FAQs
How much can I expect to save on my Fayetteville energy bills by switching to a tankless water heater?
Because a tankless water heater only heats water when you actually open a tap, it eliminates the 24-hour standby losses of a traditional tank. In most Fayetteville homes that use 41–80 gallons of hot water per day, ENERGY STAR® data show savings of 24–40 % on water-heating costs—typically $90–$150 per year. Larger households or those converting from an older, inefficient tank may see even higher savings over the 20-year life expectancy of the appliance.
Will a tankless water heater work with my current plumbing and gas/electric service?
In nearly every case, yes. Our installers inspect your existing water lines, venting, and gas (or electrical) capacity before the job begins. Gas models usually need a ¾-inch gas line and Category III stainless-steel venting, while electric models may require a 100–200 amp service panel with two to four 40- to 60-amp breakers. If upgrades are needed, we’ll provide a clear, up-front quote and handle the permits with the City of Fayetteville and Cumberland County Inspections.
How long does a professional tankless installation take and will I be without hot water?
Most Fayetteville installs are completed in one day. We arrive with all permits and materials, remove your old tank, mount and connect the new unit, test gas pressure or electrical load, flush the lines, and program the controller. Your hot-water downtime is typically 2–4 hours. If extensive gas-line upsizing or electrical work is required, we schedule a second technician so you’re never without hot water overnight.
What size (GPM) tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on your home’s peak hot-water demand measured in gallons per minute (GPM). In Fayetteville, ground-water temperature averages 60 °F, so a 70 °F rise delivers a 130 °F shower. A typical 2-bath, 3-bedroom home needs 6–8 GPM; larger homes with soaking tubs or multiple simultaneous showers may require 9–11 GPM or a dual-unit cascade system. During your free estimate we calculate your exact peak flow and recommend the most efficient model.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require in our area?
Fayetteville’s water hardness averages 3–5 grains per gallon—moderately hard—so we recommend a quick annual flush with white vinegar or food-grade descaler to remove mineral scale from the heat exchanger. The process takes about 45 minutes and can be done by a homeowner or as part of our low-cost service plan. Cleaning the inlet screen filter every 6 months and checking the vent for debris will keep your unit running at 98 % efficiency year-round.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or utility incentives for going tankless in Fayetteville?
Yes. Through 2032, qualifying ENERGY STAR® gas and electric tankless units earn a 30 % federal tax credit (Form 5695) up to $600. Fayetteville PWC offers a $200 bill credit for replacing a standard electric tank with an electric tankless model. Duke Energy Progress customers can apply for a $150 rebate on high-efficiency gas units. We supply all paperwork and serial numbers, and most customers receive their rebate within 4–6 weeks.
