FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless water heater in Robbins?
Tankless units provide hot water on demand, eliminating standby heat loss common with traditional tanks. They save 20–40% on energy bills, free up floor space, last 18–20 years (almost double a tank system), and offer an endless supply of hot water—ideal for large families or homes with multiple bathrooms.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation typically take?
In most Robbins residences, the entire process takes 4–8 hours. This includes removing the old tank, upgrading gas or electrical lines if needed, mounting the new unit, venting, and testing for leaks and proper flow. Complex retrofits—such as relocating the heater or upsizing gas lines—can extend the timeframe to a full day.
Will my existing gas or electrical service support a tankless system?
Possibly, but not always. Gas-fired units often need ¾-inch gas lines and a higher BTU rating than a traditional tank. Electric models may require 120–200 amp service and dedicated breakers. During our free in-home assessment, we measure gas pressure, amperage, and panel capacity to determine whether upgrades are necessary before installation.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require in Robbins’ water conditions?
To maintain efficiency, flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution every 12–18 months to remove mineral scale—especially important because central North Carolina’s water is moderately hard. Our service plan includes annual inspections, descaling, cleaning the inlet filter, and checking venting and combustion settings.
How much can I expect to pay for a tankless water heater and installation?
Prices vary by size and fuel type, but most Robbins homeowners invest $2,800–$4,700 total, including the unit, venting, minor line modifications, permits, and labor. High-output or recirculation models can run higher. Energy savings typically offset the cost in 5–7 years, and Duke Energy and Piedmont Natural Gas often offer rebates up to $250.
Are tankless water heaters compatible with local building codes and permits in Robbins?
Yes. Moore County requires a plumbing permit and, for gas units, a mechanical permit. Venting must meet ANSI Z223.1 (National Fuel Gas Code) and combustion air requirements. Our licensed, bonded plumbers handle all permitting, schedule inspections, and provide documentation so you remain fully compliant and covered by manufacturer warranties.
