FAQs
What advantages does a tankless water heater offer over a traditional storage-tank heater?
Tankless units heat water on demand, so you never run out of hot water, even during back-to-back showers. Because there is no standby tank, you can cut water-heating energy use by 25–40 percent, lowering monthly utility bills. Tankless models are wall-mounted, freeing up floor space, and their average life span (20+ years) is nearly double that of storage tanks. They also reduce the risk of tank leaks and related water damage.
How do I determine the correct size (flow rate) for a tankless system in my Walland home?
Sizing is based on simultaneous hot-water demand and incoming water temperature. We calculate the total gallons-per-minute (GPM) your fixtures may require at peak use—e.g., shower (2 GPM) + dishwasher (1.5 GPM) + washing machine (2 GPM) = 5.5 GPM. Then we factor in Walland’s average winter groundwater temperature (about 50 °F) to ensure the heater can raise it to 120 °F. Our technician will perform a load calculation during an in-home visit and recommend a unit—usually 6–9 GPM for most three-bath Walland homes.
How long does a professional tankless installation take, and will I be without water?
A straightforward replacement of a gas or electric tank with a new tankless unit generally takes 4–8 hours. If gas line upsizing, venting, or electrical upgrades are required, the job may extend to a full day. We schedule installations so you are rarely without water for more than 2–3 hours. We will inform you beforehand if additional work could increase downtime.
Are tankless water heaters truly more energy-efficient, and how much can I save?
Yes. Because they heat water only when it’s needed, tankless heaters eliminate standby losses that plague storage tanks. ENERGY STAR-qualified units can achieve efficiencies of 0.90–0.99 UEF (Uniform Energy Factor). Depending on your household’s usage and fuel costs in Blount County, homeowners typically save $80–$150 per year on natural gas or electricity. Over the unit’s lifetime, that can add up to $2,000 or more in savings.
What routine maintenance does a tankless water heater require?
To maintain efficiency and keep your warranty valid, flush the heat exchanger annually (or twice a year if you have hard water) to remove mineral scale. The process takes about 45 minutes and involves circulating a vinegar or descaling solution through the unit. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include this flush, full diagnostics, and inspection of the venting, gas pressure, and water filters.
Will my existing plumbing, gas, or electrical system need upgrades?
Sometimes. Gas tankless units often need a larger ¾-inch gas line and Category III or IV stainless steel venting. Electric models may require a 200-amp service panel and dedicated 40–60 amp breakers. During your free estimate, we inspect your home’s plumbing, gas, venting, and electrical infrastructure and provide a clear, itemized quote for any necessary upgrades in compliance with Walland and Blount County codes.
