FAQs
How does a tankless water heater work and what are the main advantages compared to a traditional tank?
A tankless (on-demand) unit uses powerful gas burners or electric elements to heat water instantly as it passes through a copper or stainless-steel heat exchanger. Because water is heated only when a hot-water tap is opened, there is no standby heat loss from a storage tank. The result is virtually endless hot water, energy savings of 20-40 % over many tank models, a space-saving wall-mounted design, and a life expectancy that can exceed 20 years when properly maintained.
Is my home in Reliance compatible with a tankless unit and what size do I need?
Almost any home can be retrofitted, but a quick site inspection by a Reliance plumbing technician is the best way to confirm. We look at gas-line or electrical capacity, venting routes, water pressure, and the hardness of your local water supply. Sizing is based on peak demand (gallons per minute) and the required temperature rise; a typical three-bath home usually needs a 7-9 GPM gas model, while smaller condos may be fine with a 3-5 GPM electric unit.
What is involved in a professional tankless water heater installation by Reliance plumbers?
Our certified technicians handle the entire process: (1) remove the old tank responsibly; (2) mount and level the new unit; (3) upgrade gas or electrical service if needed; (4) install stainless-steel or PVC venting to code; (5) add isolation valves and a condensate drain; (6) flush the system, check for leaks, and program the controller; (7) pull any required permits and arrange local inspections. Most installs are completed in one day, minimizing disruption to your household.
How much does a tankless water heater cost to install and will it save me money long term?
Installed costs in the Reliance area typically range from $3,000 to $4,800 for gas models and $2,200 to $3,500 for electric models, depending on capacity and any service upgrades. Although the upfront price is higher than a tank, homeowners often recover the difference through lower utility bills (up to 40 % savings on gas), federal or state rebates, and the longer service life of a tankless unit. Added resale value is another financial benefit.
What type of maintenance does a tankless water heater require and can Reliance perform it?
Annual maintenance is recommended: a descaling flush to remove mineral buildup, inspection of the ignition system, cleaning the inlet filter, and verifying vent integrity. In hard-water areas, flushing may be needed twice a year. Reliance offers affordable maintenance plans that include priority scheduling and discounted parts, ensuring your unit remains efficient and under warranty.
What warranties and post-installation support does Reliance offer for tankless water heaters?
Most manufacturers provide a 10- to 15-year heat exchanger warranty and 5-year parts coverage; Reliance extends this with a 1-year labor warranty on our workmanship. Optional Protection Plans are available for up to 10 years of full parts-and-labor coverage, annual maintenance visits, and 24/7 emergency service, so you can enjoy worry-free hot water for the life of the unit.
