FAQs
Is a tankless water heater a good fit for my Englewood home?
Tankless (on-demand) units are ideal for households that want endless hot water, lower energy bills, and to free up space. They work well in most Englewood single-family homes, condos, and townhomes as long as there is adequate gas or electrical service. We perform a site visit to check your incoming gas line size, venting options, water quality, and hot-water demand to confirm compatibility before recommending a model.
Do I need a permit to install a tankless water heater in Englewood?
Yes. The City of Englewood requires a plumbing/mechanical permit for any water-heater replacement, tankless included. We handle the entire permitting process, schedule the city inspection, and ensure the installation meets Colorado Plumbing Code, manufacturer specs, and local energy-efficiency ordinances.
How do you size a tankless water heater for my household?
We calculate the required flow rate (gallons per minute) and temperature rise. First we total the simultaneous fixtures you expect to run—e.g., shower (2.0 GPM) + kitchen sink (1.5 GPM) = 3.5 GPM. Then we measure your winter groundwater temperature (≈47 °F in Englewood) and determine how much it must be raised to reach 120 °F. Matching those two numbers to the manufacturer’s specs tells us the proper BTU input and model size, preventing lukewarm showers or overspending on an oversized unit.
How long does a typical tankless installation take, and will my water be off all day?
Most replacements are completed in one business day. We shut off water and gas/electric during the swap—usually 3–5 hours—then restore service after pressure and leak tests. Complex jobs that require upsizing the gas line or adding a 240-V circuit may extend into a second day, but we’ll let you know in advance and keep at least one bathroom operational whenever possible.
What routine maintenance does a tankless water heater need in Englewood’s water conditions?
Annual maintenance is recommended. We flush the heat exchanger with a mild vinegar solution to remove mineral scale common in Englewood’s moderately hard water, clean the inlet screen filter, inspect the condensate drain, and run a combustion analysis on gas models. Regular service preserves efficiency, prevents error codes, and keeps your warranty valid—most manufacturers require documented maintenance.
Are there rebates or incentives for installing a high-efficiency tankless unit in Englewood?
Yes. Xcel Energy currently offers rebates up to $400 for ENERGY STAR® qualified gas tankless models ≥0.87 UEF. Colorado also provides occasional tax credits, and federal tax credits of 30% up to $600 on qualifying units are available through 2032. We’ll complete the rebate paperwork and supply the AHRI certificate so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
