FAQs

What advantages does a tankless water heater offer over a traditional storage tank in Altamont?

Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, so you eliminate standby heat loss from a storage tank. In Altamont’s moderate climate this can cut hot-water energy use by 25–40 %. You’ll also free up floor space, enjoy virtually endless hot water for back-to-back showers, and gain equipment that typically lasts 18–20 years—about twice as long as a standard tank.

How long does a professional tankless installation usually take?

Most single-family homes in Altamont can be converted in one working day. A straightforward gas-to-gas swap is often 4–6 hours. If we have to upsize the gas line, add a 240-V circuit, or reroute venting, the job can extend to 8–10 hours. You won’t be without water overnight; we keep the old heater online until the new unit is ready to fire up.

Will my existing gas or electrical service support a tankless unit?

Gas models need a ¾-inch gas line capable of 150–200 k Btu/h and Category III or IV stainless-steel venting. Electric models require 120–200 A service and dedicated 40–60 A breakers. During your free estimate we measure gas pressure, panel capacity, and vent paths to confirm compatibility or quote any upgrades needed to meet Utah’s state plumbing code.

What size tankless water heater do I need for my household?

Sizing is based on the maximum gallons-per-minute (GPM) you’ll use at one time and the temperature rise between Altamont’s 50 °F incoming water and your preferred 120 °F set point (≈70 °F rise). A family running two showers and a dishwasher simultaneously typically needs 8 GPM at 70 °F rise, so we’d recommend a 190–199 k Btu gas unit or a 27 kW electric model. Smaller households can use 5–6 GPM units.

How much does a tankless installation cost and are there rebates available in Altamont?

Installed prices run $3,200–$4,800 for gas and $2,600–$3,600 for electric, including labor, venting, and permits. Dominion Energy and Rocky Mountain Power both offer $300–$350 rebates for ENERGY STAR certified units. You may also claim a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act when you install a high-efficiency model in 2024.

What kind of maintenance do tankless water heaters require?

Once a year (twice if you have hard water above 10 grains per gallon) we suggest flushing the heat exchanger with a 50⁄50 white vinegar solution, cleaning the fan and intake filter, and checking combustion calibration. Our Altamont service team offers a low-cost annual plan that takes care of this and extends the heat exchanger warranty to 15 years.
