FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater in Greenback?
Tankless units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby losses that plague storage-tank models. Homeowners typically see energy-bill savings of 20–40 %, endless hot-water supply, space savings (units mount on a wall), and a life expectancy of 20+ years—roughly twice that of a standard tank. Because certified Greenback plumbers size and install the system correctly, you also gain a manufacturer-backed warranty and peace of mind.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater I need?
Sizing is based on your home’s peak hot-water demand, measured in gallons per minute (GPM) and required temperature rise. Our licensed plumbers will add up the GPM requirements of fixtures you might run simultaneously (e.g., shower + dishwasher) and calculate the temperature lift from Greenback’s incoming water (around 55 °F) to your desired set point (usually 120 °F). We then match those numbers to a properly certified gas or electric model so you never run out of hot water.
What is the typical cost to install a tankless water heater in the Greenback area?
Costs vary by fuel type, unit capacity, venting requirements, and whether we’re converting from a tank. Most Greenback installs run $3,200–$4,800 for a whole-home gas model and $2,400–$3,600 for electric, including the unit, upgraded gas or electrical lines, venting, labor, permits, and haul-away of the old tank. A detailed, no-obligation quote is provided after an on-site inspection.
Will I need any special permits or inspections?
Yes. Loudon County and the City of Greenback require mechanical and (for gas units) fuel-gas permits. Our certified plumbers handle all paperwork, schedule the required inspections, and ensure the installation meets the latest International Residential Code (IRC), National Fuel Gas Code, and manufacturer specifications, so you remain fully compliant and covered by warranty.
How long does a professional tankless installation take?
A straightforward replacement of an existing tank with a same-fuel tankless unit usually takes 4–6 hours. Conversions that require upsizing gas lines, installing 240 V circuits, or running new concentric venting can extend the job to a full day. We arrive with all materials, protect work areas, test for leaks, and give you a full tutorial before leaving.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
To maintain efficiency and keep your warranty valid, flush the heat exchanger annually (or semi-annually if Greenback’s water hardness exceeds 11 grains) to remove mineral scale. We can install isolation valves to make flushing easy. In addition, clean the inlet filter every 6 months, inspect venting for obstructions, and schedule a yearly safety check with our certified plumbers to verify combustion and gas-pressure settings.
