FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater over a traditional tank model for my Madisonville home?
Tankless units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby energy losses common with storage tanks. This can cut water-heating energy use by 25–40 %. They are wall-mounted, freeing up floor space, and can last 18–20 years—almost twice as long as a tank system. Our Madisonville technicians can size the unit precisely to your household’s hot-water demand and local groundwater temperatures, ensuring you get endless hot water without wasted energy.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation usually take?
Most straightforward replacements are completed in one day (4–8 hours). We arrive with the new unit, remove your old tank, upgrade venting or gas lines if needed, mount the tankless heater, connect water, gas/electric, and venting, then test and flush the system. Complex jobs—such as relocating the heater, upgrading electrical service, or rerouting gas lines—can take a second day. We provide a detailed timeline after the on-site assessment.
What does a typical tankless installation cost in Madisonville?
Installed prices generally range from $3,000–$5,500, including the heater, labor, permits, new venting, and any required gas line upsizing. Electric units cost a bit less but may require a panel upgrade. High-efficiency condensing gas models and larger GPM ratings cost more. We give upfront, itemized quotes and can discuss local utility rebates or federal tax credits that may offset a portion of the cost.
Will my existing gas or electrical service handle a tankless water heater?
Gas tankless models need a larger gas line (¾" or 1") and a 120 V outlet for ignition and controls. Electric models demand 120–160 amps of dedicated 240 V power—often more than older panels can provide. During our free assessment, we measure gas pressure, line size, and panel capacity to determine if upgrades are necessary. We handle any required permits and coordinate with utility providers when service enhancements are needed.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Annual maintenance keeps efficiency high and protects the heat exchanger. We flush the unit with a vinegar solution to remove scale, inspect the burner or heating elements, clean the inlet screen, and check venting for blockages. Madisonville’s moderately hard water makes descaling especially important; neglecting it can void warranties. We offer low-cost maintenance plans that include yearly service reminders and priority scheduling.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
Most of our preferred brands carry 12- to 15-year heat exchanger warranties, 5-year parts, and 1-year labor. We register your unit with the manufacturer, validate local code compliance, and provide a signed installation certificate. Our team is on call 24/7 for troubleshooting, and we stock common replacement parts locally so you’re never left without hot water. Extended labor warranties and annual service packages are also available for added peace of mind.
