FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing a tankless water heater over a traditional storage tank in Jacksboro?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss that occurs in storage tanks. For most Jacksboro households this translates into energy savings of 25–40 %, longer equipment life (20+ years versus 10–12 for tanks), an endless supply of hot water, and space savings because the wall-mounted unit is about the size of a small suitcase. In addition, modern tankless models qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits, making the upgrade even more cost-effective.
How do I know what size tankless unit I need for my Jacksboro home?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) the total flow rate (gallons per minute) you expect to run at one time—showers, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.—and (2) the required temperature rise, which is the difference between the incoming cold-water temperature and your desired hot-water temperature. In Jacksboro, incoming water averages 60–65 °F, so a typical 55 °F rise will deliver 115–120 °F water. We will calculate your peak demand, usually 6–9 GPM for a three-bath home, and recommend a properly sized gas or electric model to ensure you never run out of hot water.
Are there local rebates or incentives in Jacksboro or Texas for installing an energy-efficient tankless water heater?
Yes. Many Jacksboro customers qualify for up to a $750 instant rebate through the Atmos Energy High-Efficiency Water Heater Program, and Texas residents may claim a 30 % federal tax credit (capped at $600) on ENERGY STAR-certified units installed after January 1, 2023. Additional incentives may be available from the Jack County Water Conservation Program. Our team stays up-to-date on all offers and completes the paperwork for you so you receive every possible savings.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard retrofit normally takes 4–6 hours. We start by shutting off utilities, draining and removing the old tank, and upgrading the gas line or electrical circuit if a larger input is required. Next, we mount the compact tankless unit on the wall, run high-efficiency venting (for gas models), install isolation valves for easy servicing, and connect water, gas/electric, and condensate lines. Finally, we program the controller, test for leaks, and haul away the old heater for recycling. You’ll have hot water the same day, and our work is backed by permits and a workmanship warranty.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills with a tankless system?
Because tankless heaters eliminate standby heat loss, ENERGY STAR estimates savings of about $100 per year for a typical family of four. In Jacksboro, where propane and electricity rates have risen steadily, many customers report 20–40 % lower water-heating costs—often $150–$250 annually—compared with a 50-gallon storage tank. Over the 20-year life of the unit, that can add up to $3,000–$5,000 in utility savings, more than offsetting the higher upfront cost.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require and can you handle it for me?
To keep your warranty intact and maintain peak efficiency, manufacturers recommend an annual service that includes flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale, cleaning the inlet filter, verifying gas pressure, and updating diagnostic codes. Jacksboro’s moderately hard water (about 8–10 grains per gallon) makes this maintenance especially important. We offer affordable yearly tune-up plans that handle everything for you, prolong your unit’s life, and ensure you keep enjoying unlimited, energy-efficient hot water.
