FAQs
How does a tankless water heater deliver endless hot water?
Unlike a storage-tank heater that repeatedly heats 40–50 gallons and eventually runs out, a tankless (also called on-demand) unit senses water flow the instant you open a hot tap. Powerful gas burners or electric elements heat the water as it passes through a compact heat exchanger, so it reaches the set temperature within seconds and continues for as long as the tap remains open. Because there is no storage tank, there is no standby heat loss and no “running out” of hot water.
Is a tankless system a good fit for homes in Turtletown?
Yes. Turtletown’s moderate climate keeps incoming water temperatures well within the performance range of modern tankless units. We check your home’s gas line size, venting path, and water chemistry. If your water is moderately hard (common in Polk County), we recommend installing a pre-filter or scale-inhibiting device to protect the heat exchanger. We also ensure the unit meets Tennessee plumbing and gas codes and handle all permitting for you.
What size (flow rate) tankless water heater do I need?
Sizing is based on two factors: (1) the maximum number of fixtures you might run simultaneously—such as two showers and a dishwasher, and (2) the temperature rise, which is the difference between groundwater temperature (about 55 °F in Turtletown) and your desired output (typically 120 °F). We calculate the required gallons per minute (GPM) during our in-home consultation. Most three-bath homes in the area need a 7–9 GPM gas unit; larger households or luxury bathrooms may require 11 GPM or a multi-unit cascade setup.
What does the installation involve and how long does it take?
A standard replacement—removing the old tank, mounting the new wall-hung unit, rerouting water and gas lines, adding a condensate drain (for high-efficiency models), and installing stainless-steel venting—usually takes one working day. We schedule city/ county inspections, register the manufacturer’s warranty, and haul away the old tank at no extra charge. If upgrades such as larger-diameter gas piping or an outdoor mounting enclosure are needed, we’ll outline the costs and add roughly half a day to the project.
How much can I save on energy bills with a tankless water heater?
Because a tankless unit only fires when hot water is demanded, it eliminates standby losses that account for 15–20 % of a tank heater’s energy use. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates typical households save 24–34 % if they use less than 41 gallons per day and 8–14 % for higher-use families. Gas models rated 0.95 UEF can cut $80–$120 per year off your utility bill in Turtletown. Many customers also qualify for TVA energy rebates or a federal tax credit of up to $600 on high-efficiency models.
What maintenance is required, and do you offer service plans?
To keep performance high and warranty valid, the heat exchanger should be flushed with a vinegar or citric-acid solution once a year (more often if your water is very hard). Air intake filters and condensate traps need an annual cleaning, and the gas burner should be inspected for proper combustion. Our Endless-Care Plan includes the yearly flush, full system check, priority scheduling, and 10 % off any future repairs for a low monthly fee. We’ll remind you when service is due and handle everything in about an hour.
