FAQs
Why should I choose a licensed Walland plumber to install my tankless water heater?
In Tennessee, state law requires water heater installations—especially gas-fired tankless units—to be performed or supervised by a licensed plumber. Our Walland-based technicians carry current state and local licenses, which means your installation meets building codes, manufacturer requirements, and safety standards. Using a licensed plumber also protects your warranty and ensures that gas, electrical, and venting connections are properly sized and tested for leaks.
How do I know what size (flow rate) tankless water heater I need for my Walland home?
Proper sizing depends on two main factors: (1) the maximum number of fixtures you may run at one time—showers, faucets, clothes washers, etc.—and (2) the groundwater temperature, which averages about 57 °F in the Walland area. We’ll calculate the temperature rise needed to deliver 120 °F hot water and total up the gallons per minute (GPM) demand of your fixtures. Most households in Blount County end up with a 7–9 GPM gas unit or a 4–6 GPM electric unit, but we perform an in-home assessment to give you an exact recommendation.
What is the typical cost of a professional tankless installation in Walland, and what does it include?
Total investment generally ranges from $3,200–$4,800 for gas models and $2,400–$3,600 for electric models, including: the unit itself, required venting or upgraded flue, gas line upsizing or electric service upgrades, water softening or filtration (if needed), permits, labor, and disposal of your old tank. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after our site visit so there are no surprises.
How long does the installation take and will I be without water during that time?
Most replacements are completed in one working day. We shut off water and, if applicable, gas or electricity for roughly 2–4 hours while we remove the old tank, run new lines, hang the tankless unit, perform system flushes, and pressure-test all connections. By the end of the day you’ll have hot water restored and we’ll pull the required inspection permit with Blount County Building Codes.
What maintenance will my new tankless water heater require?
Annual maintenance is simple but important. We recommend a yearly descaling flush with food-grade vinegar or a manufacturer-approved solution to remove mineral buildup common in Walland’s moderately hard water. We also clean the air and water filters, inspect the venting, and test burner efficiency (gas units). Our plumbing team offers affordable service plans that preserve your warranty and extend unit life beyond 20 years.
Can you convert my existing storage-tank water heater to tankless, and what changes will be needed?
Yes. Conversions are our most common project. We’ll evaluate your existing gas line size or electrical panel capacity, relocate water lines if necessary, and install stainless-steel or PVC venting through an exterior wall or roof. Because tankless units are wall-mounted, you’ll gain floor space and reduce standby heat loss. We handle the entire conversion—including permits and inspections—so you don’t have to juggle multiple contractors.
