FAQs
What are the main benefits of upgrading to a tankless water heater in Andersonville?
Tankless units heat water on demand instead of storing 40–50 gallons in a tank, which eliminates standby heat loss and can cut energy use by 20–40 %. You also enjoy an unlimited supply of hot water, a space-saving wall-mounted design, a life span that often exceeds 20 years (roughly double that of a tank model), and access to local utility rebates through Georgia Power or Atlanta Gas Light that can offset a portion of the installation cost.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation usually take?
For most single-family homes our certified technicians can complete the entire job—including removal of the old tank, mounting the new unit, making gas or electrical connections, venting, pressure testing, and start-up—in 4–8 hours. Projects involving gas-line upsizing, longer vent runs, or electrical panel upgrades may extend the timeline to a full day, but we will give you a precise schedule after the on-site evaluation.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service for a tankless unit?
Possibly. Gas tankless models typically require a ¾-inch gas line and a fuel supply of 120–199 k Btu/hr, higher than most tank heaters. Electric tankless units often need a 150–200 amp service panel with multiple 40- to 60-amp breakers. During our free consultation we measure existing supply lines, check panel capacity, and let you know if upsizing is necessary. Any required gas or electrical work is performed in-house and included in your written quote.
How do I determine the correct size (flow rate) for my household?
Sizing is based on simultaneous fixtures in use and the temperature rise between incoming cold water and your target hot-water setpoint. In Andersonville ground-water temperatures average about 58 °F. If you want 120 °F water, you need a 62 °F rise. We calculate your peak demand (e.g., two showers and a dishwasher = roughly 6–7 gpm) and match that to a unit rated to deliver that flow at a 62 °F rise. Our technicians perform this calculation for you and present at least two properly sized models.
Do I need permits or inspections for a tankless water heater install in Andersonville?
Yes. The City of Andersonville Building Department requires a mechanical permit for any water-heater replacement plus a plumbing/gas permit if fuel lines are altered. After installation, a city inspector verifies gas pressure, venting, electrical connections, and combustion air. We pull all permits, schedule inspections, and provide you with the final approval sticker for your records—no paperwork hassle on your end.
What maintenance is required and how often should it be done?
Manufacturers recommend an annual service that includes flushing the heat exchanger with food-grade vinegar to remove mineral scale, cleaning the inlet filter, checking vent seals, and confirming combustion settings. In areas with very hard water (grains >10) a flush every 6 months is ideal. Regular maintenance protects the heat exchanger, maintains energy efficiency, and keeps your warranty valid. We offer affordable maintenance plans and can set up automatic reminders so you never miss a service.
