FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater over a traditional storage-tank unit?
Tankless units heat water on demand, giving you virtually endless hot water and eliminating standby heat loss from a stored tank. They are up to 40 % more energy-efficient, last 18–20 years (about twice as long as a tank model), mount on a wall to free up floor space, and qualify for federal tax credits as well as local utility rebates available in Strawberry Plains.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take in Strawberry Plains?
Most residential installations are completed the same day, usually within 4–8 hours. The exact time depends on factors such as relocating gas or water lines, venting requirements, electrical upgrades, and whether we are converting from propane to natural gas or vice-versa. Our team schedules a pre-installation visit so you know the precise timeline before work begins.
What size tankless unit do I need for my Strawberry Plains home?
Sizing is based on the total gallons-per-minute (GPM) of hot-water demand and the winter groundwater temperature in Strawberry Plains (about 50–55 °F). A three-bath home that often runs two showers and a dishwasher at once may need an 8-10 GPM gas unit, while a smaller household might be well served by a 6 GPM model. We perform a free load calculation to match the heater to your exact usage.
Do I need permits or inspections for a tankless water heater install here?
Yes. Knox County and the City of Strawberry Plains require mechanical and sometimes electrical permits for new water-heater installs, plus a gas-line pressure test when fuel lines are modified. We handle all permitting, coordinate any inspections, and provide documentation so your installation is fully code-compliant and covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
What does a tankless water heater cost to install, and will it really save me money?
Installed pricing for a whole-house gas tankless system in Strawberry Plains typically ranges from $3,200 to $4,800, depending on capacity, venting, and gas-line upgrades. Electric models run $2,500–$3,500. Because tankless units only heat water when you open a tap, homeowners usually see utility-bill savings of 20–40 %, paying back the investment in 5–7 years while adding value to the home.
What maintenance is required, and can you service my unit after installation?
Tankless heaters should be flushed with a vinegar solution once a year (twice if your water is very hard) to remove mineral scale, and the inlet filter should be cleaned every 6–12 months. Igniter and fan ports also need periodic inspection. We offer affordable annual maintenance plans, provide descaling, part replacement, and 24/7 emergency service throughout Strawberry Plains to keep your unit running efficiently for decades.
