FAQs
What is a tankless water heater and how does it deliver endless hot water?
A tankless (or on-demand) water heater uses high-output gas burners or electric elements to heat water only when a hot-water tap is opened. Because there is no storage tank to deplete, the unit keeps heating incoming water for as long as the tap remains on, providing a virtually unlimited supply. Modern models activate within seconds and can deliver 2–9 gallons per minute (GPM), enough for one to three showers running at the same time in most Clinton homes.
Is a tankless system a good choice for the colder incoming water temperatures we experience in Clinton, MS?
Yes. Clinton’s municipal water averages about 60 °F in winter and 70 °F in summer, which is well within the operating range of today’s gas and electric tankless units. When sizing the appliance we account for the required temperature rise (to 120 °F) and the maximum GPM you expect to use at once. A licensed plumber will perform this calculation and recommend a model that can maintain set-point temperature even during peak winter demand.
How much does professional installation of a tankless water heater cost in Clinton?
Costs vary with fuel type, size, and any needed upgrades: • Equipment: $800–$1,400 for mid-efficiency gas, $1,200–$2,500 for high-efficiency condensing gas, and $700 –$1,500 for whole-house electric. • Labor & materials: $1,200–$2,000, depending on venting, gas-line upsizing, electrical work, and local permit fees ($35–$75 in Clinton). Total installed price typically falls between $2,000 and $4,500. High-efficiency models can reduce annual water-heating energy use by 20–40 %, so many homeowners see payback in 4–7 years.
What plumbing, gas, or electrical upgrades might be required before installation?
• Plumbing: We usually repipe the hot-water outlet with ¾″ copper or PEX to minimize pressure drop and install an isolation-valve kit for future maintenance. • Gas: Most condensing gas units need a ¾″ or 1″ supply line and up to 200 k Btu/h of capacity. We verify meter and regulator sizing with Atmos Energy. • Venting & Drainage: High-efficiency models use 2–3″ PVC for combustion air and exhaust, plus a condensate drain tied to your home’s DWV system. • Electrical: Gas units need a 120-V outlet; whole-house electric units often require two to four 40–60 A breakers in a 200-A service panel. A site visit lets us quote any required upgrades before work begins.
How does maintenance and lifespan compare with a traditional storage-tank heater?
Tankless heaters generally last 20–25 years—about twice as long as a standard tank—because the heat exchanger is stainless steel and is not exposed to standing water. Annual maintenance is simple: 1. Close the isolation valves and flush the heat exchanger with white vinegar or food-grade descaler for 30–45 min to remove mineral scale (especially important with Clinton’s moderately hard water at 7–8 gpg). 2. Clean the inlet screen and check the condensate trap (condensing models). 3. Inspect the vent and gas connections. A licensed plumber can perform the service or provide a how-to kit for homeowners comfortable with basic DIY tasks.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for switching to a tankless water heater in Clinton?
Yes. As of 2024: • Federal Tax Credit: Under the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (IRC 25C), qualifying gas condensing or heat-pump water heaters earn a 30 % credit up to $600. • Utility Rebates: Atmos Energy offers up to $350 for ENERGY STAR–certified gas tankless units; Entergy Mississippi offers up to $400 for qualifying electric units. • City/State Programs: The Mississippi Development Authority occasionally funds additional incentives—check the state’s Energy & Natural Resources website.
