FAQs

Why should I choose a tankless water heater for my Speedwell home?

Tankless units heat water on demand instead of storing 40–80 gallons in a tank. That means endless hot water, energy savings of 20–40 %, a smaller footprint, and a life span of about 20 years—roughly double that of most storage-type heaters. In Speedwell, where electric and propane rates can fluctuate, the higher efficiency of tankless models translates into lower monthly utility bills.

How long does a professional tankless installation usually take?

Most residential replacements in Speedwell are completed in one day. Our crew arrives in the morning to remove the old tank, run the necessary gas, electric, or vent lines, mount the new unit, and perform a full system test. Complex retrofits—such as relocating the heater or upsizing the gas line—may add a few hours, but we still finish 90 % of projects within a single workday.

Do I need to upgrade my gas line or electrical service?

Possibly. Gas-fired tankless units often require a ¾-inch gas line to supply the higher BTU rate, and electric models demand a 120–150 amp service with multiple dedicated breakers. During our free Speedwell site visit we measure existing utilities, calculate demand, and provide a firm quote that includes any necessary upgrades so there are no surprise costs on install day.

How do tankless units handle Speedwell’s hard water?

Hard water minerals can scale the heat exchanger over time, reducing efficiency. We recommend installing a whole-house sediment filter and performing an annual 45-minute flush with food-grade vinegar or a citric-acid solution. Our installation package includes the flush valves and a quick-connect port, making homeowner maintenance simple and protecting your warranty.

What warranties and rebates are available locally?

Most major manufacturers offer 12 – 15 years on the heat exchanger, 5 years on parts, and 1 year on labor. Because Speedwell is served by the TVA energy-right program, qualifying ENERGY STAR® tankless units may earn a $150–$300 rebate. We handle the paperwork and will credit the rebate directly on your invoice when possible.

Will a tankless water heater supply enough hot water for my large family?

Yes—provided it’s sized correctly. We calculate peak demand by adding the flow rates of simultaneous fixtures (showers, dishwasher, washing machine). A typical Speedwell household needs 6–8 GPM at a 70 °F temperature rise. We stock units up to 11 GPM, ensuring back-to-back showers, laundry, and dishes can run without anyone getting a cold surprise.
