FAQs
What are the main benefits of replacing my old tank-type heater with a tankless water heater?
A tankless unit heats water on demand, so you get virtually endless hot water and eliminate standby heat loss—that can save 20–40 % on water-heating energy costs. Tankless models are wall-mounted, freeing up floor space, and they typically last 18–20 years, about twice as long as a storage tank. Many homeowners in Sale Creek also appreciate the built-in safety features (no risk of tank rupture) and the federal/state rebates that may be available for high-efficiency models.
How do I know what size tankless system my Sale Creek home needs?
Sizing is based on the maximum gallons-per-minute (GPM) of hot water your household will need at one time and the temperature rise required (difference between incoming ground-water temperature and desired outlet temperature). During our free in-home assessment, a Licensed Pros Plumbing technician will calculate your simultaneous fixture demand—showers, washers, faucets—and the local groundwater temperature (about 55-60 °F in Sale Creek) to recommend the correctly sized gas or electric unit, so you never run out of hot water or overpay for capacity you don’t need.
What does a professional tankless installation typically cost and how long will it take?
For most single-family homes in the Sale Creek area, a standard gas tankless installation runs $3,000–$4,500, while electric models are often $2,200–$3,200. The price ranges reflect factors such as relocating the unit, upsizing gas lines, adding a dedicated electrical circuit, or installing stainless-steel venting. Once parts are on site, our crew can usually complete the swap-out—including removal and disposal of the old tank—in one working day (6–8 hours). Complex retrofits or propane conversions may take an extra half day.
Do I need a permit or inspection for a tankless water heater in Sale Creek, and do you handle that paperwork?
Yes. Hamilton County requires a mechanical/plumbing permit for any water-heating equipment replacement, and gas-fired units also need a pressure test and venting inspection. Licensed Pros Plumbing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured; we pull all necessary county/city permits, coordinate inspections, and provide you with the final approval sticker for your records—no extra running around for you.
What kind of maintenance will my new tankless heater need, and can you perform it?
To keep the heat exchanger free of scale buildup common in southeast Tennessee, we recommend a professional flush with food-grade vinegar once a year (twice if you have very hard water). We also clean the inlet filter, check combustion settings, and run a diagnostic on the control board. Our maintenance packages include a reminder program and priority scheduling, and they keep most manufacturers’ warranties valid. Yes—we service every brand we install and can set you up on an annual plan before we leave the job.
What warranties and protections do I receive when I hire Licensed Pros Plumbing?
Most premium tankless brands we install carry 12- to 15-year heat-exchanger warranties, 5-year parts coverage, and 1-year labor from the manufacturer. Licensed Pros Plumbing adds a 3-year workmanship guarantee on all piping, venting, and gas/electrical connections we touch. Because we are state-licensed Master Plumbers and maintain general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, your project is fully protected from start to finish.
