FAQs
What are the main advantages of replacing my traditional tank with a tankless water heater in Greenback?
Tankless units heat water on demand, giving you endless hot water, reducing standby heat loss, and cutting energy use by 25-40 %. They are wall-mounted, freeing floor space, and last 18-20 years—roughly twice the life of a tank. They are also less susceptible to leaks that can damage property. For Greenback homeowners who rely heavily on electric or propane, the efficiency gains usually translate into noticeable monthly savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
How do I determine the correct size (flow rate) for my household?
Sizing is based on simultaneous fixture use and desired temperature rise. First, we calculate the total gallons-per-minute (GPM) your home may demand at peak—e.g., shower (2 GPM) + dishwasher (1.5 GPM) + washing machine (2 GPM) ≈ 5.5 GPM. Next, we measure incoming ground-water temperature in Greenback (typically 55-60 °F) and add the 60 °F rise needed for 115-120 °F hot water. A unit that delivers 6 GPM at 60 °F rise would suit this example. During your free estimate, Tailored Solutions Plumbing performs these calculations and recommends models that match your family’s habits and fuel type (natural gas, propane, or electric).
What does Tailored Solutions Plumbing’s installation process include?
1) Site assessment: We inspect gas/electric service, venting paths, and water lines to ensure code compliance. 2) Unit selection: We help you pick an ENERGY STAR®-rated tankless model sized for your needs. 3) Removal & disposal: Old tank is drained, disconnected, and hauled away. 4) Utility upgrades: If required, we up-size gas lines, install a dedicated 120 V outlet, or add condensate drains. 5) Mounting & connections: The tankless heater is wall-mounted; water, gas/electric, and vent lines are connected using manufacturer-approved materials. 6) Commissioning: We purge air, check gas pressure, program temperature, and verify proper flow. 7) Customer orientation: You receive a walkthrough on maintenance, error codes, and warranty paperwork.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after switching?
Savings depend on usage patterns and fuel costs, but most Greenback residents see a 15-30 % reduction in water-heating expenses—often $75-$150 per year for a three-to-four-person household. Gas models usually pay for themselves within 5-7 years, while electric models may take longer unless paired with solar. Added benefits include lower risk of catastrophic leaks, which can save thousands in potential water-damage repairs.
Are there any rebates, tax credits, or utility incentives available in Greenback?
Yes. As of 2024, qualified ENERGY STAR® gas tankless heaters can earn a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600 under the Inflation Reduction Act). Local utilities such as Loudon Utilities Board and TVA energy-right® frequently offer $100-$300 rebates for high-efficiency water heaters. Tailored Solutions Plumbing will supply model numbers, paperwork, and proof of installation so you can claim any state or utility incentives that are active when you purchase.
What maintenance does a tankless system require and do you offer service plans?
To keep the warranty valid and preserve efficiency, manufacturers recommend an annual flush with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale, cleaning of the combustion chamber, and inspection of filters, igniters, and venting. Homes with hard water above 7 grains per gallon may need a scale filter or more frequent flushing. Tailored Solutions Plumbing offers a low-cost annual service plan that includes descaling, component checks, firmware updates, and a discounted rate on any replacement parts, ensuring your system runs flawlessly for decades.
