FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater in Duff?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you only pay for the hot water you actually use. Compared with a traditional storage tank heater, most customers see energy-bill reductions of 20–40 %. You also free up floor space, eliminate the risk of a tank rupture, enjoy endless hot water for long showers, and gain equipment that typically lasts 18–20 years—nearly twice the life span of a tank model.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation take?
In most single-family homes in Duff, a straightforward replacement of a storage tank with a gas or electric tankless unit takes 4–8 hours. This includes mounting the unit, rerouting water lines, adding isolation valves, performing gas-line upsizing (if required), installing the venting or electrical circuit, and completing the mandatory start-up calibration. More complex jobs—such as relocating the heater, upgrading the main service panel, or adding multiple units for larger households—can extend the timeline to 1–2 days.
Will my existing plumbing and gas/electrical service support a tankless water heater?
Most Duff homes are compatible, but a professional site visit is essential. Gas models generally need a ¾-inch gas line and Category III or IV stainless-steel venting, while electric units often require one or more 240-V circuits of 40–60 amps each. During our in-home assessment we check water-supply pressure, line size, gas meter capacity, breaker space, and venting routes. If upgrades are needed, we provide a written quote before work begins.
How much does a tankless water heater cost to install in Duff?
Total investment depends on fuel type, capacity (GPM), and site conditions. As a guideline, installed prices for a standard high-efficiency gas unit range from $3,200–$4,800, while electric units start around $2,400. Costs can rise if you need substantial gas-line, venting, or electrical upgrades, but Duff residents may qualify for provincial efficiency rebates of up to $1,000, which we handle on your behalf.
What maintenance does a tankless system require?
Unlike tanks that rust from the inside, tankless units stay cleaner but still need annual service. We recommend a yearly 45-minute descaling flush with food-grade vinegar to remove mineral buildup common in Duff’s moderately hard water, a filter inspection, and a combustion check on gas models. Regular maintenance preserves the heat exchanger, keeps your warranty valid, and maintains peak efficiency.
Can a tankless heater provide enough hot water for my entire family?
Yes—if it’s properly sized. We calculate your home’s peak flow rate by adding the gallons-per-minute (GPM) demands of simultaneous fixtures (for example, two showers and a dishwasher). A typical three-bath Duff home needs a 9–11 GPM gas unit or dual electric units in parallel. Because the water is heated continuously, everyone can shower back-to-back without running out of hot water, as long as the unit’s capacity matches your peak demand.
