FAQs
What advantages will I see by replacing my storage-tank heater with a tankless unit?
A properly sized tankless water heater delivers endless hot water on demand, so you never run out during back-to-back showers or laundry cycles. Because it heats water only when a fixture opens, it can cut energy use 30–50 % compared with a conventional tank, lowering most Clairfield utility bills by $80–$150 per year. Tankless models mount on a wall, freeing up as much as 16 sq ft of floor space, and they typically last 18–20 years—roughly twice the life of a storage tank. Many units also qualify for federal tax credits and manufacturer rebates.
How long does a professional installation take, and what happens on installation day?
A straightforward tank-for-tank replacement usually takes 4–6 hours. Our technician will ① shut off water, gas, and power; ② drain and remove the old tank; ③ mount the new tankless unit on the wall; ④ upgrade gas or electric lines and venting as needed; ⑤ connect water, gas/electric, and condensate lines; ⑥ flush and pressurize the system; and ⑦ test for leaks and proper temperature. If significant line upgrades or wall penetrations are required, the job can extend to a full day, but you will always have water service restored before we leave.
Will my Clairfield home need upgraded gas, electrical, or vent lines?
Often, yes. Most gas tankless models need a ¾-in. gas line capable of 150–200 k Btu/h and Category III or IV stainless-steel venting to meet Tennessee code. Electric units typically require a dedicated 240-V, 40–60 A circuit with #6 AWG wiring. During your free on-site estimate, we measure gas flow, breaker capacity, and vent routes to give you a firm quote on any upgrades before work begins.
What does a complete tankless installation cost and are there incentives available?
In Clairfield, a professionally installed gas tankless water heater averages $3,400–$5,200, depending on capacity, fuel type, and required line upgrades. ENERGY STAR–rated models may qualify for a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600) through 2032. TVA and some utility districts periodically offer $100–$300 rebates, and manufacturers often provide extended-warranty promotions. We’ll handle all paperwork so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
How do I maintain my new tankless water heater and how often should it be serviced?
Our local water has moderate mineral content, so we recommend an annual maintenance visit. The technician will flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove scale, clean the inlet filter, inspect the burner or heating elements, and verify gas-pressure and temperature settings. Regular service prevents scale buildup that can cut efficiency and void warranties. Ask about our affordable maintenance plans that include priority scheduling and discount pricing.
What size tankless unit do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on the combined gallons-per-minute (GPM) demand of fixtures you might run at once and the temperature rise needed to reach 120 °F. A typical two-bathroom Clairfield home needs 7–9 GPM, while large families or homes with soaking tubs may require 11–12 GPM. During our consultation we record fixture flow rates, incoming water temperature (usually 55–60 °F here), and peak-use scenarios to recommend the right model so you never experience a cold shower.
