FAQs
How can a tankless water heater help lower my utility bills in Grandview?
Traditional tanks keep 40–50 gallons of water hot 24/7, constantly cycling on to maintain temperature. A tankless unit heats water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss. In most Grandview homes this reduces water-heating energy use by 25–40 %, which often shows up as $75–$150 in annual savings on combined gas and electric bills.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on simultaneous demand (gallons per minute) and the temperature rise needed in Grandview’s climate. A two-bath, three-bedroom home typically needs 6–8 GPM; larger homes with multiple showers may require 9–11 GPM or a multi-unit cascade. Our technicians calculate demand during the onsite visit to recommend the right model so you never run out of hot water.
How long does professional installation take and will my water be shut off?
Most residential installations are completed in one day. We turn the water and gas/electric off only during the final connection phase—usually 1–3 hours—so you’re not without service all day. If venting, gas line upsizing, or electrical upgrades are required, we’ll let you know in advance and schedule accordingly.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for tankless water heaters in Grandview?
Yes. Evergy and Spire often offer $150–$300 utility rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified units, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently provides a 30 % tax credit (up to $600) on qualifying high-efficiency water heaters. We supply the paperwork and model information you need to claim both incentives.
What maintenance does a tankless unit require after installation?
To keep efficiency high and preserve the heat exchanger warranty, manufacturers recommend a yearly service that includes descaling with a vinegar solution, cleaning the inlet screen, and checking venting and combustion settings. In Grandview’s moderately hard water, skipping this service can cause mineral buildup and void the warranty.
Will a tankless system work with my existing plumbing and gas or electric lines?
In most cases yes, but a quick inspection confirms it. Gas models may need a larger ¾-inch gas line or dedicated regulator to support the higher BTU draw, and electric models often require upgraded breakers and wiring. Our estimator checks line sizes, venting routes, and water-pressure specs so we can quote any necessary modifications up front.
