FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater in Corryton?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and don’t waste energy keeping a storage tank hot. They are typically 20–40 % more energy-efficient than traditional tanks, freeing up space because they mount on a wall, and can last 20+ years with proper maintenance—about twice the life of a tank model. Many Corryton homeowners also appreciate that tankless heaters qualify for federal tax credits and local utility rebates, lowering the overall cost of ownership.
How do your certified plumbers determine the correct size (flow rate and BTU rating) for my home?
We begin with a free in-home assessment, adding up the hot-water flow rates of fixtures you may use at the same time—such as a shower (2 gpm), kitchen sink (1.5 gpm), and washing machine (2 gpm). We also factor in Corryton’s incoming groundwater temperature (roughly 55–60 °F) to calculate the temperature rise the heater must achieve. Combining flow rate and temperature rise tells us the BTU output required. This sizing process ensures you get a unit that delivers enough hot water without overpaying for capacity you’ll never use.
What is the typical installed cost and are there rebates for Corryton residents?
A professionally installed whole-home gas tankless system in Corryton generally ranges from $3,200 to $4,800, depending on capacity, venting requirements, and any gas-line upgrades. Electric units cost slightly less but may require a panel upgrade. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) occasionally offers $200–$300 rebates, and federal tax credits of 30 % of the project cost—up to $600—are available for ENERGY STAR certified models. Our office handles all rebate paperwork to make sure you receive every dollar you’re eligible for.
How long does a tankless water heater installation take?
Most replacements of an existing tank heater are completed in one business day. We arrive with all permits and parts, disconnect and remove the old tank, upgrade venting or electrical/gas lines as needed, mount the new unit, and test every water and gas connection. More complex projects—such as relocating the heater or upsizing the gas meter—can extend the job to two days, but you will know the schedule in advance. We always leave the work area clean and haul away the old tank for recycling.
Do tankless water heaters require regular maintenance?
Yes, annual service is recommended to keep your warranty valid and ensure maximum efficiency. Our certified plumbers flush the heat exchanger with food-grade descaling solution to remove mineral buildup common in Corryton’s moderately hard water, clean the inlet filter, and check combustion settings. The visit takes about an hour and costs far less than a potential premature heat-exchanger failure. Enrolling in our maintenance plan also gives you priority scheduling and discounts on any future repairs.
Can you install a tankless unit in the same spot as my old tank heater?
In most cases, yes. A tankless heater’s compact size (about the size of a carry-on suitcase) means it can often be mounted on the wall where the tank once stood. We verify that the location meets code for clearance and combustion air, upgrade venting to stainless-steel concentric piping, and enlarge the gas line to ¾-inch if required. If the existing spot is unsuitable—common in tight closets—we will recommend nearby options such as the garage or an exterior wall, ensuring minimal disruption to your plumbing layout.
