FAQs
How will a tankless water heater help lower my energy bills in Fayetteville?
Traditional storage tanks keep 40–50 gallons of water hot 24/7, so you pay for constant standby heat loss. A tankless unit only fires up when you open a tap, eliminating that wasted energy. ENERGY STAR®-qualified gas models are typically 24–34 % more efficient than tanks and can cut water-heating costs by as much as 50 % in homes with high hot-water demand. Because Fayetteville’s incoming ground-water temperature is moderate (about 55–60 °F), the heater needs less fuel to reach your desired 120 °F, further reducing utility bills.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my Fayetteville home?
Sizing is based on two factors: the total flow rate of fixtures you might run at once and the required temperature rise. A two-bathroom home that could have one shower (2.0 GPM) and a dishwasher (1.5 GPM) on simultaneously needs roughly 3.5–4 GPM at a 60–65 °F rise. In Fayetteville, that typically translates to a 7–9 GPM gas unit or, if you prefer electric, multiple 5–6 GPM units in parallel. We’ll calculate your exact demand, consider future bathroom additions, and recommend the right model so you never run out of hot water.
Will a tankless water heater perform reliably during Fayetteville’s occasional winter freezes?
Yes. Modern units include built-in freeze-protection heaters that activate around 36 °F, and we insulate exterior piping, install drain-down valves, and keep vent runs short to minimize heat loss. Even in the rare single-digit cold snaps Fayetteville can see, a properly sized gas unit can deliver 5–6 GPM of 120 °F water. Regular flushing to remove scale (Fayetteville’s water is moderately hard) ensures the heat exchanger stays efficient year-round.
How long does installation take and will my existing plumbing need major changes?
Most replacements are completed in one day. We shut off water and gas/electric for 2–3 hours while we: 1) mount the compact heater, 2) upgrade to a ¾–1-inch gas line or, for electric models, install the required 240-V breakers, 3) run stainless-steel or PVC venting, and 4) add isolation valves for future maintenance. Because the unit hangs on the wall, you regain floor space and rarely need to reroute supply lines—only tie in to the current hot/cold manifold.
Are there rebates or financing options for energy-efficient water heaters in Fayetteville?
Yes. Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC) offers a $200 rebate for installing an ENERGY STAR natural-gas tankless heater. Piedmont Natural Gas customers can receive $150. The federal Inflation Reduction Act extends a 30 % tax credit (up to $600) on qualifying units through 2032. We also partner with lenders that provide 0 % or low-interest financing for up to 18 months. Our team will supply the documentation and submit the rebate paperwork on your behalf.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need compared to a traditional tank?
Instead of eventually rusting out like a storage tank, tankless heat exchangers only require an annual 45-minute flush with white vinegar or a descaling solution to remove mineral buildup. We also clean the inlet filter and inspect venting. Homeowners can do it themselves with the built-in service valves, or we offer a low-cost maintenance plan (about $100–$150 per year). With proper care, a tankless heater lasts 20 years or more—roughly double the lifespan of a conventional tank—saving you both energy and replacement costs.
