FAQs
How does a tankless water heater produce hot water differently than a traditional storage tank?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater uses high-powered burners or electric elements to heat water only when you open a hot-water tap. Cold water passes through a heat exchanger, reaches the set temperature within seconds, and is delivered straight to the fixture—there is no storage tank keeping 40–50 gallons hot all day. This design eliminates stand-by heat loss, delivers endless hot water, and saves space, making it ideal for homes and businesses in Petros where utility costs and square footage are concerns.
What size tankless unit do I need for my Petros home?
Sizing is based on the maximum flow rate (gallons per minute, or GPM) you’ll need during peak demand and the temperature rise required for our local groundwater (about 50 °F in Petros). We start by adding the GPM of all fixtures you might use simultaneously—e.g., two showers (4–5 GPM each) plus a kitchen sink (2 GPM) equals roughly 11 GPM. We then choose a unit that can raise incoming water from 50 °F to 120 °F at that flow rate—typically a 180,000–199,000 BTU natural-gas model or a 27 kW electric model. A site visit lets us confirm exact requirements and recommend single or multiple units for larger homes.
Will a tankless water heater really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Because tankless systems heat water only when it’s needed, they avoid the 10–15 % standby losses of storage tanks. ENERGY STAR®-qualified gas tankless heaters are 24–34 % more efficient for homes that use under 41 gallons of hot water per day and 8–14 % more efficient for higher-use households. Over the unit’s lifetime, Petros homeowners typically see savings of $80–$150 per year on natural gas, plus potential local utility rebates that shorten payback time.
How long does installation take, and will my gas or electrical service need upgrading?
A straightforward retrofit in Petros usually takes one full working day. We’ll remove the old tank, mount the tankless unit, run new venting (stainless steel or PVC, depending on model), and reroute water and gas or electrical lines. Gas models often require larger ¾-inch gas piping and a Category III or IV vent. Electric models may need one or two 40- to 60-amp double-pole breakers and 8-gauge wiring. During your estimate we measure existing service sizes, check Petros building codes, and include any necessary upgrades in the quote so there are no surprises.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To keep efficiency high and maintain your warranty, plan on an annual service visit. We flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale (especially important with Petros’s moderately hard water), clean the inlet screen filter, test gas pressure or electrical connections, and verify temperature settings. Homeowners can also clean the air intake screen every few months. With proper maintenance, performance stays consistent and costly breakdowns are prevented.
How long will a tankless water heater last, and what warranty coverage is offered?
Tankless units typically last 20–25 years—about double the life of a standard tank—because they don’t constantly store hot water and suffer less corrosion. Leading manufacturers offer heat-exchanger warranties of 10–15 years, parts warranties of 5 years, and 1-year labor coverage. Our Petros installation workmanship carries an additional 1-year labor warranty, and extended service plans are available for up to 10 years of labor protection.
