FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in my Winfield home?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank. In Winfield that translates to energy-efficiency ratings of 90–98 %, utility-bill savings of 25–40 %, unlimited hot water, a wall-mounted space-saving design, and product lifespans that typically double that of conventional tank heaters (20+ years with proper maintenance).
How does a tankless water heater supply endless hot water—will I ever run out?
When a hot-water tap is opened, flow sensors inside the unit activate a high-efficiency gas burner or electric element. Water passes through a heat exchanger that warms it to the set temperature within seconds, then delivers it continuously as long as demand persists. While flow is technically unlimited, capacity is limited by the unit’s gallons-per-minute (GPM) rating; if demand exceeds that rating—for example, multiple showers plus laundry simultaneously—temperature may dip. During the sizing visit we calculate your peak GPM to ensure the model we install meets your household’s usage patterns.
How do you size the right tankless model for my household?
Proper sizing revolves around two factors: (1) the maximum simultaneous hot-water flow rate you expect and (2) the required temperature rise (difference between incoming water temperature—around 50 °F in Winfield’s colder months—and your preferred outlet temperature, usually 120 °F). We total the GPM for fixtures you might use at once, then match that flow and temperature-rise requirement to manufacturer performance charts. If your needs are high, we can install multiple units or a cascading system to ensure uninterrupted comfort.
What cost and energy savings should I expect compared with a storage-tank heater?
Installation costs are higher upfront but monthly bills are typically 25–40 % lower because the burner fires only on demand. For a typical Winfield household using 50 gallons of hot water daily, Energy Star data show annual savings of $80–$100 on natural-gas units and up to $150 on high-efficiency condensing models. Over the 20-year life of the heater, that adds up to $1,600–$3,000 in utility savings, often paying back the price difference in 3–5 years, especially when local rebates are applied.
What is involved in the installation process, and do you handle local permits and code compliance?
Our licensed, bonded plumbers begin with a free in-home assessment, then obtain all Winfield building permits and schedule any required city inspections. On installation day we (1) shut off utilities, (2) disconnect and safely remove your old tank, (3) mount the new tankless unit, (4) upgrade gas line sizing or electrical circuits if needed, (5) install Category III/IV venting or concentric PVC for condensing units, (6) connect water lines with isolation valves for future maintenance, and (7) commission the system, checking gas-pressure, combustion, and inlet/outlet temperatures. Most jobs are completed in one day with hot water restored by evening.
How much maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
Tankless units are low-maintenance compared with tanks, but annual service protects efficiency and warranty coverage. In Winfield’s moderately hard water (10–12 grains per gallon) we recommend yearly descaling/flushes using the built-in isolation valves to dissolve mineral buildup on the heat exchanger. We also clean the inlet filter, inspect venting, and verify combustion values. The service takes about one hour. With this routine care you can expect trouble-free performance for two decades or more.
