FAQs
How does a tankless water heater deliver endless hot water?
Unlike traditional storage tanks that heat a finite amount of water and must re-heat once that reserve is depleted, a tankless heater senses when a hot-water tap opens and instantly activates a high-efficiency heat exchanger. Water is warmed as it flows through the unit, so you can shower, run the dishwasher and do laundry back-to-back without ever “running out.” When the tap closes the burner or elements shut off, eliminating standby heat loss and lowering energy costs.
Is a tankless system a good choice for homes in Sunbright?
Yes. Sunbright’s moderate winters mean incoming water temperatures aren’t as frigid as in northern climates, allowing most homes to achieve comfortable outlet temperatures without oversizing the unit. Our area’s municipal water is moderately hard, so we recommend installing a sediment pre-filter or a scale-inhibiting cartridge, both of which we can add during installation. All models we sell are tested and certified to meet Tennessee plumbing and energy codes.
How do I determine the right size (GPM rating) for my household?
Sizing is based on simultaneous demand, measured in gallons per minute (GPM). 1) Count the fixtures you may run at once—e.g., a shower (2.0 GPM), washing machine (2.5 GPM) and a sink (1.0 GPM) could total roughly 5.5 GPM. 2) Check the temperature rise needed: subtract the average incoming water temperature (about 55 °F in Sunbright winter, 65 °F in summer) from your desired 120 °F set-point. 3) Choose a unit whose flow rating at that temperature rise meets or exceeds your peak demand. Our technicians perform this calculation for you during an on-site assessment and present options that balance performance and budget.
What kind of energy savings can I expect compared with a storage-tank heater?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates typical savings of 24–34 % for homes that use 41 gallons or less of hot water daily, and 8–14 % for higher-use households. Because a tankless unit turns off when water isn’t flowing, you eliminate standby losses that account for up to 20 % of a tank heater’s bill. Sunbright residents on electric service can often save $80–$120 per year; gas customers see similar percentage savings depending on local rates. TVA occasionally offers rebates for qualifying ENERGY STAR® models—ask us for current incentives.
What is involved in the installation and how long will it take?
Most residential change-outs take 4–6 hours. Our licensed plumbers will: 1) obtain the required Morgan County plumbing permit; 2) disconnect and haul away your old tank (we recycle it); 3) mount the new unit on an exterior or interior wall; 4) upsize the gas line or install a 240-V circuit if needed; 5) run Category IV corrosion-resistant venting; 6) connect water lines with isolation valves for future maintenance; and 7) start and test the system. You’ll get a walkthrough on operation and a copy of the manufacturer warranty—normally 12 years on the heat exchanger.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need, and do you service units in Sunbright?
To keep efficiency high, flush the heat exchanger annually (every 6 months if your water is very hard). This involves circulating vinegar or a descaling solution through the unit for about 30 minutes, then rinsing. Clean the inlet screen filter quarterly and check the vent for obstructions. Endless Hot Water Plumbing offers affordable service plans in Sunbright that include the yearly flush, a full safety inspection and priority scheduling. Regular maintenance protects your warranty and can extend the life of the unit well beyond 20 years.
