FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing a wall-mounted tankless water heater for my Decatur home?
Wall-mounted tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and avoid the standby heat loss of traditional tanks. They save valuable floor space, can cut energy use by 20–40 %, and typically last 18–20 years—about twice as long as a storage-tank heater. Because they mount on an exterior or interior wall, they also allow more flexible placement in tight Decatur homes where square footage is at a premium.
How long does a typical wall-mounted tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations in Decatur are completed in a single day—usually 4–8 hours. The exact time depends on factors like the distance to the gas/electrical supply, venting requirements, and whether we are relocating the unit. Converting from a tank to tankless usually adds 1–2 hours for line modifications and removal of the old heater.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service for a wall-mounted tankless unit?
Possibly. Gas-fired tankless units often require a ¾-inch gas line and higher BTU capacity than older tank heaters; electric models may need a dedicated 240-V circuit and higher amperage. Our technicians perform a site visit to measure existing gas pressure or electrical load. If an upgrade is required, we provide a detailed quote and coordinate all plumbing, electrical, and permitting work to keep the project turnkey.
Are permits required for tankless water heater installation in Decatur, and do you handle them?
Yes. The City of Decatur (and most surrounding counties) require plumbing permits—and in some cases mechanical or electrical permits—when installing a new water heater. We pull all necessary permits, schedule any required inspections, and ensure the installation meets Georgia Plumbing Code, manufacturer guidelines, and local energy-efficiency standards.
How do I maintain a wall-mounted tankless water heater after installation?
Tankless units need periodic descaling to remove mineral buildup—typically once a year in Decatur’s moderately hard water. We recommend a 45–60-minute flush with white vinegar or a manufacturer-approved solution, cleaning the inlet screen filter, and inspecting venting and gas connections. Our service plans include annual maintenance to preserve efficiency, keep your warranty valid, and extend the life of the unit.
What is the cost range for installing a wall-mounted tankless water heater in Decatur, and what factors influence the price?
Installed prices generally range from $2,800 to $4,800, which includes the heater, vent kit, labor, permit fees, and haul-away of the old tank. Larger whole-home units, long vent runs, gas line upsizing, or electrical upgrades can add to the total.
