FAQs
What are the main advantages of installing a tankless water heater in Walland compared with a conventional tank unit?
Tankless models heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water even during long showers or back-to-back loads of laundry. Because they do not keep 40–50 gallons of water hot all day, they use 20–40 % less energy, which can trim your monthly utility bill. A wall-mounted tankless unit also frees up several square feet of floor space and typically lasts 20+ years—almost twice the life expectancy of a storage tank. Modern units we install include built-in freeze protection, making them reliable in Walland’s winter lows, and advanced diagnostics that alert you to maintenance needs before they become problems.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater my Walland home needs?
Sizing is based on gallons per minute (GPM) of hot water you expect to use at one time and the required temperature rise (difference between incoming water—about 55 °F in Walland—and your desired 120 °F set-point). For example, a simultaneous shower (2.0 GPM) and dishwasher (1.5 GPM) requires at least 3.5 GPM at a 65 °F rise. Our technician performs a fixture count and usage audit, then recommends a correctly sized unit—or sometimes two smaller units in parallel for large households—so you get steady, comfortable hot water without overspending on capacity you don’t need.
What does a tankless water heater installation cost in Walland and what affects the price?
Installed prices generally run $2,600–$7,000. The heater itself ranges from roughly $1,100 for a mid-efficiency electric model to $3,000 for a high-efficiency condensing gas unit. Labor and materials add $1,500–$4,000 depending on factors such as: • whether we need to upgrade the gas line or electrical service, • venting type (non-condensing stainless vs. condensing PVC), • length of vent run through walls or roof, • water softener or scale-inhibiting kit, • permit fees set by Blount County, and • removal/disposal of the old tank. We provide a detailed, no-surprise quote after an on-site evaluation.
How long will installation take and will I be without hot water during the process?
A straightforward replacement normally takes 4–8 hours in a single day. More complex jobs that involve rerouting gas or exhaust lines can extend into a second day. You will be without hot water only while the old heater is disconnected and the new one is being tied in—usually 4–6 hours. We schedule installations at a time that minimizes disruption, and we test every fixture before leaving to ensure you are back online the same day.
What ongoing maintenance does a tankless water heater need, and can Advanced Technology Plumbing handle it?
Manufacturers recommend a professional flush and descaling once a year—or every six months if your home has hard well water—to remove mineral buildup and keep the heat exchanger efficient. The inline sediment filter should be cleaned periodically, and the vent and combustion chamber should be inspected for debris. Advanced Technology Plumbing offers an annual service plan starting at $119 that includes a full flush, safety inspection, software update (where applicable), and priority scheduling so your warranty remains intact and your unit performs at peak efficiency.
Are there any rebates or tax incentives for switching to a high-efficiency tankless system in Walland?
Yes. Most ENERGY STAR® gas tankless units qualify for a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act through 2032. Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program currently offers up to a $300 bill credit for qualifying installations, and some local utilities such as LCUB provide lower time-of-use rates for electric tankless heaters. Our office handles all paperwork, provides model numbers, serial numbers, and proof of installation, and submits the rebate forms so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to without the hassle.
