FAQs
What makes a tankless water heater ideal for compact spaces in Grandview?
Tankless units heat water on demand and have no storage tank, so they mount neatly on a wall and can free up several square feet otherwise taken by a bulky tank. In Grandview, where many homes have limited mechanical-room space, this compact footprint lets you reclaim closet, basement, or garage areas for storage or other equipment.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater my home needs?
Sizing is based on the simultaneous fixtures you want to run and Grandview’s incoming groundwater temperature (around 55 °F). We calculate the total gallons per minute (GPM) you’ll demand—shower (2.0 GPM) + dishwasher (1.5 GPM), for example—and match it to a unit that can raise water to 120 °F at that flow. During your free estimate, our technician measures your peak use and recommends the correct model so you never run out of hot water.
What is the typical installation timeline for a tankless water heater in Grandview homes?
Most replacements take 4–6 hours when we’re swapping an old tank for a new tankless unit in the same location. If we’re relocating the heater, upsizing gas lines, or adding a dedicated vent, the job can extend to a full day. We schedule around your availability and always obtain the required Grandview permits and inspection approvals.
Will a tankless water heater save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Because tankless systems only heat water when you open a tap, they eliminate standby heat loss from a storage tank. Homeowners in Grandview typically see 20–40 % lower gas or electric water-heating costs, depending on usage patterns. Over the 20-year life of the unit, savings often exceed the higher upfront price.
Do I need to flush or maintain my tankless water heater?
Annual maintenance is essential. Grandview’s municipal water has moderate hardness (about 7–10 grains per gallon), so mineral scale can form on the heat exchanger. We recommend a yearly descaling flush, cleaning the intake filter, and checking venting. Our service plan includes a reminder call and discounted maintenance visit to keep your warranty valid and efficiency high.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for installing a tankless water heater in Grandview?
Absolutely. Spire (natural gas utility) often offers rebates up to $300 for qualifying ENERGY STAR® tankless units, and the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit can cover 30 % of the installed cost (max $600) through 2032. We handle the paperwork and provide all model numbers, AHRI certificates, and receipts so you can claim every available incentive.
