FAQs
How does a tankless water heater deliver an “endless” supply of hot water?
Unlike traditional storage tanks that heat a set volume of water, a tankless (on-demand) heater senses flow the moment you open a hot-water tap. Gas burners or electric elements instantly heat water as it passes through internal coils, so you never run out as long as the unit’s flow-rate capacity isn’t exceeded. When the tap closes, the burner shuts off, eliminating standby heat loss.
What size tankless unit do I need for my home in Halls?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) the maximum gallons per minute (GPM) you’ll need during peak demand and (2) the temperature rise required—how much the unit must heat incoming Halls groundwater (about 55 °F) to your desired outlet temperature (120 °F). Most three-bathroom homes need 7–9 GPM; larger households or homes with soaking tubs may need 10–11 GPM. We perform a free on-site load calculation to recommend the right model so you always have adequate hot water.
Will switching to a tankless water heater lower my utility bills?
Yes. ENERGY STAR® studies show gas tankless units can save 24–34 % on water-heating energy compared with standard tanks because they only heat water when you need it. Electric tankless units avoid standby loss as well but savings depend on local electric rates. Many Halls homeowners see payback in 5–7 years, and federal tax credits plus TVA energy-efficiency rebates can shorten that period.
What is involved in converting from a traditional tank to tankless?
1. Assessment: We inspect gas-line capacity, venting routes, electrical supply, and water hardness. 2. Upgrades: Often we upsize the gas line to ¾″ or install a 240-V circuit for electric models, add stainless-steel venting, and mount the compact unit on the wall. 3. Plumbing changes: Cold-water isolation valves and a condensate drain (for high-efficiency gas units) are added. 4. Commissioning: We set temperature, flush the heat exchanger, and register the warranty. Typical change-outs take 4–6 hours, and we schedule work to minimize hot-water downtime to about 2–3 hours.
How long does a tankless water heater last, and what maintenance is required?
With proper care, tankless heaters last 20+ years—about twice the life of storage tanks. Annual maintenance involves descaling the heat exchanger with food-grade vinegar (more often if Halls’ municipal water hardness exceeds 8 grains), cleaning the air intake filter, and checking the condensate trap. Endless Supply Plumbing offers affordable service plans that keep your warranty valid and performance optimal.
Do I need permits or inspections for a tankless installation in Halls?
Yes. Knox County requires a mechanical and, for gas units, a fuel-gas permit. Our licensed installers pull all necessary permits, schedule the county inspection, and provide you with the final approval documentation. Compliance ensures your new system meets local code, operates safely, and maintains its manufacturer warranty.
