Tankless Water Heater Services in Toms River
Professional Water Heater Solutions
Since 1994, Care Temp, LLC has installed, repaired, and replaced standard and tankless water heaters for homeowners. Whether you need a routine inspection and tune-up or a new system installation, our team does it all. We work with all makes and models of water heating equipment and provide exceptional service so you can enjoy a reliable source of hot water.
How Tankless Systems Work
A tankless water heater heats water on demand rather than storing a fixed supply in a tank. When you open a faucet, the unit activates. When demand stops, it shuts off. That cycle eliminates the standby energy loss that comes with keeping a large tank hot around the clock. With proper maintenance, they typically last up to 20 years.
Tankless units are also wall-mounted and compact, freeing up the floor space a bulky storage tank would otherwise occupy. Because they use condensing technology, the exhaust cools enough to be routed through PVC sidewall piping rather than a traditional metal flue. That means a tankless system can be installed in homes where a standard chimney isn’t available or practical, which covers a significant portion of Toms River’s housing stock.
Tankless Combination Units
A standard tankless water heater handles domestic hot water only. A combination unit does both: it produces heat for your home and hot water for your fixtures from a single wall-mounted system. The unit activates when your thermostat calls for heat or when a faucet is opened, and shuts off when demand stops. For homes where a separate boiler and water heater wouldn’t fit, or where simplifying mechanical systems is a priority, a combination unit is worth evaluating. We carry combination units in multiple styles and efficiency levels, including the Navien line, and we’ll match the right configuration to your home’s layout and load.
Sizing a Tankless System
Getting the size right matters. The primary factors are the number of occupants in your home, the utilities available (natural gas or electric), and the space available for installation. Peak hot water demand, measured in gallons per minute, determines the correct unit capacity. We assess all of these before recommending any system.
Tankless Water Heater Services We Provide
We handle the full lifecycle of tankless water heaters and combination systems: new installations, replacements of aging units, and repairs across all makes and models.
Every installation we complete includes pulling all required permits. Tankless installations in New Jersey municipalities require permits, and skipping them can void your manufacturer's warranty and complicate a future home sale. If another contractor has suggested bypassing that step, call us. We’ll tell you plainly what’s required and why it matters.
Gas-line sizing and venting are included in our installation assessment at no extra charge because these factors directly affect system performance and safe operation.

Answering Your Most Important Questions
Browse the questions below or contact us directly for assistance.
-
What is a tankless combination unit, and how is it different from a standard tankless water heater?
A standard tankless water heater supplies domestic hot water only. A tankless combination unit integrates a heating function, providing both space heating and hot water from a single wall-mounted system. It activates only when heat is called for or a faucet is opened, then shuts off when demand stops. Combination units are particularly practical in homes where space is limited and a separate boiler or furnace wouldn’t fit.
-
Do I need a permit to install a tankless water heater in Toms River, NJ?
Yes. Tankless water heater installations require permits in most New Jersey municipalities, including Toms River. Working without one can void your manufacturer warranty and create complications when you sell the home. Care Temp, LLC pulls all required permits on every installation. If another contractor suggests skipping that step, call us.
-
How do I know what size tankless system my home needs?
Sizing depends on the number of occupants in your home, the utilities available (natural gas or electric), and the space available for installation. Flow rate, measured in gallons per minute, and peak hot water demand determine the right unit capacity. We assess those factors before recommending any system, and free estimates are available on new installations and replacements.
-
Can you repair my Navien system, or do I need to replace it?
We provide Navien repair, replacement, and installation. Many error codes and performance issues can be resolved through repair rather than a full replacement. If another company has told you the unit must go, Care Temp, LLC offers a free second opinion. Navien systems also benefit from annual maintenance, including descaling to address mineral buildup common in New Jersey water.
-
Are there rebates or incentives available for installing a high-efficiency tankless system in New Jersey?
New Jersey Natural Gas (NJNG) runs the SAVEGREEN program, which provides rebates and 0% financing options for qualifying high-efficiency water heating and HVAC equipment upgrades for residential NJNG customers in Ocean County. High-efficiency condensing tankless water heaters may also qualify for federal tax credits; consult a tax professional for eligibility details. Care Temp, LLC is an NJNG preferred contractor and can help you understand which programs apply to your upgrade.

I want to THANK CARE TEMP for helping me during this 115 degree heat wave. I had no AC and my house was 98 degrees. Some community members recommended DK SLEDZAK, BERGE HVAC and CARE TEMP. Care Temp was the ONLY company that answered the phone during the holiday heat wave and sent a tech out that day to fix my AC. Care Temp gained a new customer and it has been 1 week and still no return phone call back from the other companies. THANK YOU CARE TEMP for your help and for caring for us old people!!!! I will dKim Blum

I live in Whiting and I called Care Temp because my AC was not working. I spoke with the office and immediately was given an appointment. Since my ac is old, I didn't want to take any more chances of it not working during the summer time so I asked the tech for a price to replace it. I did call 2 more local companies for a quote but Sledzik never showed up and when I called the office, the lady was rude and told me that I did not have an appointment and when I gave the name of who I spoke to, she told me thMarilyn Sartucci
