FAQs
How does a tankless water heater maintain a consistent temperature?
Unlike storage‐tank units that repeatedly heat and cool a reservoir, a tankless water heater uses high-speed sensors and a modulating gas valve or electric element to heat water only when there is demand. As water flows through the heat exchanger, the onboard control board constantly measures the incoming water temperature, your setpoint, and the flow rate, then adjusts the burner or element output several times per second. This real-time modulation is what keeps the outlet temperature steady, even if someone opens a second tap or flushes a toilet elsewhere in the house.
What size tankless unit do I need for my Beersheba Springs home?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) peak hot-water demand, expressed in gallons per minute (GPM), and (2) the temperature rise required, which in Beersheba Springs averages 70–75 °F during winter. A typical three-bathroom household with simultaneous shower, dishwasher, and laundry use may need 7–9 GPM at that rise, which suggests a 180,000 BTU gas unit or a 27–36 kW electric model. A smaller cabin or weekend getaway might only require 4–6 GPM. During our in-home consultation we’ll calculate exact fixtures, flow rates, and winter groundwater temperatures to recommend the correct model so you never run out of hot water.
Are permits required for a tankless water-heater installation in Beersheba Springs or Grundy County?
Yes. Grundy County follows the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC) and National Fuel Gas Code (for gas units). A mechanical/plumbing permit is required for new installations, gas line extensions, or venting modifications. Our licensed plumbers handle the entire permitting process, schedule the county inspection, and provide you with the final approval paperwork for your records, ensuring code compliance and warranty protection.
Can a tankless heater be retrofitted into my existing plumbing system?
In most homes the answer is yes. We mount the unit on an interior or exterior wall, reroute the cold-water inlet and hot-water outlet to the new location, and run a Category IV stainless or PVC vent through the roof or sidewall (gas models). For electric units we verify panel capacity—most require 120–150 amps of dedicated breakers—and upgrade wiring if needed. If you want instant hot water at distant fixtures, we can add a recirculation loop or pump during the retrofit to eliminate wait times.
What routine maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To preserve efficiency and the manufacturer’s 12-year heat‐exchanger warranty, flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar or citric-acid solution once a year (twice if you have hard water over 10 grains) to remove scale. Clean the inlet filter quarterly, check the condensate drain line, and verify vent clearances. Our Comfort Club maintenance program includes an annual flush, full diagnostic check, and software update so you don’t have to lift a finger.
Will switching to a tankless water heater lower my energy bills?
Most Beersheba Springs homeowners see 20–40 % lower utility costs. Storage tanks lose heat through their walls 24/7 (called standby loss). A tankless unit eliminates that loss, so you only pay to heat water when you actually use it. Gas savings are greatest for households that travel or have varying hot-water demand, while electric models can reduce overall kWh usage and qualify for TVA rebates. Over a 12-year lifespan, those savings often offset the higher upfront cost.
