FAQs
What are the main benefits of switching to a tankless water heater in Rockwood?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when you open a tap, so you never run out of hot water and you avoid the standby heat loss of a traditional storage tank. Homeowners in Rockwood typically see utility-bill savings of 20–40 %, gain back up to 16 ft² of floor space, and reduce the risk of tank leaks that can cause water damage. Tankless units also last 18–20 years on average—about twice the life of a conventional tank.
How does a tankless system deliver “endless” hot water?
When a hot-water tap or appliance is turned on, cold water flows through a heat exchanger inside the wall-mounted unit. A high-efficiency gas burner or electric element instantly raises the temperature to the setpoint, and the water exits the unit continuously heated. Because there is no storage tank to empty, the supply keeps flowing for as long as the faucet stays open—limited only by the capacity of the heater and your home’s incoming water pressure.
Is my Rockwood home compatible with a tankless water heater?
Most houses, condos, and cottages in Rockwood can accept a tankless unit. Key considerations are gas line size (¾″ for most high-BTU models), venting route for combustion gases, and access to 120 V power for the control board. During a free in-home assessment, our licensed plumber measures peak hot-water demand, checks existing gas and venting, and recommends the right model (usually 7–11 GPM for a typical family). If upgrades are needed—such as upsizing the gas line—we include that work in the installation quote.
How long does installation take and will it disrupt my routine?
A standard replacement of a tank-type heater with a tankless unit takes 4–6 hours. We shut off water and gas for roughly half of that time, so you’ll have basic services back the same day. Our team protects flooring, hauls away the old tank, obtains all required Rockwood permits, and schedules the final city inspection. For larger homes that need multiple units in cascade, expect one full day of work.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To keep efficiency high and maintain the manufacturer’s warranty, flush the heat exchanger with a vinegar or citric-acid solution once a year (twice if Rockwood’s hard-water grains per gallon exceed 10 gpg). The service takes about 45 minutes and removes scale that can reduce flow and overheat the unit. We offer discounted annual maintenance plans that also cover cleaning the air intake filter, checking gas pressure, and updating firmware.
What energy savings or rebates are available in Rockwood for tankless installations?
Natural Resources Canada lists ENERGY STAR® tankless models with uniform energy factors (UEF) of 0.92 or higher, qualifying Rockwood residents for Enbridge’s Home Efficiency Rebate Plus program—currently up to $1,000 on a new install when combined with other measures. Because tankless heaters can cut gas use by 200–300 m³ per year, many customers see payback in 4–6 years. We handle all rebate paperwork and can provide financing options with 0 % interest for the first 12 months.
