FAQs
What exactly is a tankless water heater and how does it deliver endless hot water?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater is a compact appliance that heats water only when you open a hot-water tap. Powerful gas burners or electric heating elements instantly raise the water temperature as it flows through the unit, so there is no storage tank that can run out. As long as the unit is properly sized for your peak demand, you’ll enjoy an uninterrupted supply of hot water for showers, laundry, and dishwashing.
Why should I install a tankless water heater in Gruetli-Laager instead of a traditional tank?
Tankless systems offer several advantages that are especially attractive in our area: • Endless hot water – great for homes with multiple occupants or large tubs. • Energy savings – up to 20–40 % lower utility bills because you aren’t keeping 40–80 gallons hot 24/7. • Space savings – most units are wall-mounted and roughly the size of a carry-on suitcase. • Longer life – 20+ years versus 8–12 for a tank, which reduces landfill waste. • Reduced flood risk – no stored water means no catastrophic tank rupture. • Rebates – Tennessee Valley Authority and local gas utilities periodically offer incentives for high-efficiency installs.
How do I determine the right size (flow rate) tankless unit for my home?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) the maximum gallons-per-minute (GPM) of hot water your household may use at once, and 2) the temperature rise needed to reach 120 °F. In Grundy County, groundwater is about 55 °F, so you need roughly a 65 °F rise. We add up the flow rates of fixtures likely to run simultaneously—e.g., two showers (2.0 GPM each) + a washing machine (1.5 GPM) = 5.5 GPM. We then recommend a model capable of at least 6 GPM at a 65 °F rise. During your free in-home consultation we’ll measure fixture flow rates and discuss usage patterns to specify the ideal unit.
Will switching to a tankless water heater really lower my energy bills?
Yes, most homeowners see noticeable savings. Because a tankless unit only fires when you draw hot water, standby losses are eliminated. ENERGY STAR® estimates an average family saves about $100 per year compared with a standard gas tank and even more compared with electric tanks. Savings increase if you travel often or have long periods of low hot-water use, and modern modulating burners further optimize fuel consumption.
How long does installation take and will my existing plumbing or gas lines need upgrades?
A straightforward replacement with adequate gas line size and venting can be completed in one day. If we’re relocating the heater, upsizing a gas line, adding a condensate drain, or installing new vent penetrations, the job may extend to two days. We handle all permits required by Grundy County and ensure the installation meets the 2021 International Plumbing & Fuel Gas Codes adopted in Tennessee. Before scheduling, we perform a site survey to identify any needed upgrades and provide a firm, itemized quote.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require and what warranty do you provide?
To maintain efficiency and warranty coverage, manufacturers recommend an annual service that includes descaling the heat exchanger (especially important in our moderately hard water), cleaning the inline screen filter, and checking combustion settings. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that takes care of this for you. Most leading brands provide a 12- to 15-year heat-exchanger warranty, 5-year parts warranty, and 1-year labor warranty; we register the unit for you and stand behind our workmanship with a two-year labor guarantee.
