FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater for my storage space in Apison?
Tankless units heat water on demand instead of maintaining a large tank of hot water. This saves valuable floor area—perfect for storage spaces—while lowering standby energy losses. In Apison’s climate, homeowners can expect energy savings of 20–40 % compared to a standard tank, plus a virtually endless supply of hot water for showers, laundry, or utility sinks
What size tankless water heater do I need for my home or business?
Proper sizing is based on two factors: peak flow rate (gallons per minute) and incoming water temperature. In Apison, winter groundwater temperatures average roughly 55 °F, so a typical household needing two simultaneous fixtures (e.g., shower and dishwasher) may require a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a 5–7 GPM electric unit. Our technicians perform a detailed demand calculation to recommend the right model, ensuring you never run out of hot water
How long does installation take, and will my existing plumbing need modifications?
A straightforward replacement of a tank heater with a gas tankless model usually takes 4–6 hours. Additional time may be required for upgrading gas lines, installing Category III/IV venting, or adding a dedicated 240-V circuit for electric models. We inspect your storage space’s plumbing, electrical, and venting layout beforehand, provide a firm timeline, and handle all code-compliant modifications
Are permits required for tankless water heater installation in Apison?
Yes. Hamilton County and the State of Tennessee require plumbing and, for gas units, mechanical permits. Our licensed plumbers secure the necessary permits, schedule inspections, and ensure the installation meets the 2021 International Plumbing & Gas Codes adopted locally. This protects your investment and maintains warranty validity
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need?
While tankless units last 20+ years, they perform best with annual service. We flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar or descaling solution to remove mineral buildup, inspect the burners, clean the inlet screen filter, and test safety controls. For Apison’s moderately hard water (around 100 ppm), this yearly maintenance prevents efficiency loss and extends the warranty
How much can I expect to save, and are there rebates?
Switching from a standard electric tank to a high-efficiency gas tankless model can cut water-heating costs by $80–$120 per year in Apison. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers rebates of $50–$200, and many manufacturers provide extended warranties when installed by a certified pro. We’ll guide you through rebate paperwork to maximize your return on investment
