FAQs
How does a tankless water heater provide endless hot water?
Unlike traditional storage tanks that heat and store a set volume of water, a tankless (on-demand) unit uses high-efficiency gas burners or electric elements to heat water instantly as it flows through a heat exchanger. Because it only heats what you need, when you need it, the supply is virtually limitless—as long as the unit is sized correctly for your household’s peak demand.
What are the benefits of installing a tankless water heater in Newcomb’s climate?
Newcomb’s mild coastal climate means incoming water temperatures are relatively moderate, allowing tankless units to reach set temperatures quickly and with less energy. Homeowners enjoy lower running costs, reduced greenhouse-gas emissions, space savings (no bulky tank), and the elimination of standby heat losses that occur with storage cylinders.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installs are completed in one day. A straightforward replacement of an old tank system often takes 4–6 hours, including mounting the new unit, adjusting gas or electrical connections, running a condensate drain (for high-efficiency gas models), and commissioning. Complex retrofits—such as relocating the heater or upsizing the gas line—may extend the job to a full day.
Will a tankless water heater work with my existing plumbing and gas/electrical supply?
In many cases, yes. Cold- and hot-water lines connect directly to the new unit. Gas models generally need a 20–32 mm gas line to handle higher firing rates; older homes with smaller gas pipes may require an upgrade. Electric models demand a dedicated high-amperage circuit. During our free on-site assessment, we measure flow rates, check pipe sizes, and confirm venting options so you know exactly what, if any, modifications are necessary.
How energy-efficient are tankless systems compared with traditional storage tanks?
High-efficiency condensing gas tankless units achieve 94–98 % thermal efficiency, while non-condensing versions are typically 82–85 %. Conventional storage tanks average 60–70 %. Because tankless heaters avoid standby losses and only run when hot water is drawn, households often see energy savings of 20–40 % per year, depending on usage patterns.
What maintenance is required to keep my tankless water heater running efficiently?
Annual servicing is recommended. A qualified plumber will flush the heat exchanger with a descaling solution to remove mineral build-up (especially important in the Greater Geelong region’s moderately hard water), inspect the burner or heating elements, clean the inlet filter, and verify proper venting and combustion. Regular maintenance preserves efficiency, prevents premature wear, and keeps your warranty valid.
