FAQs
What makes a tankless water heater an eco-friendly choice for Bristol homes?
Unlike traditional cylinders that keep 75–100 L of water hot all day, a tankless unit heats water only when you open a tap. This on-demand operation cuts standby heat losses by up to 40 %, lowers natural-gas or electricity consumption, and reduces your home’s overall carbon footprint. In addition, our preferred models are 94 %+ efficient and are certified for low-NOx emissions, helping Bristol meet its Clean Air and Climate Emergency goals.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills after switching to tankless?
Savings vary with household size and usage patterns, but most Bristol customers see 20–45 % lower water-heating costs compared with a vented cylinder or combi boiler set to keep hot water on constant. Ofgem estimates the average UK family spends £550 a year on water heating; a high-efficiency tankless unit can typically trim £110–£250 off that figure. You’ll also free up airing-cupboard space previously taken by a tank—often valued at £1,000+ per square metre in Bristol property listings.
Is my property suitable for a tankless water heater installation?
Nearly every Bristol property can accommodate a tankless system, but we confirm suitability during a free site survey. Key checkpoints include (1) incoming gas supply size (≥22 mm for larger flow-rate models), (2) mains water pressure of at least 1.5 bar, (3) available wall space for a unit roughly 40 cm × 65 cm, and (4) a route for horizontal or vertical flue termination in line with Part J of UK Building Regulations. Flats and heritage homes can usually be served by a condensing electric model if gas upgrades are impractical.
How long does installation take and will I be without water?
Standard replacement of a vented cylinder with a gas condensing tankless unit takes one working day (8 am–4 pm). Water is typically off for 2–3 hours while we disconnect the old tank and tie into existing pipework. If pipe sizing or flue routing needs modification, we may schedule a second half-day visit. We always leave at least one cold tap operative, and we coordinate with Bristol Water to minimise disruption in multi-unit buildings.
What maintenance is required to keep a tankless heater running efficiently?
Annual servicing is recommended. Our Eco-Friendly Performance Plumbing plan includes: (1) descaling the heat exchanger to remove Bristol’s medium-hard limescale, (2) cleaning the combustion chamber, (3) checking gas pressure and CO₂ levels, and (4) software diagnostics/firmware updates. A typical service takes 45 minutes and costs about the same as a boiler tune-up. With proper maintenance, leading brands warrant the heat exchanger for 10–15 years—double the life expectancy of most cylinders.
Do you offer warranties or financing for eco-friendly tankless installations?
Yes. All installs come with a manufacturer’s parts warranty of 10 years on the heat exchanger and 5 years on other components, plus a 2-year labour warranty from Eco-Friendly Performance Plumbing. We’re registered with the Green Deal and can arrange 0 % APR financing over 12 months or low-interest plans up to 7 years. Qualifying Bristol households may also receive £300–£500 through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme when replacing an older G-rated appliance.
