FAQs
What are the main advantages of installing a tankless water heater in my Flintville home?
Tankless water heaters provide hot water on-demand, eliminating standby heat loss that occurs with traditional storage tanks. This can lower your energy bills by 20–40 %. They also take up much less space, have a life span of 20+ years when maintained properly, and deliver an unlimited supply of hot water—ideal for larger households or homes with high hot-water demand.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless unit I need?
Sizing is based on two factors: the total gallons per minute (GPM) you need during peak usage and the temperature rise required in Flintville. We calculate GPM by adding the flow rates of fixtures you expect to run simultaneously (e.g., shower 2.0 GPM + dishwasher 1.5 GPM = 3.5 GPM). The temperature rise is the difference between incoming groundwater temperature (about 55 °F in Flintville) and your desired hot-water temp (120 °F), so roughly 65 °F. We match these figures to a unit capable of delivering the needed GPM at that rise, ensuring you never run out of hot water.
Is a gas or electric tankless water heater better for my situation?
Gas models typically deliver higher flow rates and handle larger households more easily, but they require proper venting, a gas line sized to the unit, and annual maintenance. Electric units have no combustion, so venting isn’t necessary and installation is simpler, but they may need significant electrical upgrades (multiple 40- to 60-amp breakers). We assess your home’s infrastructure, hot-water demand, and utility costs to recommend the most cost-effective choice.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
A standard tankless installation in Flintville usually takes 6–8 hours. Our licensed plumbers will 1) remove the old tank, 2) upgrade gas or electrical service if necessary, 3) mount the tankless unit to an exterior or interior wall, 4) add condensate drainage for high-efficiency gas models, 5) install venting (for gas units) in compliance with Tennessee mechanical code, 6) connect water lines with isolation valves for future maintenance, and 7) test the system for leaks and proper operation. We handle local permitting and coordinate any required inspections.
How much does a tankless water heater installation cost in the Flintville area?
Total cost depends on unit size, fuel type, and any utility upgrades. On average, electric models range from $1,800–$3,000 installed, while gas models run $2,500–$4,500. If a larger gas line, venting through masonry, or a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade is needed, costs can increase. We provide a free in-home evaluation and a detailed, upfront quote, so there are no surprises.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require and how often?
To keep your warranty valid and extend the life of the unit, flush the heat exchanger annually to remove mineral scale—especially important with Flintville’s moderately hard water. Gas models also need an annual combustion check and venting inspection. We offer affordable service plans that include descaling, filter cleaning, and diagnostic checks to ensure optimal efficiency and to help you avoid unexpected breakdowns.
