FAQs
How long does a tankless water heater installation typically take in Dunlap?
Most residential installations are completed in one business day. A straightforward replacement of an existing tankless unit can take 4–6 hours, while converting from a traditional tank-style heater may take 6–8 hours because we must reroute venting, upgrade gas-line sizing, and relocate electrical connections as required by Sequatchie County code.
Will a tankless water heater really save me money on my utility bills?
Yes. Tankless units heat water only when you open a hot-water tap, eliminating standby heat loss. Homeowners in Dunlap usually see a 20–40 % reduction in water-heating energy costs, depending on usage patterns and the efficiency of the model selected.
Do I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service for a tankless system?
Possibly. High-output gas units often require a ¾-inch gas line instead of the ½-inch line found on many older homes. Electric units may need a 150- to 200-amp service panel and dedicated 40-60 amp breakers. During our free on-site assessment, we measure flow rate needs and inspect your existing utilities so we can provide an accurate upgrade estimate before work begins.
How hard is it to flush or maintain a tankless water heater with Dunlap’s water quality?
Dunlap’s municipal water has moderate hardness (about 5–6 grains per gallon). We recommend an annual 45-minute vinegar or descaling solution flush to keep the heat exchanger free of mineral buildup. Our installation package includes a pre-installed service valve kit, and we offer an optional maintenance plan that handles the flush for you every year.
What warranty coverage do you provide on tankless installations?
All major brands we install (Rinnai, Navien, Noritz) come with 15-year heat-exchanger, 5-year parts, and 1-year labor warranties. Our company extends the labor warranty to 3 years at no additional cost for Dunlap residents, and we register your unit with the manufacturer to ensure full coverage.
Can a tankless water heater supply enough hot water for my large family?
Absolutely, as long as the unit is correctly sized. We calculate your peak simultaneous demand—showers, dishwasher, laundry—and match it to a heater with the right gallons-per-minute flow rate (typically 8–11 GPM for larger households). Because a tankless system produces continuous hot water, you can run back-to-back showers without waiting for a tank to reheat.
