FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer homeowners in Clinton?
Tankless units heat water on demand, which means you never run out of hot water, even during long showers or back-to-back loads of laundry. Because they don’t keep 40–50 gallons of water hot all day, they’re 24–34 % more energy-efficient than storage tanks—an especially useful benefit when Connecticut fuel prices rise. Tankless models mount on a wall, freeing up floor space, and they typically last 20+ years (about twice as long as a conventional tank). Most modern units also include built-in freeze protection, an advantage in Clinton’s cold winters.
How long does a professional tankless installation take and what does it involve?
For a straightforward replacement, our licensed plumbers can remove your old tank, mount the new heater, run venting, connect gas/electric and water lines, and commission the system in 4–6 hours. More complex jobs—such as relocating the unit or upsizing gas piping—may stretch to a full day. We start with a pre-install visit to size the heater and check code requirements. On install day we shut off utilities, drain and dispose of the old tank, complete all new connections, flush the lines, test combustion or electrical draw, and walk you through the controls before cleaning the workspace.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical panel?
Possibly. Most gas-fired tankless units require a dedicated ¾″ gas line to deliver the higher BTU input (150,000–199,000 BTU). If your existing line is ½″, we’ll quote an upsizing run from the meter to the appliance. Electric tankless models demand 120–150 amps of dedicated power, so you may need a 200-amp service panel. During the site visit our technicians measure gas pressure or panel capacity and include any upgrades in your written estimate so there are no surprises.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bills?
Savings depend on household hot-water demand, but ENERGY STAR estimates families that use 41 gallons per day or less save about $80 per year, while heavy-use homes can save $100–$150 compared with a new storage tank. Gas rates in Middlesex County, local water temps, and the efficiency rating (up to 0.97 UEF) of the model you choose will affect actual results. Many customers see a 10–20 % drop in their water-heating line item after we install a properly sized tankless system.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need, and do you provide it?
Even though tankless units avoid standby heat loss, they still need annual service to stay efficient and keep the warranty valid. We recommend a professional flush with food-grade descaling solution to remove mineral buildup, along with a full diagnostic of gas pressure, flow sensors, ignition, and venting. Our Clinton service department offers an affordable maintenance plan that includes yearly reminders, priority scheduling, and parts discounts so you never have to remember to book the tune-up yourself.
Are rebates or permits required for installation in Clinton, CT?
Yes. Energize Connecticut currently offers up to a $250 instant rebate on qualifying ENERGY STAR tankless models, and you may claim a 30 % federal tax credit (capped at $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act. The Clinton Building Department requires a plumbing/mechanical permit and a post-installation inspection for gas or propane units. Our office handles all paperwork—permit applications, inspection scheduling, and rebate submission—so your project is fully code-compliant and you receive every available incentive.
