FAQs
Why should I hire a certified plumbing team for my tankless water heater installation in Crab Orchard?
Tankless water heaters require precise gas-line sizing, venting, and electrical connections. A certified plumber is trained to local building codes, carries liability insurance, and can pull the required Crab Orchard permits. Choosing a certified team protects your manufacturer warranty, ensures the unit is installed safely, and reduces the risk of carbon-monoxide leaks or water damage.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater I need for my Crab Orchard home?
We calculate size based on your peak hot-water demand. During the on-site estimate we add up the gallons per minute (GPM) required for the fixtures you might use at the same time—showers, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.—and factor in Crab Orchard’s average incoming water temperature (around 50–55 °F). We then recommend a model that can deliver that flow rate while raising the temperature to 120 °F without losing pressure.
What is the typical installation timeline and will I be without hot water?
Most residential installs take one day. We arrive in the morning, shut off water and power/gas for a few hours while we remove your old tank, hang the new unit, run venting and gas/electrical lines, and flush the system. By late afternoon you have hot water again. Complex retrofits or outdoor mounts may extend the project to two days, but we always let you know in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Are tankless water heaters energy-efficient in Crab Orchard’s climate and what savings can I expect?
Yes. Because they heat water only when you open a tap, tankless units eliminate standby heat loss that storage tanks suffer in our cooler Appalachian winters. ENERGY STAR® studies show households save 24–34 % on gas usage versus a standard 50-gallon tank. Electric tankless units can reduce kilowatt-hour consumption by 15–25 %. Exact savings depend on usage patterns, fuel rates, and the efficiency (UEF rating) of the model chosen.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater require and do you offer service plans?
Manufacturers recommend flushing the heat exchanger annually to remove mineral scale, especially with Crab Orchard’s moderately hard water. The inline filter should be cleaned every 6–12 months, and the combustion chamber inspected for gas units. Our team offers an affordable yearly service plan that includes descaling, filter cleaning, a safety inspection, and firmware updates. Regular maintenance preserves efficiency and keeps your warranty valid.
Do you handle permits, inspections, and rebates for my installation?
Absolutely. We pull all Crab Orchard and Raleigh County permits, coordinate the final inspection, and provide the compliance paperwork for your records. If you qualify for utility or federal tax rebates—such as the ENERGY STAR® or Inflation Reduction Act incentives—we supply the model certification and help with the application forms so you can claim your credits without hassle.
