FAQs
How much does a tankless water heater installation typically cost in Athens with your transparent pricing?
Our transparent pricing model lists every cost upfront—no hidden fees. A standard tankless water heater installation in Athens generally ranges from $2,500 to $3,800. This includes the unit, labor, minor plumbing modifications, basic venting, and disposal of your old water heater. We provide a written estimate before any work begins, and the price will not change unless you approve additional options.
What factors could change the quoted price for my tankless water heater install?
The price can rise only if site conditions require extra work beyond a standard install. Examples include relocating the heater, upgrading the gas line for higher BTU demand, adding a condensate drain, extensive electrical upgrades, or unexpected code corrections. We document each potential add-on with photos, explain why it’s needed, and give you a revised line-item quote for approval before proceeding.
How long does a tankless water heater installation take from start to finish?
Most residential installations in Athens are completed within one day—typically 6–8 hours onsite. This covers removal of your old tank, mounting the new unit, plumbing and gas connections, venting, testing, and cleanup. If extensive gas line or electrical upgrades are required, we may need an additional half-day. You’ll receive a detailed timeline in advance so you can plan accordingly.
Do I need permits or inspections for a tankless water heater in Athens?
Yes. The City of Athens and Clarke County require permits for water heater replacements and gas work. Our licensed plumbers handle the entire permitting process, schedule inspections, and meet with the inspector on your behalf. Permit fees are included in our transparent price, and all work is performed to Georgia state plumbing and mechanical codes.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
Unlike traditional tanks, tankless units benefit from annual maintenance to keep efficiency high and prevent scale buildup. We recommend a yearly descaling flush, cleaning of inlet screens, and performance check. Our plumbing company offers maintenance plans starting at $149 per year, which include priority scheduling and discount pricing on any needed parts.
What warranties and guarantees do you offer on tankless water heater installs?
All tankless water heaters we install carry a manufacturer warranty—usually 12-year heat exchanger, 5-year parts, and 1-year labor. Additionally, our workmanship is guaranteed for 2 years. If a problem arises due to our installation within that period, we fix it at no charge. We also provide a 30-day satisfaction guarantee: if you’re not happy with the system’s performance, we’ll make adjustments or uninstall it and refund your labor costs.
