FAQs
How does a tankless water heater provide endless hot water?
Unlike traditional tanks that store and re-heat 40–80 gallons, a tankless (on-demand) heater uses high-output gas burners or electric elements to heat water only when you open a tap. Cold water flows through a heat exchanger, is warmed instantly, and continues to be heated for as long as the faucet stays on. Because there is no storage tank to run out, you get a continuous supply of hot water—perfect for large families, back-to-back showers, or filling a soaking tub.
What size tankless unit do I need for my Spring City home?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) total flow rate of fixtures that may run simultaneously, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and (2) the temperature rise required, which in Spring City is typically 70–75 °F (we often see 45 °F incoming groundwater and aim for 120 °F at the tap). Most three-bathroom homes need a 9–11 GPM gas unit or a 7–9 GPM electric unit. During our free in-home estimate we calculate your exact demand, check gas line capacity or electrical service, and recommend the right model so you never experience a hot-water bottleneck.
Are tankless water heaters energy-efficient and will they save me money?
Yes. Because tankless units heat water only when needed, they eliminate stand-by losses that account for up to 20 % of a storage tank’s annual energy use. ENERGY STAR®-rated gas models can reach efficiencies of 96 % and may cut your water-heating bill by 25–40 %. Savings are highest in households that currently keep a large tank hot 24/7. Spring City residents may also qualify for federal tax credits of 30 % of the project cost (up to $600) and PECO gas rebates, further improving the payback period.
How long does installation take and what is involved?
A standard replacement where we remove a tank and install a tankless unit in the same location typically takes one working day. The process includes: • Safe drain-down and removal of the old tank. • Up-sizing the gas line or installing a dedicated 240 V circuit (for electric units) if required. • Mounting the new heater and flushing the line to remove debris. • Running Category III or PVC venting through an exterior wall or roof. • Connecting water, gas/electric, and condensate drains, then pressure-testing. • Programming temperature settings and showing you how to operate the unit. For more complex jobs—relocating the heater, adding a recirculation loop, or upgrading service panels—installation may extend to two days.
Do tankless systems work well with our cold winter groundwater in Spring City?
Absolutely. Modern condensing gas units deliver up to 199,000 BTU/h and are engineered to handle a 75–80 °F temperature rise without reducing flow below shower-friendly levels. We set the heater to modulate its flame so it maintains the setpoint even when incoming water drops to 40–45 °F. For large homes we can also parallel two smaller units for higher winter capacity, or add a small buffer tank to eliminate any ‘cold-water sandwich’ effect when fixtures cycle on and off.
What maintenance do tankless water heaters require and do you offer service plans?
To keep the heat exchanger free of mineral scale and maintain the warranty, manufacturers recommend an annual flush with a vinegar or citric-acid solution—especially important in Chester County where the hardness averages 9–12 grains per gallon. Our Endless Hot Water Club includes: • Yearly descaling and inspection of the burner, fan, and venting. • Cleaning of inlet water filter and condensate trap. • Firmware updates and temperature calibration. • Priority scheduling and 10 % discount on any repairs. Routine maintenance extends the unit’s life to 20+ years—double that of most storage tanks.
