FAQs
Why should I consider a tankless water heater for my Altamont home?
Tankless water heaters deliver hot water on demand, eliminating the standby heat loss of traditional storage tanks. In Altamont’s variable climate, this means lower energy bills year-round, unlimited hot water for large families, and a smaller footprint that frees up space in utility rooms or garages.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations in Altamont are completed in one working day. This includes disconnecting and hauling away the old unit, upgrading gas or electrical lines if required, mounting the new heater, connecting water and venting lines, and running a full performance and safety test before we leave.
Do you handle local permits and code compliance?
Yes. Altamont follows county plumbing and mechanical codes that require permits for water-heater swaps. Our licensed plumbers secure the permit, schedule any needed inspections, and install the system to meet or exceed all local safety, venting, and seismic-strap requirements, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork.
What size or capacity tankless unit will I need?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) your household’s peak hot-water demand measured in gallons per minute (GPM) and (2) the incoming groundwater temperature in Altamont, which averages 55-60 °F. We perform an on-site assessment—counting fixtures, evaluating simultaneous use, and measuring temperature rise—to recommend a correctly sized model that won’t drop pressure or temperature when multiple taps are open.
Is there anything I should do before installation day?
Just clear a 3-4 ft workspace around the water-heater location, ensure pets are secured, and provide access to the electrical panel and gas shut-off. We bring floor coverings and protective gear, so no additional prep is required. If you’re switching from electric to gas (or vice versa), we’ll schedule a brief pre-visit to verify utility connections and plan upgrades.
Are rebates or warranties available for tankless water heaters in Altamont?
Absolutely. Many ENERGY STAR® certified units qualify for state and utility rebates—often $200-$500—plus potential federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. We file the paperwork for you. Manufacturers typically back the heat exchanger with a 10-15-year warranty and parts for 5 years; our company adds a 1-year labor warranty on top, so you’re fully covered.
