FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in my Grandview home?
Tankless water heaters deliver hot water on demand, so you’re not paying to keep a storage tank heated 24/7. This cuts standby energy losses by 25–40 %, translating into lower monthly utility bills. They also last about twice as long as traditional tanks (20+ years with proper maintenance), free up valuable space, and provide an endless supply of hot water—great for families with high-volume usage.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
For most Grandview residences, a straightforward replacement takes 4–6 hours, including removal of the old tank, mounting the new unit, upgrading gas or electrical lines if needed, and venting. Complex installs—such as relocating the heater, upsizing gas lines, or adding water softeners—can extend the job to a full day. We give you a precise timeline after the on-site evaluation.
Are tankless water heaters really more energy-efficient than conventional tanks?
Yes. Because they heat water only when you open a tap, tankless units avoid the constant reheating cycles that storage tanks require. ENERGY STAR® models can be up to 34 % more efficient for homes that use 41 gallons of hot water a day and about 14 % more efficient for heavy-use households. Over the unit’s lifetime, these savings often offset the higher upfront cost.
What size (flow rate) tankless water heater do I need?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) the maximum flow rate you’ll need at one time, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and (2) the temperature rise required for Grandview’s groundwater (typically 50–55 °F) to reach your desired hot-water temperature. For example, running two showers (2.5 GPM each) and a dishwasher (1.5 GPM) simultaneously would require about 6.5 GPM at a 60 °F rise. Our technicians calculate these numbers during the consultation to recommend the ideal unit.
Are there rebates or incentives in Grandview for installing a high-efficiency tankless water heater?
Yes. Many Missouri utility providers, including Evergy and Spire, periodically offer rebates—usually $200–$400—for ENERGY STAR®-qualified gas tankless models. In addition, federal tax credits of 30 % of the project cost (up to $600) may apply under the Inflation Reduction Act. We handle the paperwork and provide all documentation so you can claim every available incentive.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Annual maintenance is recommended to keep performance high and protect your warranty. The service includes descaling (flushing) the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup, cleaning the inlet filter, inspecting the venting system, checking gas pressure, and updating firmware on smart models. In Grandview’s moderately hard water, adding a whole-home or point-of-use water softener can extend maintenance intervals and unit lifespan.
