FAQs
How does a tankless water heater deliver “endless” hot water, and will it meet my family’s demand in La Follette?
Unlike storage-tank heaters that keep 40–80 gallons on standby, a tankless unit heats water the moment it flows through the heat exchanger. As long as gas or electricity is available, hot water continues indefinitely, so the last shower is as hot as the first. During installation we size the unit to your household’s peak demand (number of simultaneous showers, laundry loads, etc.). In most La Follette homes a 7–10 GPM natural-gas model or a 15–18 kW electric model easily covers two baths and an appliance running at once. If your demand is higher, we can install parallel units or a recirculation loop to ensure every fixture gets hot water instantly.
What are the key advantages of going tankless compared with a traditional tank heater?
• Unlimited hot water on demand – no more scheduling showers. • Up to 40 % lower energy use because there’s no standby heat loss. • Compact size – units mount on a wall and free up closet or garage space. • Longer service life: 20–25 years versus 8–12 years for most tanks. • Cleaner water – no rusty sediment buildup. • Optional Wi-Fi monitoring and precise temperature control.
How long does a typical installation take, and will my existing utilities need upgrades?
A standard replacement takes 4–6 hours for gas units and 6–8 hours for electric units. We begin by safely removing the old tank, mounting the new unit, and running venting, gas, water, and electrical connections. Many La Follette homes already have adequate ¾-in. gas lines; if not, we’ll upsize or install a dedicated line. Electric models above 12 kW usually require a 240-V, 60-amp breaker; we can add sub-panels if needed. Before quoting, our technician performs a site survey so you know exactly what upgrades, if any, are required.
What is the expected lifespan and maintenance schedule for a tankless water heater in our area?
With proper care, tankless units last 20–25 years. La Follette’s moderate but mineral-rich water means annual maintenance is recommended. We flush the heat exchanger with a food-grade vinegar solution to remove scale, clean the inlet filter, and run diagnostic tests on sensors and igniters. The service takes about 60 minutes and preserves efficiency and warranty coverage. We offer a convenient maintenance plan that includes priority scheduling and discounted parts.
How much can I save on utility bills, and are there local incentives?
Families switching from a standard gas tank to a high-efficiency tankless model typically save $80–$120 per year on natural gas. Electric tankless users see 15–25 % lower kWh usage compared to electric tanks. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers $100–$300 rebates for ENERGY STAR-qualified units installed by certified contractors like Endless Hot Water Plumbing. Federal tax credits of 30 % (up to $600) are also available through 2032 for units ≥0.95 UEF. We handle all paperwork so you receive every incentive you’re entitled to.
Are tankless water heaters safe and code-compliant, and do you take care of permits and inspections?
Yes. All models we install are CSA-certified and meet the 2021 International Residential Code and Tennessee Mechanical Code. They include multiple safety layers: flame-failure detection, over-heat cutoff, freeze protection, and sealed combustion vents. Endless Hot Water Plumbing pulls the required Campbell County permits, schedules the inspection with the La Follette Building Department, and provides you a copy of the final approval. Our installers are licensed, bonded, insured, and factory-trained so you have complete peace of mind from day one.
