FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching from a storage-tank heater to a tankless model in Kodak?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, so you’re never limited by the size of a tank. Homeowners typically save 20–40 % on water-heating energy costs, gain back closet or garage space, and enjoy equipment that can last 18–20 years—almost twice the life span of a conventional tank. Because our background-checked plumbers size and vent each unit to local codes, you also get cleaner combustion, lower risk of leaks, and a smaller carbon footprint, all while boosting your home’s resale value.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take, and will I be without hot water the whole time?
Most standard replacements in Kodak take 4–6 hours. Our team arrives with all approved parts, verifies gas-line capacity or electrical service, installs venting, mounts the unit, and performs start-up testing. You’ll be without hot water only while we disconnect the old heater and tie in the new one—usually 1–2 hours. Before leaving, our plumbers walk you through the digital controls and flush procedure so you’re comfortable operating the system.
How do I know what size or flow-rate tankless unit my household needs?
Sizing is based on simultaneous hot-water demand (measured in gallons per minute, or GPM) and the temperature rise needed to reach 120 °F. During your free in-home estimate, our licensed, background-checked plumber counts fixtures, measures incoming water temperature, and factors in lifestyle habits—such as running two showers and a dishwasher at the same time. We then recommend a unit, usually between 7 and 11 GPM for most three-bath Kodak homes, that can handle peak demand without short-cycling or losing efficiency.
Are your plumbers licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. Every technician we send to your home has passed a state and federal background screening, drug test, and is registered with the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors. We carry $2 million in liability insurance and full workers’ compensation coverage. Credentials, photo ID badges, and proof of insurance are provided on arrival, giving you complete peace of mind while we work inside your home.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater require after installation?
Although tankless systems need less upkeep than storage tanks, annual maintenance is still essential for warranty protection. We recommend a once-a-year service that includes descaling the heat exchanger with a food-grade vinegar solution, cleaning the intake filter, checking gas pressure or electrical connections, and updating firmware on digital models. Our Comfort Club plan includes this service at a discounted rate and tracks your maintenance history, so you never have to remember when it’s due.
How much does a tankless water heater installation cost in Kodak, and are there rebates or financing options?
Installed prices typically run $2,800–$4,500, depending on unit capacity, venting path, gas-line upgrades, and whether electrical work is required. We provide firm, up-front pricing after the on-site assessment, so there are no surprises. Low-interest financing plans with payments as low as $49 per month are available for qualified homeowners, and many ENERGY STAR–rated tankless models qualify for a federal 30 % tax credit (up to $600) plus up to $300 in Tennessee Valley Authority rebates. We handle the paperwork so you can maximize your savings.
