FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater instead of a traditional storage tank in Ten Mile?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, eliminating the standby heat loss associated with a storage tank. For Ten Mile homeowners, this means lower monthly energy bills—often 20-40 % less than a standard tank—and an endless supply of hot water during back-to-back showers. Tankless units also take up far less space, have a life expectancy of 20+ years (versus 8-12 for a tank), and qualify for state and federal efficiency rebates that can offset the upfront cost.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations in Ten Mile are completed in one business day (4-8 hours). The exact timeline depends on factors such as relocating the unit, venting requirements, and whether gas or electrical service upgrades are needed. Our technicians start with a pre-installation inspection, secure any required local permits, and arrive on install day with all necessary parts so your hot water is back online before dinner.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my Ten Mile home?
Sizing is based on two numbers: 1) peak flow rate (gallons per minute) of all fixtures you expect to run simultaneously, and 2) the temperature rise required, which in Ten Mile is typically 70-75 °F from our average groundwater temperature (~55 °F). A family of four that runs two showers and a dishwasher at once generally requires a 9-11 GPM gas unit or a whole-home electric model with at least 27 kW. We offer a free on-site assessment to calculate your exact demand before recommending a model.
Are tankless water heaters really more energy-efficient, and how much could I save?
Yes. ENERGY STAR®-rated tankless gas units operate at 0.82-0.97 UEF (Uniform Energy Factor), compared with 0.60-0.67 for conventional tanks. For a typical Ten Mile household using 60-70 gallons of hot water daily, this equates to annual savings of $100-$150 on natural gas or $80-$120 on electricity. Over a 20-year lifespan, that’s $2,000-$3,000 in utility savings—plus you avoid the cost of replacing a failed tank every decade.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical panel to install a tankless unit?
Possibly. High-output gas tankless models often require a ¾-inch gas line and Category III or IV venting. If your current line is ½-inch, we’ll quote a safe, code-compliant upgrade. Electric tankless units may need two to three 40-50 A breakers and 6-gauge wiring; homes with 100 A service may need a panel upgrade to 200 A. During our free estimate, we inspect your utilities, explain any required changes, and include them in a transparent, upfront price.
How often should a tankless water heater be serviced, and what does maintenance involve?
In Ten Mile’s moderately hard water (5-7 grains per gallon), we recommend a professional annual service. This includes flushing the heat exchanger with food-grade descaler, cleaning the inlet filter, inspecting the burner or heating elements, and checking venting and gas pressures. Regular maintenance prevents scale buildup, maintains efficiency, keeps your warranty valid, and can extend the life of the unit well beyond 20 years.
