FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater versus a conventional tank model?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and you avoid the standby heat loss that occurs with storage tanks. This translates into energy savings of 24–40 %, lower utility bills, and a product life span of 20+ years—nearly double that of a traditional tank. Tankless heaters are also wall-mounted, freeing up floor space, and many qualify for federal tax credits or local rebates available to Georgetown homeowners.
Is a tankless water heater a good choice for Georgetown’s water quality and climate?
Yes. Georgetown’s moderately hard water does require scale control, but our licensed plumbers install inline filters or automatic descaling systems that protect the heat exchanger. Central Texas’ mild winters mean incoming water is not extremely cold, so tankless units operate efficiently year-round. We also ensure the venting and freeze-protection settings meet local codes and climate conditions.
How long does installation take and will I be without hot water?
A standard replacement—removing the old tank, modifying gas or electrical lines, mounting the new unit, and testing—usually takes 4–8 hours. Your water will be off for part of that window, but most homeowners are without hot water for only 2–3 hours. We schedule installations to minimize disruption and haul away the old tank at no extra charge.
What size (flow-rate) tankless water heater do I need for my home?
Sizing is based on the maximum gallons per minute (GPM) of hot water your household uses at peak times. For example, running two showers and a dishwasher simultaneously may require 7–8 GPM. Our plumbers calculate GPM, temperature rise, and fuel type to recommend the right unit—often a 9–11 GPM natural-gas model for a 3–4-bath Georgetown home, or a whole-house electric unit backed by adequate amperage.
How much money can I expect to save on energy bills with a tankless system?
Savings depend on usage patterns and fuel costs, but ENERGY STAR® studies show Georgetown homeowners typically reduce water-heating expenses by $80–$120 per year with gas tankless models and $45–$60 with electric versions. Because the unit lasts up to twice as long as a tank, lifetime savings often exceed $1,000—not counting available 30 % federal tax credits (up to $600) and local utility incentives.
Do tankless water heaters require regular maintenance, and do you service what you install?
Annual maintenance is recommended: a descaling flush to remove mineral buildup, cleaning the air filter, and checking gas pressure or electrical connections. In areas with very hard water, twice-yearly flushing may be advisable. Our licensed plumbers provide full post-install service plans, handle manufacturer warranty work, and stock OEM parts so your system stays efficient and protected for its 20-year life expectancy.
