FAQs
What is a tankless water heater and how does it differ from traditional water heaters?
A tankless water heater, often called an on-demand water heater, heats water only when you need it rather than storing hot water in a tank. This means improved energy efficiency since you aren’t constantly keeping a large volume of water warm. In Kelso, where energy efficiency can reduce your overall utility costs, many homeowners choose tankless models for their continuous supply of hot water and long-term savings.
How long does the installation process typically take?
The installation process generally takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the specific requirements of your home system and any additional modifications that might be necessary. Our experienced technicians aim to complete the process efficiently while ensuring all safety standards are met. Keep in mind that preparation work such as obtaining permits or making adjustments to existing plumbing might extend the overall timeline.
What prerequisites should be met for a successful tankless water heater installation?
Before installation, it’s important to verify that your home’s existing gas supply (if using a gas model) and ventilation systems are compatible with the new unit. Additionally, proper water quality should be ensured to avoid mineral buildup, and a nearby electrical outlet might be needed for some models. Our technicians conduct a thorough pre-installation inspection to ensure that all requirements are met for a smooth and efficient procedure.
Are permits required for installing a tankless water heater in Kelso?
Yes, permits are often required for installing any new water heater system to ensure the installation complies with local building codes and safety regulations. In Kelso, we work closely with local authorities to secure the necessary permits before installation. Our team will handle all the paperwork and inspections, so you won’t have to worry about the legal details.
Can I install a tankless water heater myself, or do I need professional assistance?
We highly recommend hiring a licensed professional for installing a tankless water heater. Professional installation ensures that all connections, gas lines, and ventilation systems are properly set up, reducing potential risks and hazards. Additionally, professional installation ensures compliance with local codes and manufacturer guidelines, which is especially important in a regulated market like Kelso.
What regular maintenance is needed once my tankless water heater is installed?
Routine maintenance is key to maximizing the lifespan and efficiency of your tankless water heater. It is recommended to have annual maintenance checks that include descaling if you live in an area with hard water, inspecting the gas and water connections, and ensuring the venting systems are clean and unobstructed. Our service packages in Kelso are designed to keep your unit operating at peak performance, helping you avoid any unexpected issues.
