FAQs
What are the main advantages of switching to a tankless water heater in my Petros home?
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water and you avoid the standby heat losses associated with storage tanks. They are typically 20–40 % more energy-efficient, last about twice as long as a tank system (20+ years with proper care), free up floor space, and can be installed closer to the point of use for faster hot-water delivery. Customers in Petros also appreciate lower utility bills and the peace of mind that comes from a reduced risk of tank leaks and flooding.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations in Petros are completed in one working day. Our technicians first assess gas line size, venting route, and electrical needs. If your existing gas line or venting has to be upgraded, we’ll discuss that up front. A straightforward replacement of a tank system with a tankless unit usually takes 6–8 hours; more complex installs (multiple units, manifold systems, or long vent runs) can extend to 1½ days. We leave your utility area clean and haul away the old tank at no extra cost.
Will a tankless system really give me consistent hot water at multiple fixtures at once?
Yes—provided the unit is properly sized. Unlike a storage tank that holds a finite volume, a tankless heater produces a continuous flow. The key specification is its flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM) at the desired temperature rise. During your estimate we calculate demand for simultaneous fixtures (showers, dishwasher, laundry, etc.) and select a model—or a paired system—capable of meeting that total GPM. High-quality modern units modulate their burners, so even low-flow fixtures get steady, precise temperatures without the “cold-water sandwich” effect common in older models.
How do I know what size tankless water heater I need?
Sizing depends on two factors: (1) the maximum number of fixtures you expect to run at once and their combined flow rates, and (2) the temperature rise needed to get from Petros’s average incoming water temperature (≈55 °F) to your preferred hot-water set-point (typically 120 °F). For example, two simultaneous showers (2 GPM each) plus a sink (1 GPM) equals 5 GPM. A 65 °F rise at 5 GPM requires a unit rated for at least 160,000 BTU/h. During our free in-home assessment we measure actual flows, discuss usage habits, and recommend the right single or dual-unit solution so you never notice a drop in temperature.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
Routine maintenance is simple but essential for efficiency and longevity: (1) Descale or flush the heat exchanger annually (every 6 months if you have hard water) to remove mineral buildup; (2) Clean the inlet water filter every 6–12 months; (3) Inspect the venting and condensation drain; (4) Check and, if needed, replace the anode in models that include one. We offer affordable maintenance plans in Petros that include reminders and professional service so you don’t have to worry about voiding the manufacturer’s warranty.
Are rebates or incentives available for installing a tankless water heater in Petros?
Yes. Many Tennessee utility districts, including the ones serving the Petros area, offer rebates ranging from $200 to $500 for qualifying ENERGY STAR-certified gas tankless units. Federal tax credits of 30 % (up to $600) are also available under the Inflation Reduction Act for high-efficiency water heaters installed through 2032. During your estimate we’ll review current local and federal programs, handle the paperwork, and apply any qualifying discounts directly to your final invoice.
