FAQs
What is included in your up-front price for a tankless water heater installation in South Pittsburg?
Our quoted price is all-inclusive. It covers the on-site assessment, removal and disposal of your old water heater (if applicable), the new tankless unit, all required venting and mounting materials, basic gas-line or electrical hookups (up to 10 ft), any code-required shut-off valves, municipal permit fees for South Pittsburg/Marion County, labor, and a final system start-up with customer training. You will never see surprise charges after the job is complete.
How long does a typical tankless water heater installation take?
Most residential installations are completed in one visit lasting 4–8 hours. We arrive with the unit, pull the city permit in advance, shut off utilities, remove the existing heater, make any needed gas/electrical alterations, mount and vent the new unit, test for leaks, and then flush and commission the system. You will have hot water the same day, and we clean the work area before leaving.
Will switching to a tankless water heater really save me money on energy bills?
Yes. Because tankless systems heat water only when you open a tap, they eliminate standby heat loss. The U.S. DOE estimates savings of 24–34 % for households using up to 41 gallons a day. In South Pittsburg, that can translate to roughly $80–$150 a year on natural-gas costs. Many models also qualify for federal tax credits and local TVA efficiency rebates, shortening the payback period further.
Do I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service?
Not always, but it’s evaluated during our free in-home estimate. Most gas tankless units require a ¾-inch gas line capable of 150–199 k BTU. If your existing line is undersized, we’ll quote the exact cost to upsize it before work begins. Electric tankless models often need multiple 40- to 50-amp breakers and a 200-amp main panel; if your service is smaller, we’ll outline upgrade options. All potential upgrades are included in the up-front price we give you.
What size (flow rate) tankless water heater do I need for my household?
Proper sizing is based on two factors: the peak gallons-per-minute (GPM) demand in your home and the temperature rise needed (incoming water temperature in South Pittsburg averages 55-60 °F). During the consultation we add up simultaneous fixtures—e.g., shower (2.5 GPM) + dishwasher (1.5 GPM) + washing machine (2 GPM)—and recommend a unit that can supply that total at a 60-70 °F rise. Most three-bath homes here need a 7–9 GPM (160–199 k BTU) gas model.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
We register your unit with the manufacturer, giving you a 10- to 15-year heat-exchanger warranty, 5-year parts warranty, and 1-year labor warranty. Our company adds a complimentary annual flush and inspection during the first year, and we offer low-cost maintenance plans afterward to keep the heat exchanger free of mineral scale. If you experience any issues, our South Pittsburg technicians are on call 24/7 for priority service.
