FAQs
Why should I choose a tankless water heater over a traditional tank model for my Jacksboro home?
Tankless units heat water only when you need it, providing an endless supply of hot water, lowering standby energy loss, saving space, and typically lasting 5–10 years longer than tank heaters. In Jacksboro’s climate, where groundwater temperatures are moderate, tankless systems operate very efficiently and can reduce utility bills by up to 40 percent compared with standard storage tanks.
How does Jacksboro’s water quality affect a tankless water heater, and what can be done about it?
Much of Jack County’s municipal and well water is moderately hard, meaning it contains elevated calcium and magnesium. Hard water can lead to scale buildup inside the heat exchanger, reducing flow and efficiency. During installation we recommend adding a whole-house sediment filter and, if hardness exceeds 7 grains per gallon, a scale-reduction system or water softener. Annual flushing with a vinegar solution will also keep your new unit running at peak performance.
What size (flow rate) tankless water heater do I need?
Proper sizing is based on two factors: 1) the maximum number of fixtures you might use at once, and 2) the temperature rise required—groundwater in Jacksboro averages about 65 °F, so to reach a 120 °F set point you need a 55 °F rise. A family of four that could run two showers and a faucet simultaneously typically needs a unit rated for 7–8 gallons per minute (GPM). Our technicians will perform a fixture count and temperature-rise calculation on site to recommend the ideal model.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take and what does it involve?
Most residential replacements in Jacksboro are completed in one day. The process includes disconnecting and disposing of the old tank, mounting the new wall-hung unit, upgrading gas or electrical supply lines as needed, installing stainless steel or PVC venting, adding isolation valves for future maintenance, and performing a full commissioning test. We obtain any required city permits and handle the final inspection for you.
What kind of maintenance will my tankless water heater need after installation?
Besides routine scale flushing (once a year for hard water, every 18–24 months for softer water), you should clean the inlet screen filter quarterly, check the venting for obstructions, and have a licensed plumber run a complete diagnostics check every other year. Regular maintenance extends the heat exchanger warranty and helps the unit deliver its expected 20-plus-year service life.
Are there rebates or incentives available for installing a high-efficiency tankless water heater in Jacksboro?
Yes. Many ENERGY STAR-qualified tankless models are eligible for a federal tax credit of 30 percent of the project cost, up to $600. Certain local electric cooperatives and natural gas providers serving Jack County also offer $100–$300 rebates for high-efficiency gas appliances. During your estimate, we’ll outline all current incentives and supply the paperwork you need to claim them.
