Indirect BoilerMates, Tankless & Gas Water Heaters
Incoming municipal and well water in Southcentral Alaska enters your home at an icy 36°F–42°F in winter—meaning your water heater works nearly twice as hard as one in the Lower 48. We size, repair, and install indirect boiler-fed tanks, high-output tankless units, and commercial-grade atmospheric storage tanks built for Alaska's cold inlet temperatures.

Indirect BoilerMates, Tankless & Gas Water Heaters — FAQs
Direct answers to common questions about our property maintenance, repairs, and 24/7 emergency services.
Yes, provided they are sized for a 75°F–80°F temperature rise (38°F inlet to 120°F outlet). A 199,000 BTU condensing unit like the Navien NPE-240A2 delivers 4.5–5.5 GPM in an Alaska winter, enough for two simultaneous showers.
Replacing an Amtrol BoilerMate or Weil-McLain indirect hot water tank typically costs between $3,200 and $4,800 installed, including new zone piping, aquastat wiring, and system air purging.
