FAQs
How does a tankless water heater work, and what are its main benefits for Jacksboro homeowners?
Unlike traditional tanks that store and continuously re-heat 40–50 gallons, a tankless (on-demand) water heater uses powerful gas burners or electric elements to heat water only when you open a hot-water tap. The result is continuous hot water, 20–40 % lower energy consumption, a unit that hangs on the wall to free up floor space, and an average life expectancy of 20+ years—about twice that of a storage-tank heater. In Jacksboro’s variable climate, the ability to modulate heat output precisely also means better efficiency and more stable temperatures year-round.
Is my home in Jacksboro suitable for a tankless water heater installation?
Almost every single-family home, condo, or manufactured house can be retrofitted, but three factors matter: (1) Fuel type—adequate natural-gas supply line (¾" minimum) or a 200-amp electrical service for whole-home electric models. (2) Venting—gas units need a short, direct vent run through an exterior wall or roof, which we inspect for code compliance. (3) Incoming water temperature—our local groundwater averages 60–65 °F; we size the unit to ensure a 70-75 °F rise for showers and kitchen use. During your free estimate, we confirm gas/electric capacity, venting route, and mounting location to guarantee code-compliant installation.
How long does the installation take, and will my water be shut off all day?
A straightforward replacement of a gas tank with a gas tankless unit usually takes 6–8 hours. Complex jobs involving electrical upgrades or relocating the heater may extend to 1–1½ days. We shut the water off for 1–2 hours while we reroute piping; you’ll have cold water available the rest of the time. Our crew lays down drop cloths, removes the old tank, installs the new unit, performs gas-pressure tests, flushes the lines, and cleans up before leaving.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my family?
Sizing is based on simultaneous fixtures and required temperature rise. We calculate total gallons per minute (GPM): a shower is ~2 GPM, a washing machine ~2.5 GPM, etc. If you want to run two showers and a dishwasher at once, you’d need roughly 6.5 GPM at a 70 °F rise. In Jacksboro, that typically translates to a 180,000–199,000 BTU gas unit or a 27–36 kW electric unit. During the estimate we measure flow rates, discuss usage habits, and match you with a model that won’t “cold-water sandwich” under peak demand.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills, and what incentives are available locally?
Most households save 20–40 % on water-heating costs—about $80–$150 per year for natural-gas customers in Jack County. Over the unit’s 20-year life, that’s $1,600–$3,000 in utility savings. Additional financial perks include: (1) Federal tax credit of 30 % of project cost (up to $600) for ENERGY STAR–certified gas units. (2) Atmos Energy occasionally offers $300–$500 rebates; we’ll handle the paperwork. (3) Lower risk of tank leaks translates into potential homeowners-insurance discounts—check with your provider.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and how long will it last?
To keep warranty coverage intact and maintain peak efficiency, flush the heat exchanger annually (or semi-annually if you have hard water) with a 4-gallon vinegar solution to remove mineral scale. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that includes descaling, gas-pressure checks, condensate drain cleaning, and software updates on Wi-Fi–enabled models. With routine service, a tankless water heater typically lasts 20–25 years—about double the lifespan of a storage tank—making it a solid long-term investment for Jacksboro residents.
