FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater over a traditional storage tank in Blountville?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, eliminating standby heat loss that occurs with storage tanks. This can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, lower monthly utility bills, and provide an endless supply of hot water. They also take up less space and generally last longer (20+ years) than conventional tank models.
How much can I expect to save on energy costs with a tankless water heater?
Savings vary by household size and usage habits, but most Blountville homeowners see annual savings of $80–$150 compared to a standard tank. Because the unit only heats water when you need it, you’re not paying to keep 40–50 gallons hot all day.
What size tankless unit do I need for my home?
Sizing depends on your home’s peak hot-water demand, usually measured in gallons per minute (GPM). We calculate the flow rate of fixtures you expect to use simultaneously (e.g., shower + dishwasher). Most homes in the Blountville area need a unit rated between 6–9 GPM. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation during an on-site assessment to recommend the right model.
Will a tankless water heater work with my existing plumbing and gas lines?
Often yes, but some installations require gas line upsizing or venting upgrades to meet manufacturer and local code requirements. During our free consultation, we inspect your current setup, determine whether modifications are needed, and provide a clear, itemized estimate before any work begins.
How long does installation take, and will I be without hot water?
A typical tankless installation in Blountville takes 4–6 hours. We schedule the replacement so you’re without hot water for only a brief window—usually less than half a day. If major piping or venting changes are required, we’ll let you know in advance and minimize downtime.
What maintenance does a tankless unit require?
Tankless heaters need annual servicing to remove mineral scale, especially with Blountville’s moderately hard water. Our maintenance visit includes flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution, inspecting the burner, checking the venting, and updating firmware (if applicable). Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high and protects your warranty.
