FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater?
Tankless (on-demand) water heaters heat water only when you open a tap, so they eliminate the 24/7 standby heat loss of a storage tank. That translates into energy savings of 20-40 % for the average household, endless hot water for back-to-back showers, and a unit that is roughly the size of a carry-on bag—freeing up floor space. Most quality models are rated for 20 + years of service, roughly double the life expectancy of a conventional tank.
How do I know if my home in Guild is suitable for a tankless system?
Almost any home can be retrofitted, but we start with a quick assessment of your gas line size, venting route, water hardness, and expected hot-water demand. Homes with natural gas already installed usually need only a modest gas-line upsizing; properties on propane or electric will require different models. During your free Comfort & Efficiency Plumbing consultation, we calculate flow-rate requirements (gallons-per-minute) for your bathrooms, kitchen and laundry to ensure the selected unit can deliver hot water at peak demand without temperature dips.
What is involved in a professional tankless water heater installation by Comfort & Efficiency Plumbing?
Our licensed technician arrives with the pre-selected unit, mounting bracket, isolation valves, condensate pump (if required), and stainless-steel vent kit. We disconnect and haul away your old tank, upgrade the gas service or install a dedicated 240-V circuit for electric models, run the sealed combustion vent to an exterior wall or roof, and connect water lines with insulated PEX or copper. Before we leave we flush the heat exchanger, program the thermostat, register the warranty, and walk you through basic maintenance. All work is code-compliant and city-permit ready.
How long does a typical installation take and will I be without hot water?
Most residential conversions are completed in one working day—about 6–8 hours. You will be without hot water only while the old tank is removed and the new unit is tied in (roughly 2–4 hours). For homes that need major gas-line upsizing or longer vent runs, we may schedule an additional half-day, but we always inform you in advance so you can plan accordingly.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills and are there any rebates available?
Savings depend on usage, fuel type, and the age of your previous heater, but our Guild customers typically report 15–35 % lower utility bills. If you have a large family or run multiple back-to-back showers, the payback is even faster. Fortis BC and CleanBC frequently offer $200–$1,000 incentives for ENERGY STAR® certified gas units, and we handle all the paperwork so you receive your rebate without hassle.
What kind of maintenance and warranty coverage do tankless units require?
Manufacturers recommend an annual (or bi-annual in hard-water areas) 45-minute descaling flush and filter cleaning to keep efficiency high and prevent mineral buildup. Comfort & Efficiency Plumbing provides an optional maintenance plan that includes this service and a full system check. Most premium units come with a 15-year heat-exchanger warranty, 5-year parts, and 1-year labor; when we install the system the labor coverage is extended to 3 years at no extra cost.
