FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer for Estill Springs homeowners?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank. This typically lowers energy bills 20–40 %, provides an endless supply of hot water, frees up floor space, and can last 18–20 years—almost twice as long as a conventional tank. Because our climate in Estill Springs has moderate winter temperatures, a properly sized unit can perform efficiently year-round without additional equipment.
How long will a professional tankless water heater installation take?
Most standard change-outs—removing your old tank, upgrading gas or electrical lines as required by Tennessee code, mounting the new unit, venting, and commissioning—take 4–8 hours. If we must relocate the heater, run new vent penetrations, or upsize the gas meter, the job can extend to a full day. We schedule service windows to minimize disruption and provide same-day hot-water restoration in almost every case.
Are your plumbers background-checked and properly licensed?
Yes. Every technician we send to your home has passed a nationwide criminal background check and drug screening. Our plumbers also carry current Tennessee L.P. Gas and Plumbing licenses, are bonded and insured, and receive factory training from leading tankless manufacturers such as Rinnai, Navien, and Rheem. You can feel comfortable letting our team work inside your Estill Springs residence.
What size tankless unit do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on peak hot-water demand, expressed in gallons per minute (GPM). We add the flow rates of fixtures you might use simultaneously—e.g., 2.5 GPM shower + 1 GPM kitchen sink = 3.5 GPM—and then adjust for incoming groundwater temperature (about 55 °F in Estill Springs). A family of four usually needs a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a whole-home electric model with multiple elements. During the in-home estimate, we perform a load calculation and recommend the right capacity so you never run out of hot water.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
Tankless systems need far less maintenance than tank models but should still be flushed and descaled once a year to remove mineral buildup—especially important with the moderately hard water in Franklin County. We offer an affordable annual service plan that includes flushing, filter cleaning, vent inspection, and a full diagnostic check to keep your warranty valid and efficiency high.
Do you offer warranties, financing, or emergency service for tankless units?
Absolutely. Most manufacturers provide 15-year heat-exchanger and 5-year parts warranties; our labor warranty covers workmanship for one year. Flexible financing options with low monthly payments are available through our lending partners, subject to credit approval. If you ever experience a no-hot-water situation, our 24/7 emergency line ensures a background-checked technician can be dispatched to any address in Estill Springs within hours.
