FAQs
What advantages do tankless water heaters offer over traditional storage tanks?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when it’s needed, eliminating standby heat loss and lowering energy bills by 20–40 %. They also provide an endless supply of hot water, free up floor space, last about twice as long as tank models (20+ years with proper maintenance), and are less prone to leaking catastrophically because there’s no large reservoir of stored water.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take in Crab Orchard?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. The exact time depends on factors such as the location of the unit, the need for venting or condensate drains, and any required gas-line or electrical upgrades. Our Flawless Installation Plumbing crew schedules a pre-job assessment so we arrive with the right parts, allowing us to finish 90 % of jobs within 6–8 hours and restore hot water the same evening.
Will my gas line or electrical system need to be upgraded?
Many homes can use the existing infrastructure, but higher-output gas units often need a larger gas supply line (¾" or 1") to maintain proper pressure. Electric tankless units may require 100–150 A of dedicated amperage and a double-pole breaker. During our on-site evaluation we measure line size, amperage capacity, and venting paths. If upgrades are needed, we’ll give you a firm quote and handle permitting and code compliance with Cumberland County inspectors.
How do I choose the right size tankless water heater for my household?
Sizing is based on two factors: your peak flow rate (gallons per minute of simultaneous fixtures) and the temperature rise needed (difference between incoming ground water—about 55 °F in Crab Orchard—and desired hot water temperature). For example, running two showers and a dishwasher at once may require 6 GPM at a 65 °F rise. We calculate these numbers during the consultation and recommend a unit with a slightly higher capacity to ensure you never run out of hot water.
What does a tankless water heater installation typically cost in Crab Orchard?
Prices vary with unit brand, fuel type, and any necessary utility upgrades, but most complete installations run $3,200–$4,800 for gas units and $2,800–$4,200 for electric models. The quote you receive from Flawless Installation Plumbing is all-inclusive—equipment, labor, permits, venting, water treatment accessories, and haul-away of your old tank. Federal tax credits and local utility rebates may lower your out-of-pocket cost by up to $600.
What maintenance is required and what warranty do you provide?
Annual maintenance involves flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove mineral buildup, checking the inline filter, and inspecting the vent and gas pressure. Hard-water areas around Crab Orchard may benefit from a scale-prevention system or more frequent flushing. We include a complimentary first-year service visit and provide a 5-year labor warranty. Most manufacturers offer 10–15 years on the heat exchanger and 5 years on parts; registration through us ensures you receive full coverage.
