FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in Washburn?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and eliminate the standby heat loss that occurs with storage tanks. In Washburn’s colder climate, this translates to energy savings of 20-40 %, lower utility bills, a smaller space footprint, and a life expectancy of 20+ years—about twice that of a conventional tank heater.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. Our technicians begin with a site assessment, upgrade gas or electrical lines if needed, mount the new unit, connect water, gas/electric, and venting, and then test system performance. Larger homes or complex retrofits may add a few hours, but rare jobs extend beyond a single day.
Are tankless water heaters energy-efficient in Washburn’s cold winters?
Yes. Modern tankless models automatically modulate burner or element output to match incoming water temperatures, so even when supply water is near-freezing, they still achieve 0.82–0.99 Energy Factor ratings. You’ll pay only for the hot water you actually use, which is particularly advantageous during long heating seasons.
How do I determine the right size (flow rate) tankless unit for my home?
Sizing is based on two factors: peak simultaneous hot-water demand (measured in gallons per minute, GPM) and required temperature rise (difference between incoming water and desired output). We calculate both during our free in-home consultation. For example, a typical three-bath home in Washburn may need a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a 6-8 GPM electric model, but we’ll tailor recommendations to your fixtures and lifestyle.
Does Reliable Performance Plumbing provide warranties and ongoing maintenance?
Absolutely. We register your unit for the full manufacturer’s parts and heat exchanger warranty (up to 15 years on many brands) and include our own one-year labor guarantee. Annual descaling/flush services, filter replacement, and performance checks are available through our affordable maintenance plan to keep your warranty valid and your system running efficiently.
What does a tankless water heater installation cost, and are rebates available in Washburn?
Installed prices generally range from $2,800 to $4,500 depending on fuel type, capacity, venting requirements, and any utility line upgrades. Many customers offset costs with manufacturer rebates and state utility incentives that can total $200–$450. We’ll identify all current programs, help with paperwork, and offer financing options with low monthly payments.
