FAQs
What steps are involved in the tankless water heater installation process?
Our installation process begins with a detailed site assessment to ensure your plumbing infrastructure and gas or electrical supply meet the specifications required for a tankless water heater. Next, our technician will remove your old water heater (if applicable), prepare and modify the gas or electrical connections, and install the new unit. After installation, we perform a thorough system test and provide you with operational guidelines to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
How long does the installation usually take?
The installation duration can vary depending on your home's existing system setup and any necessary modifications. Typically, a standard tankless water heater installation takes between 4 to 6 hours from start to finish. However, additional work such as upgrading gas lines or venting can extend this time. Our team will give you an accurate estimate after the initial assessment.
Do I need any special permits for a tankless water heater installation?
Most installations require local permits to comply with state and municipal building codes. Our professional team ensures that all necessary permits are acquired before beginning the installation. We work closely with local authorities in Kodak to guarantee that all work meets current safety and quality standards.
Will my existing plumbing system need modifications?
In many cases, minor modifications to your existing plumbing system will be necessary to optimize the efficiency of a tankless water heater. This may include adjustments to water flow, gas connections, or the venting system. During our initial assessment, our technician will review your current setup and advise on any required changes to ensure optimal operation of your new unit.
What is the cost associated with installing a tankless water heater?
Costs vary depending on factors such as the model chosen, any necessary upgrades to your existing system, and local permit fees. While the unit itself may be more expensive than a traditional water heater, the long-term energy savings and durability can result in lower overall operating costs. We offer detailed, transparent quotes after evaluating your specific installation requirements.
What kind of maintenance is required after installation?
Tankless water heaters require regular maintenance to ensure peak performance and longevity. This includes periodic descaling to prevent mineral build-up, routine inspection of gas or electrical connections, and checking the venting system for blockages. We recommend scheduling a professional service check at least once a year. Our installation package often includes an initial maintenance guide and options for follow-up service plans.
