Yes. The main consideration for tankless water heaters is size of the gas line connecting to the heater. Since tankless water heaters heat water instantly, they require a more powerful heating system to heat the water quicker. This more powerful heating system requires having a larger gas line than most tank-type water heaters require, meaning most tankless water heater installs require expanding the gas line running to the heater.
