FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer over a traditional storage-tank model?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so they eliminate standby heat loss and can cut energy use by 25–40 %. They are roughly the size of a suitcase, freeing up floor space, and their average life span (20+ years) is nearly double that of tank heaters. Because water isn’t stored, there is also virtually no risk of tank corrosion or catastrophic leaks.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation usually take in Speedwell?
Most residential installations are completed in one business day. Our crew begins with a site assessment and permitting check, removes the old tank, upgrades gas or electrical lines if needed, mounts and vents the new unit, and tests it for code compliance. Larger homes or units that require a new vent route may add a few extra hours, but same-day hot water is the norm.
Will a single tankless unit provide enough hot water for my whole household?
Yes—if it’s properly sized. Tankless heaters are rated by flow rate (gallons per minute) rather than storage capacity. We calculate the simultaneous demand of your fixtures (showers, dishwasher, laundry, etc.) and select a unit that meets or exceeds that peak GPM at Speedwell’s average incoming water temperature (around 55 °F). For very large homes, we can install parallel units or point-of-use boosters.
What factors determine the right tankless water heater size for my home?
Key factors include the number of bathrooms, appliances that use hot water, peak usage (e.g., two showers plus laundry), incoming water temperature, and desired output temperature (usually 120 °F). During your free in-home estimate, we measure GPM requirements and recommend a model—with flow rates from 6 GPM for small households up to 11 GPM for larger families—ensuring uninterrupted hot water.
Are there any rebates or incentives available in Speedwell for installing a high-efficiency tankless water heater?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) customers may qualify for $200–$400 energy-efficiency rebates on ENERGY STAR® certified gas units. Federal tax credits of up to 30 % of project cost (capped at $600) are available through 2032. Some local gas utilities also offer bill credits for upgrading to a 0.90+ UEF unit. We handle the paperwork and provide all model documentation to help you claim these savings.
What routine maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Unlike tanks that need annual anode-rod checks, tankless systems primarily need descaling to remove mineral buildup. In Speedwell’s moderately hard water, we recommend a professional flush once a year (or every six months if hardness exceeds 10 grains per gallon). The process takes about 45 minutes, keeps the heat exchanger efficient, and preserves your warranty. We also inspect venting and clean the inlet filter during each service visit.
