FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless water heater for my Grandview home?
Tankless, or on-demand, water heaters heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank. This provides endless hot water, reduces energy use by 20–40 %, saves space because the units mount on a wall, and typically lasts 18–20 years—about twice as long as a conventional tank. Many homeowners in Grandview also appreciate the lower risk of catastrophic leaks because there is no stored 40- or 50-gallon supply.
How does a tankless system deliver "endless" hot water?
When a hot-water fixture is opened, flow sensors signal the unit’s burner or electric elements to ignite instantly. A high-efficiency heat exchanger warms the water as it passes through copper or stainless-steel coils, so the supply continues as long as water is flowing and the unit’s maximum flow rate is not exceeded. Because there’s no finite storage tank, you won’t "run out" of hot water the way you can with a traditional heater.
Is my house in Grandview compatible with a tankless water heater?
Most homes can accommodate a tankless unit, but a short site visit or virtual assessment confirms: 1) available gas line capacity (typically ¾-in. with up to 199,000 BTU/h) or adequate electrical service for electric models; 2) a wall for mounting near the main water and gas lines; 3) a location for stainless-steel or PVC venting. Older homes may need gas line upsizing or an electrical panel upgrade—services we provide in-house.
What size or flow rate tankless water heater do I need?
Sizing is based on simultaneous demand. We add the flow rates (gallons per minute, GPM) of fixtures you’re likely to run at once—e.g., shower 2.0 GPM + dishwasher 1.5 GPM = 3.5 GPM—and adjust for winter groundwater temperature in Grandview (≈50 °F). For that scenario, a 7–8 GPM gas unit would supply two showers or a shower plus a major appliance at the same time without temperature drop. We perform a free sizing calculation to recommend the right model.
What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?
A typical swap from a tank to a gas tankless unit takes 4–8 hours. We: 1) drain and remove your existing tank; 2) mount the new unit on an exterior or interior wall; 3) run new venting through the roof or sidewall; 4) upsize or extend the gas line and add a sediment trap; 5) install isolation valves, pressure relief valve, and condensate drain (for high-efficiency models); 6) set temperature, test for gas leaks, and flush the system. Electric tankless jobs are similar but require new high-amp breakers and wiring.
How much can I save on utilities and what maintenance is required?
Because tankless heaters avoid standby losses, Energy Star–qualified gas models typically cut natural-gas use 20-40 % versus a standard tank—often $75–$150 per year in Grandview. Electric tankless units avoid the 8–15 % tank loss as well. Annual maintenance is straightforward: flush the heat exchanger with white vinegar or a descaling solution to remove mineral build-up (more often if you have hard water), clean the inlet filter, and inspect venting. We offer a low-cost service plan for worry-free upkeep and to keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
