FAQs
How does a tankless water heater deliver endless hot water?
Unlike storage tanks that heat a finite volume of water, a tankless unit has high-output gas burners or electric elements that activate the moment a hot-water tap opens. Cold water passes through a heat exchanger and comes out hot within seconds, and the process continues as long as the tap is open. Because there is no tank to deplete, you never “run out” of hot water, making it ideal for households that use multiple fixtures at once or have large soaking tubs.
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless water heater in my Speedwell home?
• Endless hot water on demand for showers, laundry, and dishwashers • Up to 40% lower energy consumption compared with conventional tanks because water is only heated when needed • Space savings—the unit mounts on a wall and frees up floor area • Longer service life (20+ years versus 8–12 for a tank) • Reduced risk of leaks and catastrophic tank failures • Potential rebates from local utilities and the Tennessee Valley Authority for high-efficiency equipment
How long does a typical tankless installation take, and will my water be off during the process?
A standard swap from a tank to a gas tankless model usually takes 4–8 hours, including removal of the old tank, mounting the new unit, running venting, upgrading the gas line if required, and commissioning the system. Your water is only shut off for the final 1–2 hours while the plumbing connections are made. Endless Hot Water Plumbing schedules installations to minimize disruption and can provide temporary water bypass options if needed for larger projects.
Are tankless units really more energy-efficient, and will they lower my utility bills?
Yes. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates gas tankless heaters can be 24–34% more efficient for homes that use under 40 gallons of hot water daily and 8–14% more efficient for higher-demand homes. Because there is no standby heat loss, you’re not paying to keep 40–50 gallons hot 24/7. Most Speedwell homeowners see annual gas savings of $80–$150; electric models can save even more when paired with time-of-use plans. Precise savings depend on usage patterns and local energy rates.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need, and can Endless Hot Water Plumbing handle it?
To maintain peak efficiency, the heat exchanger should be flushed annually (or semi-annually in hard-water areas) to remove mineral scale. We perform this service with a food-grade descaling solution, inspect the burner assembly, clean the air intake filter, and verify temperature and pressure settings. The visit takes about an hour and is far less invasive than draining a tank heater. Endless Hot Water Plumbing offers affordable maintenance plans and emails you reminders so you never miss a service.
How do I know what size tankless unit I need for my household?
Sizing depends on two factors: 1) the maximum flow rate you’ll need at one time (gallons per minute), and 2) the temperature rise required, which in Speedwell is typically 70–75 °F from incoming groundwater to desired hot-water temperature. We add up the flow rates of simultaneous fixtures—e.g., a shower (2 GPM) + washing machine (2.5 GPM) + dishwasher (1 GPM) = 5.5 GPM. Then we select a unit whose rated output meets or exceeds that flow at the required temperature rise. During your free in-home consultation, our technician measures usage patterns, checks gas or electrical service capacity, and recommends the right model so you never experience a cold-water sandwich.
