FAQs
What qualifies my Huntland home for a same-day tankless water heater installation?
Same-day service is available when we have both a technician and the right model in stock. Most homes with ¾-inch gas lines, sufficient electrical capacity, and easy venting access qualify. When you call before noon, we confirm your fuel type (natural gas, propane, or electric), check incoming water pressure, and review photos of your existing setup. If everything meets code requirements, we can dispatch a licensed plumber with the unit and materials the very same day.
How fast can your plumbers reach me in an emergency?
Our Huntland-based crew is on standby from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For calls placed within city limits, average travel time is 30–45 minutes. Rural addresses in Franklin County are typically reached within 60–90 minutes, traffic and weather permitting. We use GPS-enabled dispatching, so the closest available plumber is routed to you immediately after you book.
Are tankless water heaters really more energy-efficient than traditional tanks?
Yes. Traditional storage heaters keep 40–50 gallons of water hot 24/7, leading to standby heat loss. A tankless unit heats water only when you open a tap, cutting energy use by 24–34 % for homes that consume up to 41 gallons of hot water daily (per U.S. DOE studies). Even larger households can expect 8–14 % savings. Many models also modulate the burner to match flow rate, further reducing gas or electric consumption.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my family?
Sizing is based on flow rate (gallons per minute, GPM) and temperature rise. In Huntland, groundwater enters at roughly 58 °F. If you want 120 °F output, you need a 62 °F rise. A shower averages 2.5 GPM, a dishwasher 1.5 GPM, and a washing machine 2 GPM. Add the fixtures you expect to run simultaneously: for example, shower + dishwasher = 4 GPM. Choose a unit that can deliver at least 4 GPM at a 62 °F rise—typically a 140,000 BTU gas model or an 18 kW electric model. Our technicians perform this calculation during the estimate to ensure you never run out of hot water.
Do you handle permits and local code compliance?
Absolutely. Franklin County and the City of Huntland require a plumbing permit and, for gas units, a gas permit. Our office files the paperwork, pays the fees, and schedules the final inspection. We follow the latest International Residential Code (IRC), including vent clearances, seismic strapping, and combustion-air requirements. After the inspector signs off, we provide you with a copy of the approval for your records.
How much will a tankless installation cost and do you offer financing?
Installed prices in Huntland start around $2,700 for a basic 18 kW electric unit and range up to $4,800 for a high-efficiency condensing gas model with recirculation. Pricing includes the heater, new isolation valves, venting, gas line upsizing (if needed), labor, permits, and haul-away of the old tank. We partner with GreenSky and Synchrony to offer 0 % APR for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, subject to credit approval. All installs come with our 5-year labor warranty and the manufacturer’s 12-year heat-exchanger warranty.
