FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing a tankless water heater over a traditional storage-tank unit?
Tankless (on-demand) units heat water only when you open a tap, eliminating standby heat loss and cutting energy use by 25-40 %. They are compact, mount on a wall to save floor space, provide an endless supply of hot water, and typically last 18-20 years—almost double the life expectancy of a tank heater. Because there’s no stored water, the risk of tank ruptures and large leaks is also eliminated.
How do I know what size tankless water heater I need for my Jasper home?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) total flow rate (gallons per minute) of the fixtures you expect to run at the same time, and 2) required temperature rise (difference between groundwater temperature—around 55 °F in Jasper—and your desired hot-water temperature, usually 120 °F). Our technicians calculate these numbers, then match you with a unit whose rated GPM at the needed temperature rise meets or exceeds your household demand to ensure consistent, uninterrupted hot water.
What fuel options are available, and which one is best for me?
Most Jasper homeowners choose either natural gas, propane, or electric models. Gas units deliver higher flow rates and are ideal for whole-house use, while electric units are simpler to install but may require electrical upgrades for large households. If you already have a gas line, a gas or propane tankless is usually the most cost-effective long-term choice. We’ll assess your existing utilities, energy prices, and hot-water demand to recommend the most efficient option.
Will a tankless water heater work with my existing plumbing and venting?
In many cases, yes. We can tie into current water lines and repurpose existing gas or propane lines, but some upgrades may be necessary to meet the unit’s BTU input and safety codes. Gas models require stainless-steel or PVC direct-venting through an exterior wall or roof; we’ll install new venting if your current flue isn’t compatible. Electric models do not require venting but may need dedicated high-amperage circuits. Our installation includes a full code-compliant retrofit so everything operates safely and efficiently.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater need?
Tankless systems are low-maintenance, but annual service is essential for peak performance and warranty compliance. We flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to dissolve mineral scale (more often if you have hard water), inspect the burner or heating elements, clean the water and air filters, and run a full diagnostic. Regular maintenance preserves efficiency, prevents premature wear, and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid.
How much does installation cost and are there rebates available in Jasper?
Installed prices vary with fuel type, unit capacity, venting complexity, and any utility upgrades. Typical whole-house gas units—including labor and materials—range from $3,000 to $4,500, while electric models start around $2,000. Potential savings include Indiana utility rebates (up to $400 for qualifying ENERGY STAR® gas models) and federal tax credits of 30 % of the project cost, capped at $600. During your in-home estimate we provide a fixed price, explain all available incentives, and handle the paperwork for you.
