FAQs
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take in Strawberry Plains?
Most residential installations are completed in one day—about 4–6 hours for a straightforward replacement and up to 8 hours if new gas-line sizing, venting, or electrical work is required. Our team schedules a free pre-job site visit so we arrive with everything needed to stay within that timeline.
Do I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service for a new tankless unit?
Possibly. Gas models often require a ¾-inch gas line and a higher BTU capacity than a standard tank heater, while electric units can draw 120–150 amps on dedicated breakers. During our in-home assessment we test line pressure, measure panel capacity, and let you know exactly what, if anything, must be upgraded to meet Tennessee code and the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.
Will a tankless water heater really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Because tankless systems heat water only when you open a tap, ENERGY STAR® studies show 24–34 % lower energy use compared with conventional 40–50 gal tanks. In Strawberry Plains, that usually translates to $75–$150 per year in utility savings, depending on family size and hot-water habits.
Are permits required for a tankless water heater install in Strawberry Plains?
Knox County and Jefferson County (which serve parts of Strawberry Plains) both require mechanical and, for gas units, plumbing/gas permits. We handle the application, schedule the inspection, and include permit fees in your written estimate so there are no surprises.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater need after installation?
Annual flushing with food-grade vinegar (or a manufacturer-approved descaling solution) is recommended to prevent mineral buildup. We also inspect the combustion chamber, clean the inlet screen, and verify error-code history. Maintenance plans are available starting at $99 per year, which keeps your warranty valid and maximizes efficiency.
What warranty do you provide with your installation services?
We register your unit for the full manufacturer warranty—typically 10–15 years on the heat exchanger and 5 years on parts. Our workmanship is covered by a 2-year labor warranty, meaning if any installation-related issue arises within that period, we return and fix it at no cost to you.
