FAQs
What does your up-front pricing for tankless water heater installation include?
Our up-front price is a flat, all-inclusive quote that covers the new tankless unit, removal and disposal of your old water heater, required plumbing and gas line modifications, venting materials, labor, permits, and post-installation inspection. The price you approve before we start is the price you pay—no hidden fees or surprise add-ons.
How do I know if my Lake City home is suitable for a tankless water heater?
During a free in-home assessment, our licensed plumber checks your home’s gas line capacity, electrical service, and venting options. Most Lake City homes can accommodate a tankless unit, but older properties may need minor upgrades (e.g., gas line upsizing). We’ll explain any necessary work and include it in the same up-front price so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
A standard replacement takes 4–6 hours. This includes draining and removing the old tank, mounting the new tankless unit, updating gas or water lines, installing venting, purging the system, and performing a full functionality test. If extensive gas line rerouting or electrical upgrades are required, the job may extend to one full day; we’ll tell you in advance and honor the original price quote.
What size tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Sizing is based on your peak hot-water demand (gallons per minute) and the temperature rise needed in Lake City’s climate. During the consultation we total the flow rates of fixtures you may run simultaneously—showers, faucets, appliances—and select a unit (e.g., 9–11 GPM) that can meet that demand. Choosing the correct size prevents temperature fluctuations and ensures energy savings.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a tankless heater?
Tankless units heat water on demand, eliminating standby losses common in storage tanks. Most Lake City homeowners see 20–40 % lower natural-gas or electric water-heating costs. Actual savings depend on hot-water usage patterns, unit efficiency (up to 0.99 UEF), and local utility rates, but many customers recover the installation cost within 5–7 years.
What maintenance is required after installation, and do you service what you install?
Yes. We provide annual maintenance plans that include flushing the heat exchanger to remove scale, checking the combustion chamber, cleaning the air filter, and verifying safety controls. Routine servicing keeps your warranty valid and extends the unit’s 20-plus-year lifespan. We also offer priority scheduling and discounted repair rates for customers enrolled in our service plan.
