FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water—perfect for back-to-back showers or filling large soaking tubs. Because they don’t store 40-50 gallons of hot water 24/7, they can reduce energy use by 24–34 percent versus a standard tank, lowering monthly utility bills. They also take up far less space, have replaceable parts for longer service life (20+ years), and lessen the risk of tank leaks that can flood a home.
How does a tankless heater deliver endless hot showers?
When a hot-water tap opens, a flow sensor signals the burner or heating elements to ignite. Cold water passes through a high-efficiency heat exchanger and exits the unit at the temperature you’ve set—continuously, as long as flow is present. Because there is no storage tank to deplete, multiple family members can shower one after another without waiting for recovery time.
Will a tankless system work in my Lenoir City home’s climate and size?
Yes. We size each model based on your home’s incoming groundwater temperature (about 55-60 °F in Lenoir City), the number of bathrooms, simultaneous fixtures used, and desired output temperature. A properly sized unit—often 7–9 gallons per minute (GPM) for a typical 3-bath home—will meet demand even in winter. During your free estimate, our technician performs a load calculation to select the right gas or electric model for optimal performance.
What is involved in the installation process and how long does it take?
Most retrofits are completed in one day. We start by draining and removing your old tank, then mount the new compact unit on a wall. Gas models may require upsized gas lines, a 120-V outlet, and stainless-steel venting through an exterior wall or roof. Electric models often need a dedicated breaker and heavier-gauge wiring. After plumbing and electrical connections are made, we flush the system, set temperature limits, and walk you through operation. All work is permitted and inspected to meet Tennessee code.
How much energy can I save and are there rebates in Lenoir City?
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless gas heaters save an average household $80–$100 per year compared with a standard gas tank; electric models can save even more if paired with time-of-use rates. Many units qualify for a federal 30 % tax credit (up to $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act. Fort Loudoun Electric Cooperative and Lenoir City Utilities Board periodically offer additional rebates—ask us for the latest programs during your quote.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Because Lenoir City’s water is moderately hard, we recommend a quick annual service: flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to dissolve mineral buildup, cleaning the inlet filter, and checking combustion settings. This takes about one hour and keeps efficiency and warranty intact. We offer an affordable maintenance plan that schedules the visit automatically and includes priority service if you ever need repairs.
