FAQs
What are the main advantages of choosing a tankless water heater for my Friendsville home?
Tankless units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss and cutting energy use by 25–40 %. They provide endless hot water, free up floor space, last about twice as long as storage-tank models (20+ years with proper care), and reduce the risk of leaks or tank ruptures. These benefits translate to lower utility bills, greater comfort, and a smaller environmental footprint for Friendsville homeowners.
How does a tankless water heater actually work compared with a conventional storage tank?
When you turn on a hot-water fixture, cold water flows through a heat exchanger inside the tankless unit. Powerful gas burners or electric elements ignite instantly, heating the water to the set temperature within seconds before it reaches your tap. Once you shut off the faucet, the burner or element stops. A standard tank, by contrast, heats 40–50 gallons of water and repeatedly cycles to keep that stored water hot, even when no one is using it.
What size or capacity tankless water heater do I need?
Sizing is based on flow rate (gallons per minute) and required temperature rise. First, we add up the flow rates of fixtures you might use simultaneously—for example, a shower (2.0 gpm) plus a dishwasher (1.5 gpm) equals 3.5 gpm. Next, we calculate the temperature rise by subtracting Friendsville’s average incoming water temperature (around 55 °F) from your desired hot-water temperature (typically 120 °F), giving a 65 °F rise. A properly sized unit would deliver at least 3.5 gpm at a 65 °F rise. Perfectly Heated Water Plumbing performs these calculations during your free estimate to ensure you get the right model.
How long does installation take, and what does the process involve?
Most residential installs are completed in one day. We begin by shutting off water, gas, and electricity, then remove the old tank. Next, we mount the compact tankless unit on a wall, run new water lines, upgrade gas piping (or electrical circuits for electric models) to meet the higher demand, and add a dedicated condensate drain and stainless-steel venting for gas units. After pressure and leak tests, we program the control panel, flush the system, and demonstrate operation. Your water is back on by late afternoon, and we haul away the old heater for recycling.
Are there rebates, incentives, or financing options available in Friendsville?
Yes. Many tankless models qualify for a 30 % federal energy-efficiency tax credit (up to $600). Local utility companies, such as TVA partners, often offer $200–$500 rebates for high-efficiency gas or electric units. Perfectly Heated Water Plumbing will provide the paperwork and model certification numbers you need to claim these savings, and we offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months on approved credit to help spread out the investment.
What maintenance is required to keep my tankless water heater performing optimally?
Annual maintenance is minimal but important. We recommend flushing the heat exchanger with a mild vinegar solution to remove mineral scale, cleaning the inlet screen filter, and inspecting the burner or heating elements. In harder-water areas around Friendsville, a scale-reduction filter or water softener can extend service intervals. Perfectly Heated Water Plumbing offers an affordable yearly service plan that covers all maintenance tasks, priority scheduling, and extended labor warranties.
