FAQs
How does a tankless water heater save energy compared to a traditional storage-tank unit?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater only heats water when you open a tap, eliminating the 24/7 “stand-by” heat loss that occurs in a conventional tank. Because no water is stored, the burner or heating elements shut off completely when hot water isn’t being used. In most New Tazewell homes this translates to energy savings of 25–40 %, lower utility bills, and a reduced carbon footprint.
Will a tankless system supply enough hot water for my family here in New Tazewell?
Yes—when sized correctly. Real Energy Savings Plumbing performs a flow-rate calculation based on the number of simultaneous hot-water demands in your home (showers, dishwasher, laundry, etc.) and the seasonal incoming-water temperature in Claiborne County. We then recommend a unit with a matching gallons-per-minute (GPM) capacity, so you can run multiple fixtures at once without running out of hot water.
How do I know what size tankless water heater I need?
Sizing is determined by two factors: 1) the peak GPM you expect to draw at one time, and 2) the temperature rise required (difference between the incoming cold-water temperature—which averages 55-60 °F in New Tazewell—and your desired outlet temperature). Our technician totals the GPM of all fixtures that could run together, plugs the numbers into the manufacturer’s sizing chart, and recommends the correct BTU or kW rating. This ensures optimal performance and efficiency.
How long does installation take and will my water or gas be shut off?
Most residential conversions from a tank to a tankless unit are completed in one working day. We typically shut off water and gas/electric lines for 2–4 hours while we disconnect the old heater, upgrade venting or gas piping as needed, mount the new unit, and perform safety checks. We coordinate the timing with you so disruption to your household routine is minimal.
Are there rebates or tax incentives in Tennessee for installing an energy-efficient tankless water heater?
Yes. Tennessee homeowners may qualify for federal tax credits of 30 % of the project cost (up to $600) under the Inflation Reduction Act for ENERGY STAR® certified gas or electric tankless units installed after January 1, 2023. In addition, TVA’s energy-right® program often offers $100–$200 rebates to New Tazewell customers who upgrade to qualifying high-efficiency water heaters installed by a licensed plumber like us. We’ll provide all paperwork and guide you through the claim process.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require and can Real Energy Savings Plumbing handle it?
To keep your unit running efficiently for its 20-plus-year lifespan, an annual service is recommended. This includes flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove mineral scale, cleaning the inlet filter, and inspecting the burner or elements. Our maintenance package takes about 45 minutes and can be scheduled at the same time each year. Regular service prevents error codes, preserves efficiency, and maintains your manufacturer warranty.
