FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in Mulberry?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you’re not constantly paying to keep 40–80 gal. of water hot. Homeowners typically see energy-bill savings of 20-40 %. You’ll also gain endless hot water, a unit that lasts 18-25 years (about twice the life of a tank), and up to 80 % less space used—great for Mulberry homes that lack large utility rooms.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations in the Mulberry area are completed the same day. A straightforward gas-to-gas replacement averages 4–6 hours. Converting from an electric or tank system can take 6–9 hours because we may need to reroute venting, add a condensate line, or upgrade the gas supply. We’ll give you a precise time window once we’ve inspected your existing setup.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service?
Possibly. High-efficiency gas tankless units require ¾-in. gas piping and 120 V power for the control board and fan. If your current gas line is ½-in., we’ll calculate demand and may recommend upsizing a section to comply with Florida Fuel Gas Code. Electric tankless models often need 150–200 A service and multiple 40–50 A breakers, which most older Mulberry homes don’t have. During the free estimate we measure load, check your panel, and outline any necessary upgrades before work begins.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a tankless unit?
Savings depend on hot-water usage, fuel type, and local utility rates. In Polk County, the average household using natural gas can save $80-$120 per year compared with a standard 40-gal. tank. Propane users often save slightly more because tankless units eliminate standby losses. Electric tankless models can reduce consumption 10-20 %, but the biggest benefit is capacity and space savings when electric rates are higher.
What regular maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To keep your warranty valid and efficiency high you should flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution once a year to remove mineral scale—especially important with Mulberry’s moderately hard (140-ppm) water. We offer an affordable annual service that includes descaling, cleaning the air intake filter, checking the condensate trap, inspecting venting, and updating firmware on digital units. Most visits take under an hour.
Is a permit required in Mulberry for a tankless water heater installation, and do you handle it?
Yes. Polk County Building Division requires a mechanical or plumbing permit for any water-heater replacement, plus an electrical permit if new circuits are added. Our licensed technicians pull all necessary permits, schedule the inspection, and provide the final completion documents for your records. You don’t have to do any paperwork—just enjoy reliable, on-demand hot water.
