderson
Electric and tankless water heaters need the right circuit, breaker, and panel capacity to run safely. Penny Electric handles the electrical side of water heater and tankless installs across Las Vegas and Henderson.
Here's where the electrical work comes in.
Electric and tankless water heaters draw significant power — an electric tankless unit in particular can require heavy dedicated circuits and enough panel capacity to support it. The electrical side of the job — running the right circuit, sizing the breaker, and confirming your panel can handle the load — is what a licensed electrician provides, whether it's a new unit or a tankless conversion.

Water Heater Electrical FAQ
Do you install the water heater, or just the electrical?
Penny Electric handles the electrical side — the dedicated circuit, breaker, and panel capacity a water heater or tankless unit needs. We can coordinate with your plumber for the unit itself.
Does an electric tankless water heater need a special circuit?
Yes — electric tankless units draw heavy power and typically require one or more dedicated high-amperage circuits, plus enough panel capacity to support them. We assess and install exactly what your unit requires.
Can my electrical panel handle a tankless water heater?
Not always — electric tankless units are high-draw, and older or smaller panels may need an upgrade first. We assess your panel capacity before installation and flag if an upgrade is needed.
My water heater keeps tripping the breaker — can you fix it?
Yes. A water heater that trips its breaker usually has a circuit, breaker, or wiring problem. We diagnose and repair the electrical fault.
Do you handle both electric water heater and tankless conversions?
Yes — we handle the electrical work for standard electric water heaters and for conversions to electric tankless on-demand units.
