FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater instead of a traditional storage‐tank model?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you get an endless supply of hot water without paying to keep 40–50 gallons hot all day. They are up to 35% more energy-efficient, last about twice as long (20+ years with proper care), free up floor space, and reduce the risk of tank leaks and flooding. For families in Decherd who run multiple showers, laundry, and dishwashers, the “endless” feature is especially valuable.
What does a typical tankless installation in Decherd involve?
1) Site visit: We measure your home’s peak hot-water demand and inspect gas, electrical, and venting lines. 2) Sizing & quote: You receive a written estimate that includes equipment, any line upgrades, permit fees, and labor. 3) Permitting: We pull the required permits with the City of Decherd / Franklin County Building & Codes Department. 4) Installation day: Old tank removal, new gas/electric line runs if needed, wall mounting, venting through an exterior wall or roof, and system test. Most jobs finish the same day. 5) Final inspection: A city inspector approves the work, and we walk you through operation and maintenance.
How do I know what size (GPM) tankless unit my home needs?
Sizing is based on simultaneous hot-water uses and incoming ground-water temperature. In Decherd, winter groundwater is about 55 °F, so raising it to 120 °F requires ∆T of 65 °F. We add the flow rates of the fixtures you might run at once—for example, two showers (2.0 GPM each) plus a dishwasher (1.5 GPM) equals 5.5 GPM. A unit rated for 6 GPM at 65 °F rise would cover that demand. During the estimate we perform these calculations for you and recommend the correct model.
What does it cost to install a tankless water heater in the Decherd area?
Installed pricing typically ranges from $3,200 to $4,800 for a whole-home gas unit and $2,800 to $4,200 for an electric model. Costs vary by output capacity, venting length, gas line upsizing, electrical upgrades, and optional water softeners. Although tankless systems cost more up front, Energy Star studies show annual savings of $80–$120 on utility bills, so many homeowners recover the difference within 5–7 years.
Are there rebates or incentives available, and do you handle the paperwork?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and many natural-gas utilities offer $100–$300 rebates on qualifying high-efficiency units. Federal tax credits of 30% up to $600 are also available when the unit meets ≥0.95 UEF efficiency. We provide all manufacturer efficiency documentation, fill out rebate forms, and submit permit close-outs so you get every dollar you’re entitled to without the hassle.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Plan on an annual flush and descaling to remove mineral buildup, especially with Decherd’s moderately hard water. The process takes about 45 minutes and protects the heat exchanger from corrosion. We also inspect the vent, clean the inlet screen, and check gas pressure or electrical connections. Enrolling in our maintenance plan keeps your warranty valid and ensures peak efficiency for decades.
