Many local homeowners are converting to tankless water heaters in Victor, ID, and Top Notch Heating and Plumbing is helping them do it. We’re Victor’s local plumbing company that installs residential tankless water heaters and makes sure that our customers choose their ideal equipment.
You can select either a gas or electric on-demand water heater. Many gas and electric heat pump instantaneous water heaters on the market have ENERGY STAR certification from the EPA. ENERGY STAR models are more efficient than standard models and may make you eligible for tax credits and energy rebates.
In an ongoing effort to deliver Top Notch Heating and Plumbing customer service, the company has narrowed its scope to focus solely on residential service, repair, and replacement. As a result, we only offer our outstanding services to residential property owners who desire something more than ordinary.
Several fuel configurations are available for tankless water heaters in Victor. There are systems that burn natural gas, fuel oil, or propane. Electric and electric heat pump on-demand water heaters are popular as well. Solar water heaters with either a gas or electric backup are also available. Which is best for you should be discussed with our plumbers. It will depend on your home, your usage, and fuel and electricity prices in your area.
Talking to us about sizing your system is also important. It’s different than with a tank water heater that holds so many gallons. When planning tankless water heater installation, you have to consider flow rate or gallons per minute (GPM) instead. There are some industry guidelines. Many plumbers, for instance, recommend no less than 7 GPM. That flow rate generally allows you to run three to four fixtures simultaneously.
Our plumbers can help you make more precise calculations. The average faucet and showerhead require 2.5 GPM. The industry typically recommends 2.5 GPM for a toilet and 1.75 GPM for a washing machine. If you want to use all these fixtures at the same time, you may need a flow rate between 9 and 10 GPM. The maximum flow rate for residential applications currently is about 11 GPM.
Tankless water heater installation does tend to cost more upfront, but you’ll make up for that over its lifespan. There can be some additional costs to consider for a first-time installation. If this is your first fuel-burning water heater, we’ll have to install an exhaust system. In the case of electric and electric heat pump systems, some homes may require upgrades to their electrical panels.
Another important consideration is a water-softening system. While not absolutely necessary, they do improve the performance and longevity of your home’s pipes and, of course, your newly installed tankless systems even more than tank systems. Whether you need one really depends on how hard the water in your home is.
There are many attractive aspects of a tankless water heaters installation:
High energy efficiency
Longer equipment lifespan
Lower total cost of ownership
Reduced monthly hot water costs
Practically endless supply of hot water
