FAQs

Why should I replace my conventional tank-style heater with a tankless unit in Jacksboro?

Tankless water heaters heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating the 24-hour standby losses that occur with storage tanks. In Jacksboro, where electric and propane rates have risen steadily, this translates into 20–40 % lower annual energy costs. You also gain unlimited hot-water supply, a space-saving wall mount, fewer leak risks, and equipment that routinely lasts 18–20 years—almost twice as long as a tank. Because our team is local, we size and vent the unit to meet all Texas Plumbing Code and City of Jacksboro permit requirements, so you get the efficiency without compliance headaches.

How much money can I actually save on my utility bills?

Savings depend on fuel type, household demand, and the efficiency of the old heater. For a typical three-bedroom Jacksboro home using 50 gallons of hot water per day, ENERGY STAR® studies show savings of $80–$150 per year on natural gas and $120–$250 on propane. Electric tankless units can cut kWh consumption by 10–20 %. Because tankless systems last almost twice as long as tanks, life-cycle savings are often $1,000–$2,000 when you factor in avoided replacement costs and lower maintenance.

Will a tankless water heater work with Jacksboro’s hard water and occasional winter freezes?

Yes. We install models that include scale-reduction technology and stainless-steel heat exchangers designed for hard water areas like Jack County. During installation we add a service-friendly isolation valve kit that lets you quickly flush mineral build-up with white vinegar once a year. For freeze protection, gas units have built-in electric heaters down to –30 °F; we also insulate exterior lines and, when needed, install drain-back valves so your system is protected even during rare North Texas cold snaps.

What size tankless water heater do I need for my family?

Sizing is based on two variables: (1) the maximum number of fixtures you want to run simultaneously and (2) Jacksboro’s incoming groundwater temperature, which averages 65 °F. We calculate the total flow rate (gallons per minute) of those fixtures and the temperature rise required to reach 120 °F. For example, two showers and a washing machine running together require about 6 GPM at a 55 °F rise. A 180,000 BTU gas unit or a 27 kW electric unit would cover that load. During your free in-home assessment, we take exact measurements so you never run out of hot water.

How long does installation take and what is involved?

Most residential replacements are completed in one day. We begin by safely draining and removing your old tank. Next we upsize the gas line or upgrade the electrical service if necessary, mount the new unit on an exterior or interior wall, install Category III or concentric venting, and tie into existing hot- and cold-water lines. We pull the City of Jacksboro permit, schedule the inspection, and haul away all debris. You are left with a clean mechanical room and a tutorial on operating the digital controller.

What maintenance is required and what warranty do you offer?

Maintenance is straightforward: (1) flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution once a year (takes about 45 minutes using the isolation valves we install), (2) clean the air filter quarterly, and (3) check the condensate drain for obstructions. We offer a 5-year parts and labor warranty on our workmanship, and the manufacturers we carry provide 15-year heat-exchanger and 5-year parts warranties. Enrolling in our Energy Bill Plumbing Service Plan gives you priority scheduling and automatic annual descaling, ensuring top efficiency and full warranty protection.
