FAQs
How does a tankless water heater provide endless hot water?
Unlike traditional storage tanks that heat and re-heat a set volume of water, a tankless unit uses high-efficiency gas burners or electric elements to heat water only when a hot-water tap is opened. Cold water passes through a heat exchanger and is delivered at the set temperature within a few seconds. Because the supply is heated on demand rather than stored, you never "run out" of hot water as long as the unit is properly sized for your Greenback home’s peak demand.
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless water heater in Greenback?
• Endless hot water for showers, laundry and dishwashing without waiting for a tank to refill. • Energy savings of 20–40 % compared with standard tanks because there is no stand-by heat loss. • Space savings—most wall-mounted units are about the size of a carry-on suitcase, freeing up floor space in tight Greenback utility rooms. • Longer life span (20+ years) versus 8–12 years for a tank. • Lower risk of leaks and catastrophic tank ruptures. • Potential eligibility for federal tax credits and local utility rebates for high-efficiency equipment.
How long does installation take and what’s involved?
A straightforward replacement typically takes 4–8 hours. Our Greenback plumbing team will: 1) assess gas line or electrical service capacity and upgrade if needed; 2) flush and repurpose existing water lines or reroute them for optimal flow; 3) mount the unit on an exterior or interior wall; 4) install proper venting per Tennessee mechanical code (for gas models); 5) set temperature, test flow rates and check for leaks. With significant gas-line upsizing, vent penetrations, or relocation of plumbing, the job may extend to a full day.
Will a tankless water heater really lower my energy bills?
Most Greenback households see annual savings of $80–$150 compared with a new standard tank and even more compared with an older, less efficient heater. Savings stem from eliminating stand-by heat loss and using modulating burners that only fire at the rate required. Exact results depend on your family’s hot-water usage, the incoming groundwater temperature (about 58–60 °F in Greenback), fuel costs, and whether you choose gas or electric.
How do I choose the right size (GPM rating) for my household?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) total flow rate of fixtures you may use simultaneously (measured in gallons per minute, GPM) and 2) the required temperature rise (difference between incoming water and desired output temp). A typical Greenback family of four usually needs 7–9 GPM to handle two showers plus a washing machine at once. We perform a free on-site evaluation to measure actual fixture flow rates and recommend a unit with enough capacity, then verify that your home’s gas line or electrical service can supply it.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Minimal but important upkeep will protect efficiency and warranty: • Annual descaling/flush to remove mineral buildup—especially important in Greenback’s moderately hard water. • Cleaning the air intake filter every 6–12 months. • Inspecting and clearing venting, condensate drains, and checking gas pressures. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include the flush and full safety inspection, keeping your unit running trouble-free for 20 years or more.
