FAQs
What are the advantages of a tankless water heater over a traditional water heater?

How long does it take to install a tankless water heater?
The installation process typically takes between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and whether any upgrades to your plumbing or electrical systems are needed.
Can a tankless water heater be installed in any home?
While tankless water heaters can be installed in most homes, certain factors such as the existing plumbing and electrical systems, the size of the home, and the hot water requirements need to be considered. A professional assessment is recommended to determine suitability.
What maintenance is required for a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters require periodic maintenance to ensure efficiency and longevity. This includes descaling to remove mineral buildup, cleaning the air filter, and checking the burner and venting systems. It's advisable to have a professional perform annual maintenance.
Are tankless water heaters expensive to install?
The initial cost of installing a tankless water heater is generally higher than a traditional tank water heater. However, this cost can be offset by the energy savings over time and the longer lifespan of the unit. Installation costs can vary based on the complexity and any necessary upgrades to plumbing or electrical systems.
Do I need a permit to install a tankless water heater in Alcoa?
