FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater for my Huntsville home?
Tankless units heat water on demand, eliminating standby heat loss from a storage tank. In Huntsville’s moderate climate, this can reduce energy use by up to 30%, free up floor space, and provide an endless supply of hot water for families that often run multiple fixtures at once.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take in Huntsville?
For most single-family homes, a standard gas or electric tankless installation takes 4–8 hours. This includes removing the old tank, mounting the new unit, running upgraded gas, water, or electrical lines, and venting through an exterior wall or roof in compliance with Madison County code.
Do I need to upgrade my gas or electrical service?
Possibly. Gas units generally require a ¾" gas line delivering 150–200 k BTU/hr, higher than many existing tanked heaters. Electric models often need one or two 240-V, 40- to 60-amp circuits. Our technicians perform a load calculation on-site and will quote any panel or meter upgrades before work begins.
How do tankless systems handle Huntsville’s hard water?
Water in the Tennessee River Valley averages 8–10 grains per gallon, which can cause scale buildup inside the heat exchanger. We install an in-line isolation valve kit for easy annual descaling and recommend an optional whole-house filtration or softener system to maximize efficiency and maintain the manufacturer’s warranty.
What kind of maintenance is required after installation?
Plan on a professional flush and inspection once a year. We’ll circulate a food-grade descaling solution through the heat exchanger, clean the inlet screen, and verify combustion or electrical performance. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency high and extends the typical 20-year lifespan of your unit.
Are there rebates or incentives available in Huntsville for tankless water heaters?
Yes. Huntsville Utilities offers periodic bill credits for natural-gas appliances, and federal tax credits of 30% (up to $600) are available for ENERGY STAR-certified models installed before 2032. We provide all paperwork and will help you apply for local utility rebates at the time of installation.
