FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer over a traditional storage-tank heater?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water; they can deliver 2–5 gallons per minute continuously. Because they fire only when you open a tap, they typically cut standby energy losses by 25–40 %, lowering utility bills. With proper maintenance they last 18–20 years—roughly twice the life of a tank model—and their wall-mount design frees up floor space. Many models also qualify for energy-efficiency rebates available to Duff homeowners.
Will a tankless heater really give my Duff home “endless” hot showers?
Yes—provided the unit is sized correctly. A tankless heater keeps heating water as long as cold water flows through it, so there is no stored supply to deplete. The key is matching the unit’s flow-rate capacity (gallons per minute, GPM) to the total demand of simultaneous fixtures (showers, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.). During our in-home assessment we calculate your required peak GPM and install a single whole-house unit or multiple point-of-use units so you always have continuous hot water even on cold Duff winter mornings.
How do I choose the right tankless water heater size and fuel type?
Sizing starts with two numbers: your peak hot-water demand (total GPM for all fixtures that may run at once) and the temperature rise (the difference between Duff’s incoming water temperature—typically 50 °F—and your desired 120 °F output). We multiply these to select a model that can raise water 70 °F at the required flow rate. Gas-fired units handle higher GPM than electric units and are usually recommended for whole-house installs, while electric models work well for point-of-use applications or homes without natural gas. Our technicians provide a detailed load calculation and present the best options for performance and budget.
What is involved in the installation process and how long will it take?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day. We start by shutting off water, gas or electricity, and safely removing your old tank. Next we mount the new tankless unit on an exterior or interior wall, install stainless-steel or PVC venting (for gas models), upsize the gas line if needed, connect water lines with isolation valves for future maintenance, and add a condensate drain. Finally we commission the system, set temperature limits, and show you how to operate it. All work is done by licensed, insured Endless Hot Showers Plumbing professionals and complies with Duff building codes.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Compared with tank systems, maintenance is minimal but important for long-term efficiency. Once a year (or twice in areas with very hard water) we recommend a 45-minute flush with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale from the heat exchanger. During the same visit we clean the inlet filter, inspect the burner and venting, and update firmware on electronic controls. Regular service prevents scale-related damage, maintains peak efficiency, and keeps most manufacturers’ warranties valid.
Are there incentives or energy savings programs for Duff residents who install tankless heaters?
Yes. Missouri Gas Energy currently offers rebates up to $300 for ENERGY STAR® certified gas tankless models installed by a licensed contractor. Homeowners may also claim a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600) on qualifying high-efficiency units under the Inflation Reduction Act. Because tankless heaters cut energy use by 20–60 %, most Duff customers see payback in 3–5 years through lower utility bills alone. Our office will prepare all rebate paperwork and provide documentation for your tax professional.
