FAQs
What is a tankless water heater and how does it work?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when a hot-water tap is opened. Cold water flows through a heat exchanger, where it is instantly warmed by either a gas burner or electric element, then delivered straight to your faucet or appliance. Because there is no storage tank constantly reheating water, standby energy losses are eliminated, resulting in higher efficiency, endless hot water, and a unit that typically lasts longer than a conventional tank heater.
Why should I choose Reliable Performance Plumbing for my tankless water heater installation in Georgetown?
Reliable Performance Plumbing is a locally owned, fully licensed, and insured contractor with specialized training in tankless technology. Our technicians size the unit to your household’s demand, pull all required permits with the City of Georgetown, upgrade gas or electrical service if needed, and register the manufacturer’s warranty on your behalf. We also offer upfront, flat-rate pricing, punctual arrival windows, and a workmanship guarantee, ensuring you get a hassle-free, code-compliant installation that maximizes system performance.
How long does a typical tankless installation take and will my utility lines need upgrading?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. After an on-site evaluation, we determine whether your gas line, venting, or electrical circuit can handle the higher BTU or amperage demand of a tankless unit. If upgrades are necessary, we handle the work at the same visit—adding larger-diameter gas piping, stainless-steel venting, or a dedicated electrical circuit as required by code—so everything is safe, efficient, and inspection-ready before we leave.
Will a tankless water heater supply enough hot water for my family?
Yes, when properly sized. We calculate the "flow rate" (gallons per minute) your household uses during peak demand—such as running two showers and the dishwasher at once—and match it to a heater that can handle that load at Georgetown’s average incoming water temperature. Because the unit heats continuously, you will not “run out” of hot water the way you can with a storage tank; however, using more fixtures than the unit’s rated flow will reduce temperature, so correct sizing is critical.
How much can I save on energy bills with a tankless system?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a properly installed gas tankless heater can be 24–34 % more efficient for homes that use up to 41 gallons of hot water daily, and 8–14 % more efficient for heavy-use households. In real dollars, Georgetown homeowners typically save $75–$150 per year on utility costs. Additional savings come from the unit’s longer lifespan (20+ years versus 10–15 for a tank) and reduced risk of catastrophic tank leaks that can lead to costly water damage.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater need and can Reliable Performance Plumbing handle it?
To keep your warranty valid and maintain peak efficiency, manufacturers recommend an annual service: descaling the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup, cleaning the inlet filter, and checking combustion settings. Georgetown’s moderately hard water makes this maintenance especially important. Reliable Performance Plumbing offers affordable maintenance plans that include the full flush, inspection, and any firmware updates. Regular service extends equipment life, keeps energy bills low, and ensures you always have dependable hot water on demand.
