FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater for my Grandview home?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss that occurs with storage tanks. This delivers three key advantages: up to 40% lower energy bills, an endless supply of hot water, and a compact wall-mounted design that frees up floor space. Many models also qualify for utility rebates and increase your home’s resale value.
How do I determine the correct size (flow rate and BTU) for my new tankless water heater?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) Peak flow rate—the total gallons per minute (GPM) you expect to use at once (e.g., shower + kitchen sink). 2) Temperature rise—the difference between incoming ground water (about 50 °F in Grandview) and your desired hot-water set point (typically 120 °F). Our technicians perform a quick audit of your fixtures and usage patterns, then match you with a unit that can comfortably handle that load, usually 6–10 GPM for an average family home.
Can a tankless system connect to my existing gas, electric, and plumbing lines?
In most cases, yes. We inspect your current gas line or electrical service to verify it can supply the higher on-demand input (up to 199,000 BTU for gas or 150 A for electric models). If upgrades are needed, we handle everything—including proper venting, condensate drainage, and code-compliant plumbing modifications—so the unit integrates seamlessly with your household infrastructure.
How long will the installation take, and will I be without hot water during the process?
A standard replacement—removing your old tank and installing the new tankless unit—usually takes 4–6 hours. You’ll be without hot water only during the final connection phase, typically less than 1 hour. We schedule installations at a time that minimizes disruption and always clean up the workspace before we leave your Grandview home.
What ongoing maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
To ensure peak efficiency and long life (20+ years), annual servicing is recommended. This includes flushing the heat exchanger with a descaling solution to remove mineral buildup, checking the burner or heating elements, inspecting the venting system, and updating firmware on smart models. Our Reliable Service Plumbing maintenance plan covers all of this and keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing an energy-efficient tankless water heater in Grandview?
Yes. Many customers qualify for a $300–$600 rebate from local natural-gas utilities, plus federal tax credits of up to 30% of project cost (capped at $600) for ENERGY STAR® certified units. We stay current on all incentive programs in Grandview and complete the paperwork for you, lowering your out-of-pocket cost.
