FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss. This can lower energy use by 25–40 %, deliver an endless supply of hot water, free up several square feet of floor space, and provide a service life of 20+ years—about twice that of a standard storage tank. Our premium models also feature modulating burners for precise temperature control and ultra-low NOx emissions, making them an eco-friendly choice for Petros homeowners.
Is my Petros home compatible with a tankless system?
Almost every residence in Petros can be retrofitted, but three factors must be checked: 1. Fuel type: We install natural-gas, LP, and electric units. A properly sized gas line (¾″ or larger) or a 240-V electrical circuit is essential. 2. Venting: Gas models need stainless-steel or PVC venting to an exterior wall or roof. We evaluate the shortest, code-compliant route during our site visit. 3. Water quality: Petros has moderately hard water. We test on-site and may recommend a scale-reduction filter to protect the heat exchanger. Our technicians perform a free assessment, provide any required upgrades up-front, and secure city permits before work begins.
How long does installation take and will I be without hot water?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 4–6 hours. Complex projects that include gas-line upsizing or electrical panel work may run 8–10 hours. We coordinate installation so you are without hot water for only the final 1–2 hours while we disconnect the old tank and commission the new unit. Same-day hot water is guaranteed, and we haul away the old tank at no extra charge.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on peak flow rate (gallons per minute) and required temperature rise. For example, running two showers and a dishwasher simultaneously may require 5–7 GPM at a 70 °F rise. In Petros, incoming water averages 55 °F, so to reach 120 °F you need a 65 °F rise. We calculate your specific demand, then recommend a 160,000–199,000 BTU gas unit or a 27–36 kW electric model. Oversizing wastes energy; undersizing causes temperature fluctuation, so professional load calculation is critical.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Annual service keeps the warranty valid and efficiency high. Our maintenance includes: • Descaling the heat exchanger with food-grade vinegar or citric solution to remove mineral buildup. • Cleaning the inlet filter and exhaust fan. • Verifying gas pressure, combustion quality, and temperature calibration. • Updating firmware on smart models. Most visits take under an hour. Homes with very hard water may need descaling every six months; we can install an automatic flush kit to simplify the process.
Are there rebates or incentives for tankless installation in Petros?
Yes. As of this year: • Federal tax credit: 30 % of project cost, up to $600 for ENERGY STAR–certified units. • Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) rebate: $200 for qualifying gas or electric tankless heaters. • Petros Utility Board: Waives the standard $50 gas permit fee for high-efficiency upgrades. • Manufacturer promotions: Many of our top-tier models include a 12-year warranty upgrade when installed by a certified professional. We complete all paperwork and apply the rebates to your final invoice so you don’t have to wait for a refund.
