FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless water heater in my Evensville home?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, so they eliminate standby heat loss and can cut energy use by 24–34 % compared with conventional tanks. They also provide an endless supply of hot water, free up floor space, and typically last 18–20 years—about double the life of a storage tank. Because they use less fuel, they lower monthly utility bills and shrink your household’s carbon footprint.
How do I know whether a tankless system can handle my family’s hot-water demand?
We size the unit by calculating your peak flow rate (gallons per minute, or GPM) and desired output temperature. In most Evensville homes a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a 5–6 GPM electric unit covers two showers and a laundry load running at once. For larger families or homes with luxury fixtures, we can install multiple units in parallel or use dedicated point-of-use heaters. During our free in-home assessment we measure fixture flow rates, check incoming groundwater temperature (about 58 °F in Rhea County), and recommend the properly sized model so you never run out of hot water.
What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?
A standard retrofit usually takes one working day. We start by draining and removing your old tank, then mount the tankless unit on a wall—often in the same utility area to minimize pipe rerouting. We’ll upgrade venting (for gas models) to Category III/IV stainless-steel or PVC concentric venting, install a condensate drain, add an isolation-valve service kit, and set up the gas, propane, or electrical connections. Finally, we flush the lines, program the controller, test for leaks, and haul away your old heater. Complex installs that require a gas meter upsizing or new 240-V circuits may add an extra day.
Will I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service?
Possibly. High-efficiency gas tankless heaters need ¾-inch gas lines and a 120-V outlet, drawing 2–3 A for ignition and controls. If your existing supply is undersized, we’ll work with your utility to upsize the meter or run a new branch. Whole-home electric units require 100–150 A of dedicated capacity and two to four 40–60 A breakers; if your service panel is full, we’ll quote a sub-panel or service upgrade. We always evaluate these requirements during the estimate so you know the full project cost up front.
What kind of maintenance do tankless water heaters require in Evensville’s water conditions?
Rhea County’s municipal water averages 5–7 grains per gallon, which is considered moderately hard. Annual maintenance is simple: close the isolation valves, flush the heat exchanger with 2–3 gallons of white vinegar (or a food-grade descaler) for 45 minutes, clean the inlet screen, and check the condensate trap. We offer an affordable yearly service plan that keeps your warranty valid and maintains peak efficiency. If you use well water with higher mineral content, we may install a whole-house filter or softener and recommend flushing twice a year.
Are there rebates, incentives, or financing options for going tankless in Evensville?
Yes. Through 2032, the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (IRC 25C) covers 30 % of the equipment and installation cost, up to $600 for gas models and $2,000 for qualifying heat-pump water heaters. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) occasionally offers $50–$150 rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified units, and local gas utilities provide bill credits for fuel-switching from electric to gas. We also partner with Synchrony and GreenSky to offer zero-interest financing for 6 or 12 months, helping you spread the investment over time. Our staff will file all necessary paperwork so you receive every available incentive.
