FAQs
What are the advantages of choosing a tankless water heater over a traditional storage tank in New Market?
Tankless units heat water on demand, which means you’ll never run out of hot water and you won’t be paying to keep 40–50 gallons hot all day. They’re typically 20–35% more energy-efficient, take up far less space, have a service life of 20+ years (compared with 10–15 for tanks), and qualify for state and federal rebates that can offset installation costs. Local utility prices in New Market make the long-term energy savings especially attractive.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater I need for my home?
Sizing is based on two factors: the maximum number of hot-water fixtures you may use simultaneously and the groundwater temperature in New Market (about 55-60 °F). Our licensed plumbers calculate the required total flow rate (gallons per minute) and temperature rise to select a unit that can supply all fixtures at peak demand without temperature drop. During the estimate visit, we’ll review your household habits, consider any future additions, and recommend the most efficient model.
What is involved in converting from a storage tank to a tankless system?
A retrofit typically takes one working day. We drain and safely remove the old tank, then mount the new tankless unit on a wall (often in the same utility area to minimize piping changes). Modifications may include: upgrading to ¾" gas piping for higher BTU demand, installing Category III or IV venting, adding a condensate drain for high-efficiency gas units, and possibly upsizing the electrical circuit for electric models. All work is permitted and inspected to ensure it meets Maryland Plumbing Code and manufacturer specifications.
How much does a professional tankless installation cost in the New Market area?
Installed prices generally range from $3,400 to $5,800 depending on fuel type (gas vs. electric), flow rate, venting requirements, and whether gas/electrical upgrades are needed. We offer flat-rate quotes after an on-site survey, and we’ll identify any available rebates (up to $600 federal tax credit plus local utility incentives) to reduce your out-of-pocket expense. Financing plans with low monthly payments are also available for qualified homeowners.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and do you provide that service?
To maintain efficiency and preserve the warranty, manufacturers recommend an annual service that includes: descaling the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup (especially important with New Market’s moderately hard water), cleaning the inlet filter, checking burner and vent components, and updating firmware on smart models. Our licensed plumbers offer one-time or annual maintenance plans; each visit takes about one hour and can significantly extend the life of the unit.
Will a tankless water heater work during a power outage?
Most gas-fired tankless units use an electronic ignition and control board, so they will not operate without electricity even though they burn gas. If reliable hot water during outages is critical, we can supply models with battery backup kits or discuss integrating a small generator. Electric tankless units obviously require full power. We can review your outage history in New Market and recommend the best contingency solution during the consultation.
