FAQs
How does switching to a tankless water heater help lower my utility bills in Corryton?
Traditional tanks keep 40-50 gallons of water hot 24/7, so you pay to re-heat it every time the water cools. A tankless unit heats water only when a fixture opens, cutting standby heat loss entirely. In Corryton’s moderate climate, homeowners typically see natural-gas savings of 25–40 % and electric savings of 10–20 %, which can trim $120–$250 a year from the average energy bill.
What size tankless unit do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on two numbers: 1) peak flow rate (gallons per minute you’ll use at once) and 2) required temperature rise (difference between incoming groundwater—about 55 °F in Corryton—and desired hot water temperature). Most three-bathroom homes that might run two showers and a dishwasher simultaneously need 7–9 GPM gas units or 5–7 GPM electric units. We do a free in-home load calculation to recommend the exact model so you never run out of hot water.
How long does installation take, and will I lose hot water during the process?
A straightforward replacement of a gas tank with a gas tankless heater usually takes 4–6 hours. Electric models can be even faster if the panel already has enough capacity. You’ll be without hot water only while the old tank is disconnected and the new lines are tied in—typically 1–2 hours. We schedule installations at your convenience and restore water service before leaving the job.
Can a tankless water heater connect to my existing gas, electric, and plumbing lines?
In most Corryton homes the answer is yes, but some upgrades can improve performance. Gas models often need a larger ¾-inch gas line and Category III stainless-steel venting. Electric models may require a 200-amp service and dedicated breakers. Plumbing connections are standard ¾-inch copper or PEX. During your estimate we inspect these utilities and provide a fixed-price quote for any modifications so there are no surprises.
What routine maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Because tankless units lack a storage tank, they avoid rust and sediment issues, but the heat exchanger still needs descaling once a year in our moderately hard East Tennessee water. The flush takes about 45 minutes, uses white vinegar or food-grade descaler, and keeps efficiency high. We offer an affordable annual maintenance plan that also checks filters, gas pressure, and venting so your warranty stays intact.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for tankless installations in Corryton?
Yes. The federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (2023-2032) refunds 30 % of the installed cost of a qualified ENERGY STAR® tankless water heater, up to $600. Knoxville Utilities Board and many surrounding co-ops also offer $200–$400 bill credits for high-efficiency natural-gas replacements. We handle the paperwork and supply the AHRI certificate so you can claim every available rebate and lower your payback period to as little as three years.
