FAQs
How does a tankless water heater provide “endless” hot showers?
Unlike traditional tanks that store a finite amount of hot water, a tankless unit heats water on demand as it flows through high-efficiency heat exchangers. When you open a tap, cold water passes over the burner or electric element and is delivered to your shower at a preset temperature—continuously. As long as gas, electricity, and water are available, you’ll never “run out” the way you can with a 40- or 50-gallon tank.
Is a tankless system suitable for Fayetteville’s climate and water quality?
Yes. Fayetteville’s mild winters mean incoming groundwater is not extremely cold, so a properly sized tankless unit can achieve high flow rates without over-taxing the burner. Our area’s municipal water is moderately hard, so we recommend installing a scale-inhibiting filter and scheduling annual descaling to maintain efficiency and warranty coverage.
What size (GPM) tankless water heater do I need for my home?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) the total flow rate of fixtures you might run simultaneously—e.g., a shower (2.0 GPM) plus a dishwasher (1.5 GPM) would require 3.5 GPM—and (2) the temperature rise needed (difference between incoming water and desired set point). In Fayetteville, incoming water averages 60 °F; most homeowners want 120 °F output, so a 60 °F rise is typical. A family of four that may run two showers at once often chooses a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a whole-home electric model with at least 24 kW. We perform a free in-home assessment to ensure the unit is correctly matched to your usage.
What does installation involve and how long does it take?
A standard retrofit usually takes one working day. We disconnect and remove the old tank, mount the new tankless unit on a wall (often freeing up floor space), install stainless-steel venting (for gas models), upsize the gas line if necessary, add an isolation valve kit for future maintenance, and run condensate drainage. Electrical upgrades or relocating the unit may add time. All work is done to Fayetteville building codes, and we handle permits and inspections so you don’t have to.
How much can I save on energy bills with a tankless water heater?
Because tankless units don’t keep 40+ gallons hot 24/7, the Department of Energy reports they’re 24–34 % more efficient for households using under 41 gallons per day, and 8–15 % more efficient for heavier usage. In Fayetteville, where natural-gas rates average about $1.30 per therm, typical homeowners save $80–$120 a year. Over a 20-year service life, that can offset much of the upfront cost while reducing CO₂ emissions.
What maintenance and warranty coverage should I expect?
Most leading brands offer 12- to 15-year heat-exchanger warranties and 5-year parts warranties when installed by a licensed contractor. To keep coverage valid, manufacturers require annual maintenance: flushing with vinegar or a descaling solution to remove mineral buildup, cleaning the inlet filter, and checking venting and gas pressures.
