Tankless water heater installation in Alcoa does cost more than installing a traditional tank water heater. The benefit from a cost perspective is that the tankless system will last longer. The typical lifespan for a tank water heater is 12 years. It’s 20 years for a tankless water heater. Also, tankless systems are significantly more energy-efficient than tanked models, so you’ll save every month on your energy bills.
For water heaters, you have the option of gas, electric, or solar with electric backup. We’ll generally recommend natural gas or heating oil if you have the option, as the long-term costs are lower.
Gas systems also heat water quicker, allowing a faster flow rate. Electric systems are reasonably efficient as well but may require an electrical panel upgrade. This is not a cost you’d have to incur for future tankless water heater replacement.
There are two main considerations when sizing a tankless water heater: temperature rise and flow rate. The temperature rise is the difference in temperature between the water source and how hot you want your water.
The higher the rise, the harder the water heater has to work. Flow rate is the capacity of the system measured in gallons per minute (GPM). A system that provides 7 GPM is enough for the average household. Systems with between 10 and 11 GPM are available. You can also have multiple point-of-use tankless water heaters for homes with high demand.
We do recommend annual tankless water heater maintenance. That regular tankless water heater service will maximize the life of your equipment and lower your long-term costs.
It will also help avoid sudden failures. In the event a breakdown does occur, you can count on us for tankless water heater repair. We fix mineral buildup, blocked air supplies and exhausts, ignition failure, and much more.
