FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater for my Pikeville home?
Tankless units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating the standby heat loss that occurs with traditional tanks. For an average Pikeville household, this can translate to 20–40 % lower energy bills, unlimited hot water for back-to-back showers, and a space-saving wall-mount design that frees up valuable floor space.
How does a tankless water heater actually work?
When you turn on a hot-water fixture, a flow sensor signals the gas burner or electric element to ignite. Cold water enters the heat exchanger, is heated to the set temperature within seconds, and then delivered to your faucet. When you close the tap, the burner shuts off, so energy is used only while water is flowing.
What size or capacity do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on peak demand (gallons per minute, or GPM) and desired temperature rise. For example, two simultaneous showers in Pikeville generally need about 5–6 GPM with a 70 °F rise. We perform a load calculation that considers family size, fixture flow rates, and incoming water temperature (typically 50–55 °F in Eastern Kentucky) to recommend the correct model, ensuring you never run out of hot water.
How long does installation take and what’s involved?
A standard replacement from a tank to a tankless unit usually takes one working day. Our licensed plumbers will: 1) disconnect and haul away the old tank, 2) mount the new unit on an exterior or interior wall, 3) upsized gas or electrical service if required, 4) install Category III/IV venting or concentric fresh-air intake, 5) add isolation valves and a condensate drain, and 6) test for leaks and calibrate temperature. We pull all necessary Pike County permits and leave the area clean.
What kind of maintenance will my tankless heater need?
Most manufacturers recommend an annual flush with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale, especially important in Pikeville where water hardness averages 6–8 grains per gallon. We offer a low-cost service plan that includes flushing the heat exchanger, cleaning the inlet screen, checking the vent and condensate line, and verifying gas pressure or electrical connections to keep your warranty valid and efficiency high.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Pikeville or Kentucky?
Yes. Columbia Gas of Kentucky presently offers rebates up to $300 for ENERGY STAR® natural-gas tankless installations. Kentucky’s state energy program may provide additional incentives, and federal tax credits up to 30 % of the project cost (capped at $600) are available for qualifying high-efficiency models installed in 2023–2032. Our office will handle the paperwork so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
