FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing a tankless water heater for my home in La Follette?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and you avoid the standby energy losses of a storage tank. Homeowners in La Follette typically see energy-bill reductions of 20–40 %, free up floor space, and gain appliances that can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. Many models also qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
For most homes in La Follette, a straightforward replacement of a traditional tank system with a new gas or electric tankless unit takes 4–6 hours. This includes removing the old heater, mounting the new one, making water, gas, and vent connections, and testing the system. If your project requires upsizing the gas line, adding a condensate drain, or installing a new electrical circuit, it can extend the job to a full day. We’ll provide a time estimate after the in-home assessment.
Will a tankless unit supply enough hot water for my whole family?
Yes—when the unit is properly sized. Tankless heaters are rated by “gallons per minute” (GPM). We calculate the flow rate of all fixtures you’re likely to run simultaneously (shower + dishwasher + washing machine, for example) and match you with a unit that meets or exceeds that demand, even during La Follette’s winter groundwater temperatures. A correctly sized model will deliver continuous hot water without temperature swings.
Do I need permits or inspections for a tankless installation in La Follette or Campbell County?
Yes. The State of Tennessee requires a plumbing/mechanical permit for water-heater replacements that involve gas or venting changes. Campbell County’s building department (based in Jacksboro) enforces these rules. As a licensed plumbing contractor, we pull all required permits, schedule the inspection, and meet the inspector onsite so you don’t have to handle the paperwork.
How do I know which size and fuel type of tankless water heater is right for my house?
During a free in-home consultation we measure your incoming water temperature, count fixtures, and review your gas or electrical capacity. Gas models generally deliver higher flow rates, but electric units work well in smaller homes or where gas service isn’t available. We’ll provide a load calculation, show efficiency comparisons, and recommend models that meet your hot-water needs and budget.
What maintenance is required after installation, and do you offer service plans?
Tankless water heaters need an annual flush with a vinegar solution to remove mineral buildup, especially in La Follette where water hardness averages 6–8 grains per gallon. Gas units also require a combustion check and vent inspection. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that covers the yearly descale, checks filters and valves, updates firmware (for Wi-Fi models), and extends the manufacturer’s heat-exchanger warranty. Staying current on maintenance keeps your unit efficient and prevents costly repairs.
