FAQs
What exactly is covered in the upfront price you quote for a tankless water heater installation?
Our quoted price is all-inclusive, so there are no surprise add-ons when the job is finished. The figure you see covers: the tankless water heater itself (sized for your home and selected brand), all new gas or electrical connections, venting and condensate lines, minor plumbing modifications, removal and eco-friendly disposal of your old tank, required Hamilton County/Sale Creek permits, a code inspection if needed, and a complete system start-up with homeowner training. We also include the first annual descaling flush at no charge. Unless you request upgrades—such as relocating the unit or adding a water softener—the price we put in writing is the price you pay.
How much can I expect to save on my energy bills with a tankless system?
Tankless units heat water only when a fixture is opened, eliminating the 24-hour standby losses found in storage tanks. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates savings of 24-34 % for homes that use up to 41 gallons of hot water a day, and 8-14 % for heavier-use households. In Sale Creek, where many homes rely on propane or high electric rates, we routinely see customers save $75–$200 per year. Over a 20-year life span, this can offset a significant portion of the installation cost while also providing endless hot water and valuable closet or garage space reclaimed from the old tank.
Which brands and sizes of tankless heaters do you install, and how do I choose the right one?
We service and install Rinnai, Navien, Noritz, and Rheem—brands that carry long warranties and have local parts availability. Sizing is based on peak demand, incoming groundwater temperature in Sale Creek (usually 55–60 °F), fuel type, and desired fixtures. During a free in-home assessment we calculate total gallons-per-minute (GPM) for showers, tubs, dishwashers, etc., running at the same time. Typical three-bathroom homes need a 7-9 GPM gas unit or an 18-27 kW electric unit, but larger households or luxury master baths may require a higher-capacity model or multiple units in parallel. We explain all options and show you performance charts so you can make a confident choice.
What is the typical installation process and timeline for homes in Sale Creek?
Most residential installations take one working day. We arrive at 8 a.m., protect floors, shut off water and power/gas, and drain and remove your old tank (1–2 hours). We then mount the new unit, run venting through an exterior wall or the roof, upgrade gas/electric service if needed, and re-pipe cold and hot lines (3–4 hours). After pressure testing and flushing the lines, we power up the heater, set temperature, and walk you through the controls (1 hour). Water is normally off for only 2–3 hours total, so you can plan around that window. If utility upgrades or relocation are involved, the job may extend into a second day, which we’ll outline before work begins.
What maintenance is required after installation to keep my tankless water heater running efficiently?
Tankless water heaters require far less day-to-day attention than tanks, but they do need an annual service to maintain warranty coverage and efficiency. We recommend a professional descaling flush once a year (twice if your home’s hardness exceeds 10 grains per gallon). The process takes about an hour and removes mineral buildup from the heat exchanger. You should also clean the air intake screen every six months, check the condensate drain, and test the pressure relief valve. We offer a low-cost maintenance plan that schedules these visits automatically and provides priority service should you ever need it.
Are there warranties, rebates, or financing options available for Sale Creek homeowners?
All brands we install carry a manufacturer heat-exchanger warranty of 10–15 years and parts coverage for 5 years; our labor is guaranteed for two years. EPB and TVA often run limited-time rebates (typically $150–$300 for ENERGY STAR-rated gas units) and federal tax credits of 30 % of the project cost, up to $600, are available through 2032. We handle the paperwork so you receive eligible incentives without the hassle. If you prefer to spread out the investment, we offer 0 % APR financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, subject to credit approval.
