FAQs
How does a tankless water heater keep my showers from running cold?
Unlike storage-tank models that hold a finite amount of pre-heated water, a tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water instantly as it flows through the heat exchanger. As long as the unit’s flow-rate capacity isn’t exceeded, it can supply continuous hot water, so multiple or extended showers won’t drain a tank and leave you with cold water.
Will a single tankless unit handle my family’s hot-water needs?
That depends on simultaneous demand. A typical whole-home tankless model delivers 5–11 gallons per minute (GPM). Add up the GPM of fixtures that might run at the same time—e.g., two showers (2 GPM each) plus a dishwasher (1.5 GPM) totals 5.5 GPM. We’ll size the unit (or install parallel units) to match your peak load so every shower stays hot.
What is involved in a professional tankless installation in Reliance?
1) In-home assessment to verify gas line size, venting route, electrical access, and water quality. 2) Removal of the old tank (if applicable). 3) Upgrading gas piping or electrical circuits if the new unit requires higher input. 4) Mounting the compact heater on an interior or exterior wall. 5) Running stainless-steel or PVC venting to the outdoors per local Reliance codes. 6) Flushing the system, testing for gas leaks, and calibrating temperature settings. The job usually takes 4–8 hours and is fully permitted and inspected.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills?
The U.S. Department of Energy estimates gas tankless heaters are 24–34 % more efficient for homes using under 41 gallons of hot water per day and 8–14 % more efficient for heavier use. Electric models see similar gains. Over a 20-year lifespan, savings can reach $1,000–$2,000 compared to a tank, plus you avoid premature replacement every 8–12 years.
What routine maintenance does a tankless system require?
Once a year (twice if your water is hard) we recommend: • Flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution to remove scale. • Cleaning the in-line screen filter. • Inspecting the venting and combustion chamber. • Checking error codes and updating firmware (on Wi-Fi models). These tasks take about an hour and keep efficiency high while preserving your factory warranty.
Are there rebates or incentives for going tankless in Reliance?
Yes. Many local utilities offer $200–$400 rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified gas units. In addition, the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) allows you to claim 30 % of the project cost, up to $600, on your taxes starting in 2023. We’ll handle all paperwork and provide the AHRI certificate so you don’t miss any savings.
