FAQs
What are the benefits of installing a tankless water heater?
Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water, improved energy efficiency, and a longer lifespan compared to traditional tank heaters. They also take up less space and can reduce your energy bills by only heating water on demand rather than maintaining a large tank of hot water.
How does a tankless water heater work?
A tankless water heater heats water directly without the use of a storage tank. When a hot water tap is turned on, cold water travels through a pipe into the unit. Either a gas burner or an electric element heats the water, delivering a constant supply of hot water. This means you won’t have to wait for a storage tank to fill up with enough hot water.
Is my home in Maryville suitable for a tankless water heater?
Most homes can accommodate a tankless water heater, but the suitability depends on factors such as your household’s hot water demand, existing plumbing, and electrical or gas infrastructure. Our professional technicians will assess your home and provide recommendations tailored to your needs and circumstances.
How long does it take to install a tankless water heater?
The installation process typically takes between 4 to 8 hours, depending on the complexity of the installation and the condition of your existing plumbing. Some installations may require additional time if upgrades to your home’s electrical or gas systems are needed.
Do tankless water heaters require regular maintenance?
Yes, tankless water heaters require periodic maintenance to ensure efficient operation and longevity. It's recommended to flush the system once a year to remove mineral buildup, and to check the air filter and other components regularly. Our team offers maintenance services to keep your unit running smoothly.
Are tankless water heaters more expensive to install compared to traditional tank water heaters?
The upfront cost of tankless water heaters and their installation can be higher compared to traditional tank water heaters. However, the long-term savings on energy bills and the longer lifespan of tankless units often make them a more cost-effective choice in the long run. Additionally, various rebates and incentives may be available to help offset the initial investment.
