FAQs

What advantages will I see by switching to a tankless water heater in Lancing?

Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and you can eliminate the standby heat loss that occurs in storage-tank models. Homeowners in Lancing typically see energy-use reductions of 20-40 %, freeing up space (no bulky tank), and longer equipment life—20+ years with proper care. Our certified technicians also size the unit precisely for your household, ensuring optimal performance and lower utility bills all year.

How long does a professional tankless water heater installation usually take?

For most single-family homes we complete the job within 4–6 hours. This timeframe includes removing the old tank, upgrading gas or electrical lines if needed, mounting the new unit, and performing safety and performance checks. More complex projects—such as relocating the heater, adding vent penetrations, or upsizing gas supply lines—can extend the visit to a full day. We provide a precise schedule after an on-site assessment so you know exactly what to expect.

Can a tankless water heater be connected to my existing plumbing and utility lines?

In many cases, yes. Your current hot- and cold-water lines can usually stay in place. The main considerations are fuel type and capacity. Gas models require adequate gas supply pressure and a Category III or IV vent; electric models may need a dedicated high-amperage circuit. During our free estimate, a certified technician checks line sizing, vent routes, electrical service, and water quality to determine if minor upgrades are needed or if a direct swap is possible.

How energy efficient is a tankless system compared to my old storage tank?

Storage tanks keep 40–80 gallons of water hot 24/7, which wastes energy through standby loss. By heating only when you open a tap, tankless units reach energy factors (UEF) of 0.87–0.99, whereas standard tanks range from 0.55–0.65. For an average Lancing household this translates to annual savings of $75–$150 on natural-gas and up to $250 on electric bills, depending on usage patterns and local utility rates.

What maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and do you service what you install?

Yes—every system we install is backed by optional annual or bi-annual maintenance plans. Tasks include flushing the heat exchanger with a descaling solution to remove mineral buildup (critical in Lancing’s moderately hard water), cleaning the air intake filter, checking burner or heating elements, and verifying vent integrity. Regular maintenance keeps the warranty valid, maximizes efficiency, and can double the lifespan of internal components.

Are rebates or incentives available in Lancing for high-efficiency tankless installations?

Absolutely. Tennessee Valley Authority and local energy providers often offer $200–$500 rebates for qualifying ENERGY STAR® tankless heaters, and manufacturers frequently run seasonal promotions. In addition, federal tax credits up to 30 % of project cost (capped at $600 for gas and $2,000 for electric heat-pump water heaters) may be available under the Inflation Reduction Act. We handle all paperwork and provide the model documentation you need to secure every applicable incentive.
