FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer for Fayetteville homeowners compared with a traditional storage tank?
Tankless units heat water on demand, eliminating standby heat loss and reducing energy bills by up to 40 percent. Because there is no bulky tank, you regain 10–20 sq ft of floor space, and you never run out of hot water during back-to-back showers. Fayetteville’s moderate winters mean a smaller temperature rise is needed, so tankless models operate very efficiently here. In addition, most systems qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates, further lowering the overall cost.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation usually take?
For a straightforward replacement of a gas or electric tank with a same-fuel tankless unit, our licensed plumbers can complete the job in 4–6 hours. If gas piping, venting, or electrical upgrades are required, the project may extend to a full day. We handle permit filing with the City of Fayetteville, schedule any needed inspections, and test the unit before we leave to be sure you have hot water right away.
Will my existing gas line, venting, or electrical service support a new tankless water heater?
Many homes in Fayetteville already have adequate utilities, but not all. Gas models typically need a ¾-inch gas line and Category III or IV stainless-steel venting. Electric units may call for one or more 40- to 60-amp breakers and 240-volt dedicated circuits. During your free on-site assessment we measure gas pressure, inspect vent routes, and check your electrical panel. If upgrades are necessary, we give you a firm quote before work starts.
How do I choose the right size (GPM) tankless water heater for my household?
Sizing is based on simultaneous demand and required temperature rise. The average Fayetteville home needs 6–9 gallons per minute (GPM) to run two showers and a washer at once. We calculate your peak usage, factor in the local groundwater temperature (about 60 °F), and recommend a unit with sufficient BTUs or kilowatts to raise that water to 120 °F. Oversizing wastes money up front, while undersizing causes lukewarm water, so professional sizing is essential.
Are tankless water heaters really more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that homes using 41 gallons of hot water per day or less can save 24-34 percent on energy with a tankless system. Even higher-demand households save 8–14 percent. Because the heat exchanger fires only when you open a tap, no energy is spent keeping 40–50 gallons hot 24/7. Most units last 20+ years—about double the life span of a tank—so your investment pays off in lower utilities and fewer replacements.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect after installation?
Tankless heaters require an annual flush to remove mineral scale—especially important with Fayetteville’s moderately hard water. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that includes descaling, filter cleaning, vent inspection, and software updates. Most major brands carry a 12- to 15-year heat-exchanger warranty and 5-year parts warranty when installed by a licensed professional and maintained as recommended. Regular service keeps your unit running efficiently and preserves full warranty protection.
