FAQs
What is a tankless water heater and how does it work?
A tankless (on-demand) water heater heats water only when you open a hot-water tap. Cold water travels through a heat exchanger—either gas-fired or electric—and is instantly heated to the set temperature. Because there’s no storage tank, you’re not continually reheating 40–50 gallons of water, which eliminates standby heat loss and frees up space in your utility room.
What are the key benefits of installing a tankless water heater in Vonore?
• Endless hot water—no more scheduling showers around a limited tank supply. • Lower energy bills—up to 30–40 % savings versus a standard tank because the unit only runs when hot water is needed. • Space savings—most units are wall-mounted and about the size of a suitcase. • Longer service life—20+ years versus 8–12 for tanks. • Cleaner water—no rusty buildup from a corroding storage tank. • Potential rebates—Tennessee utilities often offer incentives for high-efficiency upgrades.
Is my Vonore home a good candidate for a tankless unit?
Almost any home can be retrofitted, but a quick site visit lets us verify gas line capacity (for gas models), electrical requirements (for electric models), venting routes, and expected hot-water demand. Larger households or homes with simultaneous high-flow fixtures may need a higher-capacity unit or multiple units in parallel. We provide a free sizing assessment to ensure you’ll always get enough hot water without overspending on equipment.
How long does installation take and will my water be off during the process?
A straightforward replacement of a gas tank with a new gas tankless unit typically takes 4–6 hours. Converting from electric or relocating the heater can extend the job to a full day because we may upgrade gas lines, run new venting, or add a dedicated electrical circuit. We’ll shut off water and gas only during the final tie-in—usually 1–2 hours—so household disruption is minimal. We schedule installations at your convenience and always leave the work area spotless.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a tankless system?
Savings depend on water usage, fuel type, and unit efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates typical families save $80–$100 per year, while heavy‐use households may save 30–50 % on water-heating costs. In Vonore, natural-gas rates are favorable, so gas tankless units often pay for themselves in 6–8 years. We’ll provide a customized cost-of-ownership comparison so you can see your exact numbers before you commit.
What maintenance does a tankless water heater require, and do you offer service plans?
To keep performance high and warranty valid, manufacturers recommend an annual inspection and descaling flush to remove mineral buildup—especially important with East Tennessee’s moderately hard water. We offer a low-cost annual service plan that covers descaling, filter cleaning, diagnostic checks, and software updates. Plan members receive priority scheduling and a 10 % discount on any future repairs.
