FAQs
How does your upfront pricing for a tankless water-heater installation in Birchwood work?
Once our licensed technician evaluates your home’s gas, water, and venting lines, we provide a flat, written quote that covers equipment, labor, basic materials, haul-away of the old unit, and applicable taxes. The price you approve is the price you pay—there are no hidden trip fees, overtime charges, or surprise add-ons when the job is complete.
What factors can change the quoted price of a tankless unit before I approve it?
Before you sign, we review fuel type (natural gas, propane, or electric), required BTU or kW capacity, venting route, gas line sizing, water-line upgrades, and any code-mandated safety devices (isolation valves, expansion tank, condensate pump). If a larger gas line or longer vent run is needed, we show that cost on the quote so you can make an informed decision upfront.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Birchwood, and are they included in the price?
Yes. Birchwood and Hamilton County require a plumbing/mechanical permit and a final inspection for tankless replacements or first-time installs. Our team pulls the permit, schedules inspections, and meets the inspector when required. Permit fees and administrative time are already built into our upfront price, so you do not pay anything extra to the city or county.
How long will the installation take, and will I be without hot water?
A straightforward replacement of a tank-type heater with a tankless unit typically takes 4–6 hours. First-time installations or those needing gas-line and vent upgrades can run 6–9 hours. We do not remove your old heater until the new unit is mounted and piped, so hot-water downtime is usually limited to the final 1–2 hours of the project.
What are the key benefits of switching to a tankless water heater?
Tankless heaters provide endless hot water on demand, up to 40 % energy savings compared to standard storage tanks, a space-saving wall-mount design, longer life expectancy (20+ years when maintained), and lower risk of catastrophic leaks because there’s no large tank of stored water.
What maintenance or warranties should I expect after installation?
We register your unit for the manufacturer’s 12-year heat-exchanger, 5-year parts, and 1-year labor warranty. Annual maintenance—mainly a 45-minute descaling flush—keeps the heat exchanger free of mineral buildup and is required to preserve the warranty. Our Birchwood service plan offers discounted annual flushes, priority scheduling, and extended labor coverage.
