FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing a tankless water heater in my Morristown home?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out during showers, laundry, or dish-washing. Because there’s no standby tank to keep warm, most homeowners see 20–40 % lower energy use compared with storage heaters. The compact wall-mounted design frees up floor space, and the average life expectancy (20+ years) is nearly double that of a conventional tank. Finally, our Morristown-licensed plumbers size the unit precisely for your family’s peak demand, so you enjoy reliable, endless hot water year-round.
How does a tankless water heater provide “endless” hot water?
Inside the unit, high-output gas burners or electric heating elements fire only when a hot-water tap opens. Cold water passes through a heat exchanger and exits the unit at your set temperature, typically 120 °F. Because the system heats water continuously as it flows, there’s no finite 40- or 50-gallon reserve to deplete, so multiple fixtures can be supplied back-to-back without waiting for a tank to recover.
Is my existing plumbing, gas, or electrical service compatible with a tankless system?
In most Morristown homes the existing ¾-inch gas line and 120 V outlet are sufficient for mid-size units. Larger whole-house gas models may need a 1-inch gas line upgrade and Category III or IV venting through the roof or sidewall. Electric tankless models require 150–200 amps of service and dedicated breakers. During a free in-home assessment, we examine your water lines, gas meter, panel capacity, vent path, and water quality to recommend the right model and any minor upgrades needed.
How long does installation take, and will I be without hot water?
A straightforward replacement of a gas storage tank with a gas tankless unit typically takes one working day (6–8 hours). We remove the old heater, hang and connect the new unit, run venting, perform gas pressure and combustion checks, and flush the lines. You’ll be without hot water only during the swap—usually 3–4 hours. Complex electric upgrades or relocation projects can extend the job to a second day, but we always restore hot water before we leave.
What maintenance does a tankless heater need and how long will it last?
With yearly maintenance, most quality brands last 20–25 years. We recommend an annual 45-minute service that includes: • Descaling the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove mineral buildup common in Morristown’s moderately hard water. • Cleaning the inlet screen filter. • Inspecting the venting, gas pressure, and ignition system. • Updating firmware on smart-connected units. This service keeps efficiency high, prevents error codes, and protects your warranty.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills, and are there local incentives?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates gas tankless heaters save the typical household $80–$100 per year; larger families can save more because standby losses grow with daily gallons heated. Electric models save less in dollars but eliminate combustion emissions. New Jersey’s Clean Energy Program often offers $250–$500 rebates for ENERGY STAR® qualified units, and many Morristown utility customers can access 0 % financing on high-efficiency upgrades. We’ll handle all rebate paperwork and provide projected payback figures during your estimate.
