FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in Evensville?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a faucet, so they eliminate the standby heat loss that storage-tank models suffer. In Evensville, that translates into energy savings of 25–40 %, lower utility bills, endless hot water for large families, and a space-saving wall-hung design. A properly sized unit installed by our licensed plumbers can last 20+ years—roughly double the lifespan of a conventional tank—while also qualifying your home for valuable efficiency rebates.
How long does a professional tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential replacements are completed in one working day. Our Evensville-based crew arrives with all permits in hand, disconnects and hauls away your old tank, upgrades gas and venting lines as required by the 2021 IRC and local code, mounts the new tankless unit, and tests every connection. Complex projects—such as relocating the heater, upsizing a gas meter, or adding hard-water pretreatment—can extend the job to two days, but we’ll give you a firm timeline before work begins.
What size (flow rate) tankless unit do I need for my Evensville home?
Sizing is based on simultaneous demand, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and the temperature rise between incoming cold water and your desired hot-water setpoint. In Evensville, groundwater averages 55 °F. To deliver 120 °F water (a 65 °F rise) to two showers (2.5 GPM each) and a dishwasher (1.5 GPM) running at once, you’d need roughly 6.5 GPM at a 65 °F rise—so we’d recommend a 7-8 GPM gas unit or a whole-home electric model with at least 27 kW. Our licensed plumbers perform a full fixture count and load calculation during the estimate to ensure you never run out of hot water.
Do tankless water heaters work well with the moderately hard water found in Evensville?
Yes, but scale management is crucial. Evensville’s municipal supply averages 7–10 grains per gallon, which can cause mineral buildup on the unit’s heat exchanger, lowering efficiency and voiding most warranties. We normally install a sediment filter plus either a scale-inhibiting cartridge or a compact water softener upstream of the heater. Annual descaling with food-grade vinegar (performed by the homeowner or our maintenance team) keeps your system running at peak performance.
Are there local rebates or incentives for installing a tankless system in Evensville?
Absolutely. Vectren/CenterPoint Energy currently offers Evensville residents a $250 rebate on ENERGY STAR®-qualified natural-gas tankless models with an EF ≥ 0.90. Electric customers may access TVA’s EnergyRight financing at 6.99 % for high-efficiency upgrades. Federal tax credits of 30 % (up to $600) are also available under the Inflation Reduction Act until 2032. As licensed plumbers, we provide all paperwork, model numbers, and proof of installation so you can claim every incentive hassle-free.
How often should my tankless water heater be serviced, and what maintenance does it require?
Plan on a professional tune-up once a year. Our Evensville service includes flushing the heat exchanger with a descaling solution, cleaning the inlet screen, checking the ignition system, verifying combustion settings with a digital analyzer, and updating firmware on smart units. Homeowners should also clean the exterior filter quarterly and keep the air intake area free of lint. Proper maintenance maintains efficiency, prevents error codes, and keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid for its full term.
