TANKLESS WATER HEATER INSTALLATION
BY FYI CONTRACTING

Are you thinking about upgrading your home’s water heating system? Tankless water heaters are a great option for homeowners looking to
enhance energy efficiency, save space, and enjoy endless hot water. But before you make the switch, it’s essential to understand the process of
tankless water heater installation.

WHAT IS A TANKLESS WATER HEATER?

A tankless water heater, sometimes referred to as an on-demand water heater, heats water only when you need it. Unlike traditional storage water heaters that
store hot water in a tank and continuously heat it, tankless water heaters heat the water as it flows through the unit, providing hot water instantly.

These water heaters are powered by either gas or electricity and come in various sizes depending on the hot water demands of your household. Tankless water
heaters are an energy-efficient and modern solution, ideal for homeowners who want to reduce energy consumption and never run out of hot water again

HOW TANKLESS WATER HEATERS WORK

The operation of a tankless water heater is simple yet highly efficient:

Unlike traditional systems that store hot water, tankless water heaters only heat the water when it’s needed. This “on demand” approach reduces standby energy losses, making the system more efficient and cost effective

TYPES OF TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

Before diving into tankless water heater installation, it’s important to understand the two main types of units vailable:

POINT-OF-USE TANKLESS WATER HEATER

These smaller units are designed for specific fixtures, like a bathroom sink or kitchen faucet. Point-of-use water heaters are often electric and are perfect for areas where you need immediate hot water without waiting for a larger system to deliver it.

WHOLE-HOUSE TANKLESS WATER HEATERS

These larger systems are designed to supply hot water to multiple fixtures at once, such as showers, dishwashers, and washing machines. They are typically more powerful and often gas-powered, making them ideal for larger households.

BENEFITS OF INSTALLING A TANKLESS WATER HEATER

There are many advantages to installing a tankless water heater in your home. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key benefits:

Energy Efficiency

Since tankless water heaters only heat water when needed, they are far more energy-efficient than traditional systems. This efficiency can translate into lower utility bills and reduced environmental impact. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, tankless water heaters can be 24%-34% more energy-efficient for homes using less than 41 gallons of hot water per day.

Unlimited Hot Water

Unlike traditional water heaters, which can run out of hot water during heavy use, a tankless water heater provides a continuous supply of hot water. Whether you're taking back-to-back showers or running multiple appliances at once, you'll always have access to hot water.

Saves Space

Tankless water heaters are much smaller than traditional water heaters with bulky tanks. They can be mounted on walls or installed in tight spaces, freeing up valuable floor space in your home. This is especially beneficial for homeowners with limited space in utility rooms or closets.

Long-Term Savings

While tankless water heaters may have a higher upfront cost than traditional units, their long-term savings make them a sound investment. Lower energy bills and a longer lifespan (up to 20 years) help offset the initial installation costs.

Environmentally Friendly

Because tankless water heaters use less energy, they reduce your home's carbon footprint. Their energy-efficient operation not only saves you money but also helps the environment by lowering your overall energy consumption.

Reduced Risk of Leaks and Water Damage

Traditional water heaters can develop leaks or fail over time, leading to water damage in your home. Since tankless water heaters don't store water, the risk of leaks is significantly reduced. This gives you peace of mind and lowers the chance of costly repairs.

THE PROCESS OF TANKLESS WATER HEATER INSTALLATION

Now that you’re aware of the benefits, let’s look at what’s involved in the installation process. Proper tankless water heater installation is key to ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. It’s important to hirea licensed professional to complete the job, as improper installation

can lead to reduced efficiency or even safety hazards.

MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR TANKLESSM
WATER HEATERS

Like any major appliance, a tankless water heater requires routine maintenance to ensure longevi- ty and efficiency. Fortunately, these systems are easier to maintain than traditional water heaters, but regular upkeep is still essential.

DESCALING

Mineral buildup from hard water can reduce the efficiency of your tankless water heater over time. It's important to descale the system once a year to prevent limescale from forming inside the heat exchanger. Some models feature automatic descaling systems, but a professional can also per- form this maintenance.

ANNUAL INSPECTIONS

Regular inspections by a licensed technician help ensure that your tankless water heater is oper- ating safely and efficiently. Annual inspections can catch potential issues, such as gas leaks or venting problems, before they become significant hazards.

    I trust FYI for all my plumbing needs. My family had sewer issue and couldn’t use the toilets, washer or tubs in my home. Thanks to FYI plumbing they went to bat for me with the sewer insurance that I have. The owners made sure the work would be covered. Brian the plumber was knowledgeable and kept me informed every step of the process. Yvonne and Ashly made sure they coordinated dates and kept me informed of the scheduling process. All in all the work passes the city inspection and so far plumbing is working great! If you need a plumbing company that you can trust to get the work done correctly FYI is a safe reliable company to work with.

    I would rate FYI way above 5 stars if allowed. My relationship with them came about thru a home warranty service company n from the 1st contact with them setting up an appointment, to having Blake, repair service rep., coming out 2 check our furnance, 2 the end resulting badly due 2 a negative action on the part of the home warranty company. (American Waters home warranty, which I would give a minus stars to on two separate occassions. OUCH, Learned my lesson. Burn me once shame on U, burn me twice, shame on me. Changing home warranty companies) FYI Contractors has gone far above what would have been required under the circumstances.

    Brian and Isaiah did an amazing job on my plumbing issue’s. They were very thorough, explained every step of the repair and answered all my questions. The repair took more than one day because a permit had to be pulled. FYI was in constant communication with me every step of the repair. I would highly recommend them they were not only thorough and professional but very honest.
