FAQs
What is a tankless water heater and how does it work?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when you open a hot-water tap. Cold water flows through a high-efficiency heat exchanger that is fired by gas or powered by electricity, instantly bringing the water up to the set temperature. Because there is no storage tank, standby heat loss is virtually eliminated, giving you hot water whenever you need it without paying to keep 40–80 gallons warm all day.
Why should I choose a tankless water heater for my New Market home?
• Endless hot water – great for large families or homes with high-flow fixtures. • Lower utility bills – ENERGY STAR® tankless units are typically 24–34 % more efficient than standard storage tanks, and even more if you use less than 41 gal/day. • Space savings – the wall-mounted design frees up floor space in tight New Market basements and utility rooms. • Longer life – most units last 20+ years, about twice the life of a conventional tank. • Reduced leak risk – without a large storage tank, the chance of catastrophic flooding is dramatically lower.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
For a straightforward replacement of a gas or electric tank with a new tankless unit, most projects in the New Market area are completed in 4–8 hours. If upgrades are required—such as upsizing gas lines, installing a dedicated vent, or running a new 240-V circuit—the job can extend to a full day. We perform an on-site evaluation beforehand so you know exactly how much time to set aside.
Do I need permits or inspections for a tankless water heater installation in New Market?
Yes. Shenandoah County (or Frederick County for some New Market addresses) requires mechanical and, in many cases, plumbing permits for water heater replacements. Gas models also trigger a fuel-gas permit and inspection, while electric models may need an electrical inspection if new wiring is installed. Our team pulls all required permits, coordinates inspection appointments, and leaves you with the signed-off paperwork for your records.
How much does it cost to install a tankless water heater and what affects the price?
Installed prices in New Market generally range from $2,900 to $4,800 for a whole-house gas unit and $2,400 to $3,800 for a high-output electric unit. Key cost factors include: • Capacity (flow rate in gallons per minute) and efficiency rating (UEF) • Whether gas line upsizing or a new 240-V circuit is needed • Venting route and materials (stainless vs. PVC) • Water-quality upgrades like flushing valves or a scale-inhibiting filter • Access to rebates from Columbia Gas of Virginia, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, or federal tax credits, which can reduce final costs by $300–$600.
What maintenance is required after installation to keep my tankless unit running efficiently?
1. Annual descaling flush – New Market’s moderately hard water (around 7–10 grains) can create mineral buildup. We connect a pump and circulate a vinegar or citric-acid solution through the heat exchanger for 45 minutes. 2. Cleaning the intake filter – a 5-minute task every 6 months. 3. Checking the condensate line (condensing gas models) to ensure proper drainage. 4. Verifying gas pressure and combustion readings every 2–3 years. We offer low-cost maintenance plans so you never have to remember the schedule, and proper upkeep preserves your manufacturer warranty and peak efficiency.
