FAQs
How does a tankless water heater deliver “endless” hot water?
Unlike conventional tanks that store 40–80 gallons and re-heat them over and over, a tankless unit uses high-output burners or electric elements to heat water only when a hot-water tap is opened. Cold water flows through a heat exchanger, is warmed to the set temperature within seconds, and continues to flow as long as the tap stays open. Because there is no storage tank to empty, you never “run out” of hot water—capacity is limited only by the unit’s flow-rate and the size of your incoming gas or electrical supply.
What size tankless unit do I need for my Guild home?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) the total flow rate (gallons per minute) of fixtures you may use at the same time, and (2) the temperature rise required—how much you need to raise incoming water to your desired outlet temperature. In Guild, groundwater temperatures average 50–55 °F, so for a 120 °F set point you need about a 65 °F rise. Most families choose a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a 4–6 GPM electric unit to run two showers plus a sink simultaneously. We perform a free fixture count and temperature calculation during our estimate visit to confirm the exact model that fits your lifestyle and utility service.
How much energy (and money) can a tankless system save?
Because a tankless heater eliminates “stand-by” losses—heat that constantly escapes from a storage tank—it can cut water-heating energy use by 24–34 % for homes that use 40 gallons of hot water per day and up to 14 % for high-demand homes. In dollars, Guild homeowners typically see $80–$150 per year in gas savings and even more when replacing an old electric tank. Additional savings come from the appliance’s longer life (20+ years vs. 10–12 for a tank) and eligibility for federal tax credits or local utility rebates when installed by a licensed contractor like us.
What should I expect on installation day—will my water be shut off for long?
A standard replacement takes 4–6 hours. We begin by draining and safely removing your old tank, then mount the new wall-hung unit, upgrade gas or electrical service if needed, install stainless-steel venting, and connect water and condensate lines. Your water will be off for roughly 1–2 hours; we coordinate the shutdown to minimize disruption. Before we leave we purge air from the lines, test every fixture, program the controller, and haul away all debris so you have hot water the same day.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Tankless units have no anode rod to replace, but they do need annual or bi-annual service to stay efficient: (1) a 45-minute descaling flush with food-grade vinegar to remove mineral buildup from the heat exchanger, (2) cleaning of inlet water and air filters, and (3) inspection of the burner, venting, and condensate drain. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that includes reminders, discounted service, and priority scheduling to keep your warranty valid and your unit running at peak performance.
Can a tankless heater be installed where my current tank sits?
In most cases, yes. Modern tankless units are compact and mount on the wall, freeing up floor space. We assess the existing location for adequate combustion air, vent-run length, condensate drainage, and gas or electrical capacity. If the current spot is unsuitable, we can often relocate the heater to an exterior wall, garage, or utility closet. Our Guild-licensed plumbers handle any required piping reroutes, vent penetrations, and permit paperwork, ensuring the installation meets local building and safety codes.
