FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in my Soddy-Daisy home?
A properly sized tankless unit heats water only when you open a tap, so you stop paying to keep 40–50 gallons hot 24/7. Homeowners typically see energy-bill savings of 20–40 %, enjoy an unlimited supply of hot water for back-to-back showers or large whirlpool tubs, and gain extra closet or garage space because the wall-hung box is much smaller than a storage tank. Modern units also have longer life spans (18–20 years versus 8–12 years for a tank) and come with advanced safety features that shut the burner off if exhaust or temperature limits are exceeded.
Will a tankless heater really give my family “endless” hot water?
Yes—within its flow-rate capacity. A tankless heater never runs out of stored hot water; it heats water as it passes through a heat exchanger. As long as total demand stays below the unit’s rated gallons-per-minute (GPM) output, you can shower, do laundry, and run the dishwasher without waiting for a tank to reheat. In Soddy-Daisy we size units based on a winter groundwater temperature around 55 °F. A common 7–9 GPM gas model will comfortably handle two showers plus a sink at the same time; larger households may choose a 10–11 GPM unit or install two smaller units in parallel.
How do I know what size and fuel type (gas vs. electric) is right for my house?
We perform a free on-site assessment that looks at your family’s simultaneous hot-water habits, fixture flow rates, incoming gas line size, electrical service capacity, and venting options. Most Soddy-Daisy homes opt for natural-gas or propane units because they deliver higher GPM output and lower operating costs. Electric tankless models work well for smaller residences or point-of-use applications but often require 150–200 amps of dedicated 240-V breakers, which many existing panels cannot support without an upgrade. Once we calculate peak demand, we recommend a unit that provides at least 10 % headroom so you have true on-demand comfort year-round.
How long does installation take, and will my plumbing or gas lines need major changes?
A straightforward replacement of a gas tank heater located on an exterior wall can usually be completed in one business day. Projects that involve relocating the unit, upsizing gas piping, adding a condensate drain, or running new stainless-steel venting may take 1½–2 days. We handle all required Hamilton County permits, pressure testing, and final inspections. Your water will be off for only a short portion of the job, and our technicians protect floors and haul away the old tank at no extra charge.
What does a tankless installation cost in the Soddy-Daisy area, and are there rebates?
Installed pricing for a high-efficiency condensing gas unit typically ranges from $3,200 to $4,800, depending on capacity, venting distance, and any gas-line or electrical upgrades. Electric units run $750–$1,200 less but may require panel work that offsets the savings. TVA’s EnergyRight program and many local gas utilities currently offer rebates of $250–$400 for ENERGY STAR® qualified equipment, and homeowners can claim a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600) on qualifying high-efficiency models through 2032. We’ll complete all rebate paperwork for you.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To keep the heat exchanger free of mineral scale, manufacturers recommend a yearly flush with a mild vinegar solution or citric-acid cleaner—especially important in Soddy-Daisy, where our water hardness averages 6–8 grains per gallon. The process takes about one hour and can be done by a homeowner with our how-to kit or by our technicians during an annual plumbing inspection. We also clean the combustion chamber, inspect the condensate trap, and update firmware. Regular service preserves efficiency, prevents the "cold-water sandwich" effect, and keeps your warranty valid for up to 15 years.
