FAQs
What are the main benefits of choosing a tankless water heater for my Pelham home?
Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, so you never run out during showers or laundry. Because they only heat water when it’s needed, they can cut energy use by 24–34% versus traditional storage tanks. Their compact size frees up space, they typically last 20+ years (almost twice as long as a tank), and many models qualify for federal or state efficiency rebates—saving you even more money.
How do I determine the right size (flow rate) of tankless unit for my household?
Sizing revolves around two factors: the flow rate you’ll need during peak demand and the temperature rise required to reach your desired hot-water setting. We calculate the total gallons per minute (GPM) your fixtures may use simultaneously—e.g., shower (2.5 GPM) + kitchen sink (1.5 GPM) = 4 GPM. Then we measure incoming groundwater temperature in Pelham (usually 50–55 °F) and figure how much we must raise it to 120 °F. Industry-Leading Units Plumbing performs this assessment for every customer and recommends a model that meets both GPM and temperature-rise requirements without wasting energy.
What is involved in a professional tankless installation and how long does it take?
Our certified technicians start with a site inspection, verify gas line or electrical capacity, obtain the Pelham permit, and schedule the installation. On installation day we remove your old tank, mount the new wall-hung unit, upgrade venting, add isolation valves, and connect water, gas, and power lines. We run and test the system, adjust temperature, and train you on operation. Most jobs are completed the same day (4–8 hours), though electrical upgrades or vent rerouting can add time.
Will a tankless model really lower my energy bills in Pelham?
Yes. Because the burner or heating element fires only when a hot-water tap is open, standby heat loss is eliminated. Homeowners switching from a standard 40- or 50-gallon gas tank typically save 15–25% on annual natural-gas costs. Electric tankless units avoid tank cycling losses that can add 10–15 kWh per month. Actual savings depend on household size and usage patterns, but virtually every Pelham customer sees lower utility statements after the first billing cycle.
What kind of maintenance does a tankless water heater need?
While tankless units need less upkeep than traditional heaters, annual maintenance is still essential for peak efficiency. In our hard-to-moderate Pelham water, we recommend flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution once a year to dissolve mineral scale, cleaning the inlet screen filter, and checking vents and gas pressure. Industry-Leading Units Plumbing offers affordable service plans that include all required inspections, flushing, and priority repairs to keep your manufacturer warranty valid.
Do Pelham building codes require permits or inspections, and do you handle them?
Yes. The City of Pelham requires a plumbing permit for water-heater replacements and often a separate mechanical or electrical permit if gas lines or wiring are modified. Final inspections verify proper venting, pressure relief, combustion air, and seismic restraints. Industry-Leading Units Plumbing manages the entire permitting process on your behalf—submitting applications, scheduling inspections, and ensuring the installation meets or exceeds all local and manufacturer codes for a hassle-free experience.
