Fixed pricing from $3,895 installed. We serve 3 ZIP codes across Gaithersburg — 20877, 20878, 20879 — with same-week install availability and every rebate filed for you. 70,000 residents.
Gaithersburg has approximately 70,000 residents and a diverse housing stock — a combination that means thousands of aging 40–50 gallon gas storage tanks are hitting end-of-life at any given moment. The vast majority of those homeowners are now choosing tankless replacement rather than like-for-like tank swaps, and for good reason: endless hot water, 20+ year lifespan, and roughly $95–$200/year in energy savings per Washington Gas data.
Gaithersburg has a wide mix of housing stock — from 1980s Montgomery Village townhomes to newer Kentlands infill. Townhomes in particular often have shared gas meters and tight utility closets, which affects tankless sizing. We specialize in these compact installs.
Gaithersburg draws water from the WSSC system, which blends Potomac and Patuxent sources. Water hardness averages 120–140 mg/L — moderately hard — which means annual flushing is important for tankless longevity.
Gaithersburg falls under Montgomery County permit jurisdiction. We pull the county permit, coordinate the inspection, and ensure sign-off before considering any job complete.
Most Gaithersburg tankless quotes come from general plumbers who may only install 5–10 tankless units per year. We install exclusively tankless — roughly 15–20 per month in Gaithersburg alone — which means faster scheduling, tighter sizing, and no learning curve on our end.
From your first consult to a hot shower is typically 8–12 business days — nearly all of which is Montgomery County permit processing time. Install day itself is a single 6–8 hour visit: we arrive around 8am, the old tank is removed by noon, and the new tankless unit is mounted, commissioned, and flushed before dinner.

"Had three Gaithersburg plumbers give me totally different numbers for the same scope. DMV Tankless was the only one who published pricing online. The price I saw was the exact price I paid."
"Installed the Navien 240A2 with recirculation in our Gaithersburg home. Hot water at every tap in about 8 seconds. Team was in and out in one day — old tank gone, new unit mounted, everything working."
"Best part was they handled the Montgomery County permit and Washington Gas rebate paperwork. Rebate check arrived about 6 weeks later — a real $450 I would not have bothered to file on my own."
These are the actual questions we get during Gaithersburg consults. See the full FAQ for more.
Our three fixed tiers apply identically across all Gaithersburg ZIP codes (20877 · 20878 · 20879): Essential at $3,895, Signature with recirculation at $5,295, and Whole-Home Pro at $7,495. All prices are all-in including Montgomery County permit, standard venting, gas connection, condensate tie-in, old-tank haul-away, first-year flush, and rebate paperwork. Typical Gaithersburg homeowners qualify for $1,150–$1,400 in stacked rebates.
Install day itself is 6–8 hours. From your first consult to install is typically 8–12 business days in Gaithersburg — the majority of that time is Montgomery County permit processing. Emergency installs (same-week) are available for a flat $395 rush fee.
Yes. Every Gaithersburg install includes Montgomery County permit filing and inspection scheduling as part of the fixed price. Skipping the permit voids homeowners insurance coverage for water damage claims and creates issues at resale. We hand you the signed-off inspection card before we consider the job complete.

We file every form on your behalf. See our full rebates page for details.
