FAQs
How does a tankless water heater provide endless hot water compared to a traditional tank?
A tankless system uses high-output gas burners or electric heating elements to warm water only when a hot-water tap is opened. Because it heats water on demand instead of storing a fixed 40–50 gallons, it never “runs out.” As long as gas, electricity, and water are flowing, it will continue to supply hot water, so multiple back-to-back showers or long soaks won’t deplete a storage tank.
Is a tankless unit energy-efficient and will it lower my utility bills in Jasper?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates tankless gas heaters are 24–34 % more efficient for homes that use under 41 gallons of hot water per day, and 8–14 % more efficient for heavier usage. By eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank, many Jasper homeowners see annual savings of $80–$150 on natural-gas or electric bills, depending on usage and local rates.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) total flow rate (gallons per minute) you want to run simultaneously—e.g., shower + dishwasher, and 2) the required temperature rise, which in Jasper is typically 60 °F (groundwater ~60 °F, desired outlet 120 °F). We calculate peak demand—usually 5–8 GPM for a three-bath home—and choose a unit with slightly higher capacity to ensure comfortable performance during winter’s coldest groundwater temperatures.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Installation includes removing the old tank, mounting the new wall-hung unit, upgrading gas or electrical service if necessary, running stainless-steel venting or concentric PVC flues, and re-routing water lines with isolation valves for maintenance. A standard replacement in Jasper usually takes one working day. If major gas-line upsizing, panel upgrades, or vent runs through multiple stories are required, it can extend to two days.
Does a tankless water heater require regular maintenance?
To keep efficiency high and maintain warranty coverage, manufacturers recommend flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar or descaling solution once a year to remove mineral buildup—especially important in Jasper’s moderately hard water. The inline screen filter should also be cleaned periodically. Our service team offers annual maintenance plans that handle these tasks in about an hour.
Are there local codes or incentives in Jasper I should know about before installing?
Pickens County follows Georgia Plumbing and Mechanical Codes, which require a permit for any gas or major plumbing modification. Venting must adhere to the manufacturer’s UL-listed guidelines and terminate at least 3 ft from openings. Energy-efficient gas units with ≥ 0.95 UEF may qualify for a federal 30 % tax credit (up to $600) and occasional Georgia Power rebates. We handle all permitting and can supply the paperwork you need for tax incentives.
