FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater in Thorn Hill compared with a conventional storage tank?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss from a 40–60 gal tank. That typically cuts water-heating energy use 20-40 %, frees up floor space, and provides an unlimited run time for showers, tubs, and appliances because there is no fixed-size reservoir to deplete. Modern condensing gas units can reach efficiencies of 95 %+ AFUE, and electric models can be paired with solar PV for near-net-zero operation. In Thorn Hill’s mixed climate, that translates into lower utility bills year-round and reliable hot water even during winter cold snaps.
How does Endless Hot Water Plumbing determine the correct size and model for my home?
We start by measuring your household’s peak hot-water demand—how many fixtures may run simultaneously (for example, two showers and a washing machine). We add up their flow rates (in gallons per minute / GPM) and factor in Thorn Hill’s incoming groundwater temperature, which averages about 55 °F. From that we calculate the temperature rise needed to reach your preferred 120 °F set-point. A typical 2–3 bathroom home here needs a gas unit rated 7–9 GPM or an electric model around 18–24 kW. We also verify gas line capacity, electrical panel amperage, and venting routes before recommending specific brands such as Rinnai, Navien, or Stiebel Eltron.
Will my existing gas or electrical service support a tankless unit, or will upgrades be necessary?
Most high-output gas tankless heaters require a ¾-in gas supply and up to 199,000 BTU/h. If your current water-heater line is ½-in or the meter is undersized, our technicians can up-size piping and coordinate with the utility for a meter upgrade if needed. Electric tankless models draw 60–120 A at 240 V; homes with 100-A service usually need a panel upgrade to 200 A. During the on-site estimate we test pressures, measure wire gauges, and provide a fixed quote for any required modifications so there are no surprises on installation day.
How long does installation take, and will I be without hot water during the process?
A straightforward replacement of a tank with a gas tankless unit typically takes 4–6 hours. More complex jobs involving gas pipe extensions, vent penetrations, or an electrical service/panel upgrade can run 1–2 days. We schedule work to minimize disruption: your water is shut off only during final tie-ins, usually 30–60 minutes. We always leave at least one restroom operational and, if the project spans multiple days, we can reinstall your old tank temporarily so you are never without hot water overnight.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Thorn Hill for installing a tankless water heater?
Yes. Residents served by TVA or local municipal utilities may qualify for energy-efficiency rebates of $100–$300 on ENERGY STAR certified gas units. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act cover 30 % of the installed cost, up to $600 for qualifying gas tankless heaters and up to $2,000 for electric heat-pump water heaters. Our office tracks current programs and supplies all paperwork, serial numbers, and efficiency ratings so you can claim every available dollar.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and can Endless Hot Water Plumbing handle it?
Annual service is recommended to keep the heat exchanger free of mineral scale, especially in Thorn Hill where water hardness averages 8–10 grains per gallon. We flush the unit with a mild vinegar solution, clean the inlet filter, inspect the burner or heating elements, update firmware, and verify combustion settings. The visit typically takes about one hour. Endless Hot Water Plumbing offers an affordable maintenance plan that includes this service, priority scheduling, and extended labor warranty coverage for as long as you are enrolled.
