FAQs
What are the main advantages of installing a tankless water heater for my Strawberry Plains home?
Tankless water heaters produce hot water on demand, so you never run out during back-to-back showers or laundry loads. They are 20–40 % more energy-efficient than storage tanks, take up far less space, and typically last 18–20 years—almost double the lifespan of a conventional heater. Because they heat water only when you open a tap, utility bills drop and the risk of tank leaks or flooding is eliminated.
How long does a tankless water heater installation usually take?
For most single-family homes in Strawberry Plains, Endless Stream Plumbing completes the swap in one working day. A straightforward gas-to-gas change-out with existing venting can take 4–6 hours, while first-time installations that require a new vent run, gas line upsizing, or electrical circuit may extend to 6–10 hours. We schedule an on-site assessment beforehand so you know the timeline and cost before any work begins.
Will my existing gas or electrical service need to be upgraded?
Sometimes. Gas models need a ¾-inch gas line and a Category III or IV vent, while electric models require a 240-V circuit that can draw 120–160 amps for whole-house units. During our free estimate, we measure gas pressure and panel capacity; if upgrades are needed, we’ll detail the scope and provide a bundled quote that includes licensed electrical or gas work so there are no surprise expenses.
How does a tankless unit perform during cold East Tennessee winters?
Modern tankless heaters are engineered with freeze protection down to –30 °F and modulating burners that compensate for colder incoming water. In Strawberry Plains, incoming water temperatures typically dip to 45–50 °F in January; we size the unit so it still delivers a 2.5–3 gpm shower at 110 °F without temperature fluctuations. Proper installation—including insulation on exterior pipes and placement out of direct wind—ensures reliable winter performance.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and do you offer service plans?
Annual maintenance keeps your warranty valid and maximizes efficiency. The main tasks are descaling the heat exchanger with food-grade vinegar, cleaning the inlet screen, checking combustion settings, and updating firmware on some smart models. Endless Stream Plumbing offers a low-cost ComfortGuard plan that covers the yearly flush, full inspection, priority scheduling, and discounts on future repairs or upgrades.
Are there rebates or incentives available for Strawberry Plains residents?
Yes. Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) offers up to a $300 credit for qualifying ENERGY STAR® tankless units, and TVA’s EnergyRight program finances installations at 6.99 % APR with no money down. Many gas suppliers provide an additional $100–$150 rebate for switching from an electric tank to a gas tankless model. We handle all paperwork and will deduct confirmed rebates from your final invoice whenever possible.
