FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer over a traditional storage-tank unit for Grandview homeowners?
Tankless systems heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby losses that occur in tank models. This means endless hot water on demand, 20–40 % lower energy use, a unit that’s roughly the size of a suitcase instead of a 50-gallon cylinder, and an expected life span of 20+ years—about twice that of a standard tank. In Grandview, where utility costs continue to climb, these efficiencies translate into meaningful monthly savings and a smaller carbon footprint.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater I need?
Sizing is based on peak demand, expressed in gallons per minute (GPM), and the temperature rise required from Grandview’s incoming water (typically 50–55 °F in winter). We add the flow rates of fixtures you may use simultaneously—e.g., shower (2.5 GPM) + kitchen sink (1.5 GPM) = 4 GPM—and choose a model that can raise that flow by 60–70 °F to reach a 120 °F output. Our technicians perform a free in-home assessment, measuring fixture counts, groundwater temperature, and gas or electric service capacity to recommend an accurately sized unit.
What is involved in installing a tankless water heater in Grandview?
Installation usually takes one day. We remove the old tank, mount the compact tankless unit on a wall, run new venting (stainless steel or PVC, depending on the model), upgrade the gas line to the higher BTU input many tankless heaters require, or install a dedicated 240-V circuit for electric models. We also add a condensate drain, seismic straps if needed, and an isolation valve kit for easy future maintenance. All work is permitted and inspected according to Grandview and Jackson County plumbing and mechanical codes.
How much does a tankless water heater cost and what is the payback period?
Installed prices in Grandview typically range from $2,800 to $4,800, depending on capacity, gas vs. electric, and any venting or gas-line upgrades. While upfront costs are higher than a tank unit, energy savings of $100–$200 per year and the unit’s longer life often produce a 6–10-year payback. Rebates from Spire Gas and federal tax credits of up to 30 % (under the Inflation Reduction Act) can shorten the ROI further.
What maintenance does a tankless system require?
To keep warranty coverage and peak efficiency, we recommend an annual service: flush the heat exchanger with a mild vinegar solution to remove mineral scale (critical in Grandview’s moderately hard water), clean the inlet screen filter, check venting and gas pressure, and update firmware on models with smart controls. With proper maintenance, you can expect consistent performance for two decades or more.
Will a tankless water heater work with my existing plumbing and water quality in Grandview?
Yes. Tankless units integrate with standard ¾-in water lines and most homes’ gas or electric supply once sized correctly. Grandview’s water hardness averages 7–10 grains per gallon, which is within manufacturer specs but does make periodic descaling important; we can add a simple scale-inhibiting filter if levels are higher. Because tankless heaters activate based on flow, low-flow fixtures (0.5–0.75 GPM) may need an adapter or a model with a low activation threshold, which we’ll verify during your consultation.
