FAQs
What are the main advantages of installing a tankless water heater over a traditional storage tank model?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank. This can cut energy use by 20–40 %, provide an endless supply of hot water, free up space because the unit mounts on a wall, and typically lasts 5–10 years longer than a conventional tank. Many Benton homeowners also appreciate the lower risk of leaks and water damage associated with a tankless system.
Is a tankless water heater a good choice for homes in Benton, Arkansas?
Yes. Benton’s municipal water quality and moderate climate are ideal for tankless technology. Our local water pressure is well within the operating range of modern units, and winter ground-water temperatures are mild enough that the heaters don’t need oversized burners. Seamless Performance Plumbing will confirm gas line capacity, venting routes, and electrical requirements during your in-home assessment to ensure perfect compatibility.
How long does a professional installation take and what should I expect on installation day?
A straightforward replacement of an existing tank can often be completed in 4–6 hours. The crew will: (1) shut off water, gas, and power, (2) drain and remove the old tank, (3) upgrade gas line or electrical circuit if needed, (4) mount the new tankless unit on the wall, (5) install venting and condensate drain, (6) connect water and gas lines with isolation valves, (7) flush and test the system, and (8) show you how to operate and maintain it. We protect flooring, haul away the old heater, and leave the area clean before we go.
How do I determine the correct size (flow rate) and model for my household?
Sizing is based on simultaneous hot-water demand and incoming water temperature. We calculate your peak flow—for example, a shower (2.0 gpm) plus a dishwasher (1.5 gpm) equals 3.5 gpm. In Benton, inlet water averages 55–60 °F in winter, so we select a unit that can raise that to 120 °F at the required flow. During a free consultation, Seamless Performance Plumbing will measure your fixtures, review usage patterns, and recommend gas or electric models that deliver sufficient gallons per minute without overspending on capacity you’ll never use.
What does a typical installation cost and are there rebates or tax incentives available in Benton?
Costs vary with fuel type, capacity, and site conditions, but most installations in the Benton area range from $2,800 to $4,500, including the heater, materials, labor, and haul-away. High-efficiency ENERGY STAR–rated gas units may qualify for a federal tax credit of 30 % of project cost (up to $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act. Entergy Arkansas customers can also apply for a $400 rebate on eligible gas models. We’ll handle the paperwork and provide itemized receipts so you can claim every incentive available.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and do you offer service plans?
To keep your warranty valid and maintain efficiency, flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution once a year (every 6 months if you have hard water) and clean the inlet screen filter periodically. Seamless Performance Plumbing offers an affordable annual service package that includes descaling, filter cleaning, combustion inspection, gas-pressure check, and firmware updates. Regular maintenance prevents mineral buildup, maximizes lifespan, and helps avoid surprise breakdowns.
