FAQs
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take in Birchwood?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. Our team arrives with all required materials, removes your old tank unit (if present), installs the new tankless system, upgrades venting and gas/electrical connections as needed, tests for leaks, and cleans the workspace. Large homes or complex retrofits may extend the job to two days, but we will give you a precise timeline before work begins.
Do I need a permit for a tankless water heater installation?
Yes. Birchwood and Hamilton County require plumbing and, in many cases, mechanical permits for water heater replacements. Our seamless installation process includes filing all necessary permit applications, scheduling inspections, and ensuring the installation meets local building codes, so you don’t have to handle any paperwork yourself.
Will a tankless water heater really save me money on utility bills?
Tankless units heat water on demand, eliminating standby heat loss that occurs in storage tanks. Homeowners in Birchwood typically see 20–40% reductions in energy costs compared to traditional electric or gas storage heaters. Actual savings depend on usage patterns, fuel rates, and the efficiency rating (UEF) of the model you choose. We provide a cost-savings estimate during your consultation so you understand the payback period.
Can my existing gas or electrical service handle a tankless system?
It depends on the fuel type and size of the unit. Gas models may require a larger gas line (¾" vs. ½") and Category III or IV venting. Electric models often need 120–200 amps of total service with multiple dedicated 40–60-amp breakers. During our free in-home assessment, we measure line pressure, check panel capacity, and outline any upgrades required so there are no surprises on installation day.
What maintenance will my new tankless water heater require?
Annual maintenance maximizes efficiency and extends the unit’s life. We recommend a yearly flush with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale, cleaning the inlet filter, and inspecting the venting and combustion chamber. Our Birchwood customers can enroll in our Maintenance Membership, which includes the annual flush, safety inspection, priority scheduling, and discounted repairs.
What warranties and support do you provide after installation?
All tankless water heaters we install carry manufacturer warranties ranging from 10–15 years on the heat exchanger and 5 years on parts. Our company adds a 2-year labor warranty covering workmanship. Should you experience any issues, our 24/7 local support team in Birchwood will troubleshoot over the phone or dispatch a certified technician at no extra charge during the labor-warranty period.
