FAQs
What is a tankless (on-demand) water heater and how does it work?
A tankless water heater is a compact appliance that heats water only when you open a hot-water tap. A high-efficiency gas burner or electric element senses flow, ignites instantly, and delivers a continuous stream of hot water within a few seconds. Because there is no storage tank, standby heat loss is virtually eliminated, giving you endless hot water whenever you need it and reducing energy use by 20-40 % compared with a conventional tank.
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless system in Sunbright?
• Endless hot water: Perfect for large families or back-to-back showers. • Lower utility bills: Our local utility rates mean typical homeowners save $75–$150 per year. • Space savings: Units are wall-mounted and free up to 16 sq ft of floor space. • Longer lifespan: 20+ years versus 8-12 for a tank. • Safer, cleaner water: No rusty storage tank. • Eco-friendly: Reduced CO₂ emissions and recyclable parts. • Optional remote monitoring, ideal for vacation homes in the Sunbright area.
Is my Sunbright home suitable for a tankless water heater?
Most homes are, but a quick site visit confirms it. We look at gas line size (¾" for most models), venting route, electrical outlet proximity, and water hardness. Sunbright’s municipal water averages 5–6 grains per gallon, which is acceptable for tankless units; well-water homes may need a scale filter. For electric units we verify panel capacity (typically 120–150 A). If upgrades are required, we provide clear, upfront pricing before work begins.
How long does installation take and will my water be shut off?
A standard replacement—removing a tank and installing a gas tankless unit in the same location—takes 4-6 hours. Complex installs that need new venting or gas upsizing can take a full day. Your water is off only during the tie-in phase, usually 1–2 hours. When we leave, your hot water is running, the work area is clean, and all old equipment is hauled away for recycling.
What maintenance does a tankless system require in our area?
To reach the full 20-year life span, flush the heat exchanger with white vinegar or a manufacturer-approved solution once a year. The process takes about 45 minutes and prevents mineral scale from Sunbright’s moderately hard water. We offer an affordable annual service plan that includes flushing, filter cleaning, combustion check, and software updates. Homeowners can also clean the inlet screen quarterly and check the vent for debris.
How much can I save and are there local rebates or tax incentives?
Energy savings depend on usage, but DOE studies show a family of four can cut water-heating costs by 25–35 %. With Sunbright’s average natural-gas rate, that’s $7–$12 per month. Electric tankless units save slightly less but still outperform tanks. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) occasionally offers $150 rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified gas models, and the federal 25C tax credit covers 30 % of the installed cost (up to $600) on qualifying units through 2032. We handle all paperwork so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
