FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer over a conventional storage-tank model?
Tankless units heat water only when a fixture calls for it, eliminating standby heat loss and cutting energy use by 20–40 %. They also provide an endless supply of hot water, free up floor space, and typically last 18–20 years—almost twice as long as a tank. Because the heat exchanger is replaceable, long-term ownership costs in New Market are often lower even after factoring in the higher purchase price.
Will a tankless water heater keep up with my family’s hot-water demand in New Market?
Yes—provided the unit is correctly sized. Our technicians calculate your home’s peak flow rate (gallons per minute needed when showers, appliances, and faucets run simultaneously) and the required temperature rise from New Market’s incoming water temperature to your desired 120 °F set-point. We then match you to a gas or electric model capable of meeting that flow rate so you never run out of hot water, even on the coldest winter mornings.
How do I know what size tankless water heater I need?
Sizing is based on two factors: 1) maximum simultaneous flow rate and 2) temperature rise. We add the GPM ratings of the fixtures you’re likely to use at once, then measure the incoming ground-water temperature in New Market (typically 55-60 °F). The difference between that and 120 °F is the temperature rise the unit must achieve at the calculated flow rate. We present several models that meet or exceed those numbers so you can choose the efficiency level and price point that best fit your budget.
What does the installation process involve and how long will it take?
A standard replacement takes 4–8 hours. We start by turning off utilities, draining and removing the old tank, and upgrading gas or electrical service if required. Next, we mount the compact tankless unit on the wall, run venting or condensate lines, connect water, gas, and power, and set the water pressure and temperature. Finally, we perform combustion analysis or amperage checks, flush the system, and show you how to operate the digital controller. All work is code-compliant and includes the proper permits for New Market.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for installing a tankless water heater in New Market?
Many New Market homeowners qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30 % of the unit and installation cost (capped at $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act. Local utilities—including Huntsville Utilities and TVA in our service area—often offer $50–$250 bill credits for switching to high-efficiency gas equipment. We handle the paperwork, provide AHRI certificates, and submit rebate forms on your behalf so you get every dollar you’re entitled to.
What kind of maintenance do tankless water heaters require and can you handle it?
Manufacturers recommend an annual service that includes descaling the heat exchanger, cleaning the inlet filter, verifying gas pressure, checking venting, and updating firmware. New Market’s moderate water hardness makes descaling especially important to preserve efficiency. Our plumbing team offers economical maintenance plans that cover the service visit, priority scheduling, discounts on any parts, and documentation to keep your warranty valid.
