FAQs
What makes a “seamless transition” to a tankless water heater different from a standard replacement?
A seamless transition means our Dayton plumbing team handles every phase—sizing, permitting, removal of the old tank, new gas or electrical runs, venting, water line modifications, and final code inspection—so you experience zero down-time for hot water and no need to coordinate multiple contractors. We pre-stage materials, secure permits with the City of Dayton, and complete most jobs in one day, ensuring you always have operational hot water at the end of the install.
How do I know if my Dayton home is compatible with a tankless unit?
Compatibility depends on your incoming gas or electrical capacity, venting path, and water quality. During our free in-home assessment we measure gas line size and pressure, check electrical panel load, inspect existing flue routes, and test hardness of Dayton’s municipal water. If upgrades are needed—such as a larger gas line or a scale-reduction filter—we include those in one transparent quote so there are no surprises later.
What energy and cost savings can I expect compared with my current storage-tank heater?
A properly sized tankless heater operates only when you turn on a tap, cutting standby losses completely. In typical Dayton homes this translates to 25-40 % lower natural-gas usage and annual utility savings of $80–$150. Because tankless units often last 20+ years (vs. 8–12 for tanks), life-cycle savings are even higher. Many customers also qualify for DP&L or Vectren rebates plus a federal 30 % tax credit (up to $600) on ENERGY STAR® certified models.
How long does installation take and will I be without hot water?
Most residential installs are finished in 6–8 hours. We keep your existing tank in service until the new unit is mounted and fully connected, limiting hot-water downtime to roughly 30–45 minutes while we switch over. If extensive gas or vent upgrades are required, the total project may extend to a second day, but we always make sure you have temporary hot water before leaving the first day.
What ongoing maintenance does a tankless water heater require in the Dayton area?
Tankless units need an annual flush to remove mineral scale, especially with Dayton’s moderately hard water (6–7 grains per gallon). We offer a low-cost maintenance plan that includes a vinegar or citric-acid flush, filter replacement, combustion check, and firmware update. Routine maintenance keeps efficiency high, prevents error codes, and protects your manufacturer’s 5- to 15-year heat-exchanger warranty.
Are there any local codes or permits I should know about?
Yes. Dayton’s Residential Code (adapted from the Ohio Residential Code) requires a plumbing permit for water-heater replacement, proper Category III vent materials, and a gas line pressure test if modifications exceed 10 ft. Our licensed technicians pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and provide all documentation. When we say “seamless,” we mean we handle the paperwork so you don’t have to worry about compliance or penalties.
