FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater in Bristol?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when it’s needed, which can cut energy use by 25–40 % compared with a storage tank. Because there’s no storage tank, you also free up floor space and eliminate the risk of a catastrophic tank leak. In addition, tankless units typically last 18–20 years—about twice as long as a conventional heater—providing long-term value for Bristol homeowners.
How much does a professional tankless water-heater installation by Instant Comfort Plumbing typically cost?
Installed prices in the greater Bristol area usually range from £2,100–£3,500 (or $2,600–$4,200) depending on gas vs. electric, required venting, and any upgrades to gas supply or electrical service. Our technicians provide a fixed, upfront quote after an on-site assessment, so you know your exact investment before work begins.
Can a tankless unit be connected to my existing plumbing and gas/electric lines?
In most cases, yes. We evaluate pipe size, gas meter capacity and electrical load during our free consultation. Minor upgrades—such as upsizing a gas line or adding a dedicated 240-V circuit—may be required to ensure the heater can deliver its rated flow rate. All modifications are performed by our licensed tradespeople and fully comply with Bristol Building Regulations and local utility requirements.
How long does the installation process take from start to finish?
A straightforward replacement of a gas storage tank with a gas tankless unit typically takes one working day (6–8 hours). More complex jobs that involve rerouting venting, relocating the heater or upgrading utilities may extend to two days. We schedule installations to minimise disruption and restore hot-water service the same day whenever possible.
What maintenance will my new tankless water heater require?
To keep performance high and protect the heat exchanger from limescale, we recommend a yearly service that includes flushing the unit with a mild descaling solution, cleaning the inlet filter and checking combustion settings. Instant Comfort Plumbing offers affordable maintenance plans and reminders so you don’t have to worry about forgetting this simple but important task.
Does Instant Comfort Plumbing handle permits, inspections and warranties?
Absolutely. We file all necessary permits with Bristol City Council (or the relevant county office), coordinate inspections, register the appliance with the manufacturer and provide you with the completed Benchmark logbook. Most models come with a 12-year heat-exchanger warranty and up to 5 years on parts; labour is covered by our two-year workmanship guarantee for your total peace of mind.
