Tankless Concepts

Tankless Concepts™ is a trade name of Fireside Specialties, Inc. Fireside Specialties, Inc. was established in 1986 by owner/operator Ed Clark. The initial focus of the business was the installation of woodburning stoves and fireplaces. Fireside Specialties began installing gas lines and venting as a subcontractor to Woodburners Two in 1995. As a Washington Gas Associate, Fireside Specialties performed meter splits for Washington Gas customers from 2001 to 2005. Today, Fireside Specialties installs gas lines for generators, furnaces, ranges, grills, and fireplaces.

By heating water only when it's needed, ENERGY STAR certified gas tankless water heaters cut water heating expenses, while also providing continuous hot water delivery. Gas tankless models are a great choice for new construction and major remodeling, as well as for replacement of aging traditional gas storage water heaters. Big Savings. By heating water only when you need it, ENERGY STAR certified tankless water heaters save the typical family more than $80 per year, or $1,700 over the lifetime of the water heater, on gas bills compared to a standard storage model.
