FAQs
How does a tankless water heater give my family “endless” hot water?
A tankless unit contains a powerful heat exchanger that only turns on when a hot-water tap is opened. Cold water travels through the exchanger, is heated instantly, and flows straight to the fixture. Because there is no storage tank to empty, the system keeps heating incoming water for as long as the tap remains open, so you never “run out.” The key is choosing a unit with a flow-rate (gallons per minute) high enough to match all the fixtures you might use at once.
Is a tankless system a good choice for homes in Tullahoma’s climate and water quality?
Yes. Tullahoma’s mild winters mean the incoming water temperature is moderate, so the heater doesn’t need to work as hard to reach your desired 120 °F set-point. Local water is moderately hard, which simply means we recommend an annual descaling flush to keep the heat exchanger free of mineral build-up. Natural gas is widely available in Coffee and Franklin counties; if you’re on propane or electric, we install appropriately sized models for those fuels as well.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my Tullahoma home?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) the maximum number of fixtures you might run simultaneously, and 2) the temperature rise between incoming water and your set-point. For example, running two showers and a washing machine at once could require 8–10 GPM at a 60 °F rise. During our free in-home estimate we calculate your exact peak demand, check the gas or electric service, and recommend a properly sized unit so you always have enough hot water without overspending on capacity.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills by switching to tankless?
Because tankless heaters avoid the standby losses of a 40– or 50-gallon tank, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates savings of 24–34 % for homes that use up to 41 gallons of hot water per day and 8–14 % for heavier usage. In dollar terms, many Tullahoma homeowners see $80–$150 off their annual gas bill. You may also qualify for the current 25C federal tax credit (up to $600) and TVA or Duck River EMC rebates, which shorten the payback period to roughly 5–7 years.
What is involved in a professional tankless installation and how long does it take?
On installation day we start by shutting off water, gas, and power, then drain and remove your old tank. The new unit is wall-mounted, vented through high-efficiency stainless or PVC piping, and connected to an upsized gas line or dedicated 240-V circuit if required. We add a condensate drain, isolation valves, and a flush port for easy maintenance. Most standard change-outs are completed in 4–8 hours, and you’ll be back to hot showers the same evening. All work is permitted and inspected to meet Tennessee code.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need, and do you service units in Tullahoma?
Tankless systems are low-maintenance but not maintenance-free. Manufacturers recommend flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar or citric-acid solution once a year (twice in hard-water areas) to dissolve scale, cleaning the inlet filter, and checking the vent and condensate line. These steps keep efficiency high and protect your warranty. Endless Hot Water Plumbing offers an affordable annual service plan for Tullahoma residents that includes the full flush, safety inspection, and priority repair scheduling.
