FAQs
How does a tankless water heater work, and why might it be a better choice than a traditional tank in Ten Mile?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when a hot-water tap is opened. Cold water flows through a heat exchanger—either gas-fired or electric—where it is warmed instantly. Because there is no storage tank, you avoid standby heat loss, enjoy an endless supply of hot water, and free up floor space. In Ten Mile’s mixed climate, the efficiency gains can translate into energy savings of 25–40 % compared with a standard tank, especially for households that don’t run multiple fixtures simultaneously for long periods.
What are the main benefits of having your expert team install a tankless water heater in Ten Mile specifically?
Our licensed plumbers know the local water quality, building codes, and utility rebates. Benefits include: • Lower utility bills: High-efficiency units can have energy factors (EF/UFE) above 0.94. • Longer service life: 20+ years versus 8–12 years for a tank. • Space savings: Wall-mounted units clear valuable floor space. • Cleaner water: No rust or sediment buildup common in storage tanks. • Potential rebates: TVA and local gas suppliers often offer incentives for ENERGY STAR® tankless systems installed by certified contractors in Ten Mile.
Will my existing gas line, venting, or electrical service support a tankless water heater?
Possibly, but not always. Gas models usually need a ¾-inch gas supply line and 120 V outlet, plus Category III or IV stainless-steel venting. Electric models may require 120–200 amp household service and dedicated breakers. During our free on-site evaluation, we measure gas pressure, examine panel capacity, and check venting paths to determine whether upgrades are necessary and provide a written quote before any work begins.
How long does installation take, and will I be without hot water?
A straightforward replacement of a tank with a same-fuel tankless unit typically takes 4-6 hours. If gas lines, venting, or electrical panels need upgrading, the job can extend to a full day. We schedule installations for early morning, so your hot water is usually restored by late afternoon. For major retrofits, we can set up a temporary portable heater so you’re never completely without hot water.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
Minimal but important: 1) Descale/flush the heat exchanger annually (or semi-annually if Ten Mile’s hard-water hardness exceeds 12 grains) using a vinegar or manufacturer-approved solution. 2) Clean inlet water and air filters every 6–12 months. 3) Inspect the venting, condensate drain, and relief valve. We offer a low-cost maintenance plan that covers these tasks, extends the heat exchanger warranty, and keeps the unit operating at peak efficiency.
How long will my new tankless unit last, what warranty is included, and do you offer financing?
Most name-brand tankless heaters we install carry a 15-year heat-exchanger warranty, 5-year parts warranty, and 1-year labor warranty. With proper maintenance, the unit can last 20 years or more. We partner with local credit unions and utility-bill on-bill financing programs to offer 0 %–6.9 % financing terms up to 60 months, making it easier to upgrade without a large upfront cost.
