What's Included in Your Tankless Replacement

Your tankless water heater replacement includes professional removal of your old system, proper installation of the new unit, all necessary permits and code compliance work, and thorough testing to ensure everything works perfectly. In Wilton’s climate, we factor in your home’s specific demands. Larger properties often need higher-capacity units or multiple units for optimal performance. We size everything correctly the first time so you never run short on hot water. You also get our transparent pricing—the quote you receive is what you pay, period. No hidden fees for “unexpected” work that any experienced plumber should anticipate. Plus our warranty covers both parts and labor, so you’re protected if anything goes wrong.

How much money will I actually save with a tankless water heater in Wilton?

Most Wilton homeowners save between $300-400 annually on energy costs after switching to tankless. The exact amount depends on your family size and usage patterns, but Energy Star data shows average savings of $95 per year for a typical family of four. Over the 20+ year lifespan of a tankless system, you’re looking at $1,800+ in energy savings compared to traditional tank systems. Factor in California’s high energy costs and your larger home’s demands, and the savings add up quickly. The payback period is typically 10-15 years, but since these systems last twice as long as traditional water heaters, you come out ahead financially while enjoying better performance the entire time.

Can a tankless water heater handle my large Wilton home's hot water demands?

Absolutely, but proper sizing is crucial. Most Wilton homes need units that can deliver 8-10 gallons per minute or higher to handle multiple simultaneous uses—master bathroom shower, kitchen cleanup, and laundry running at the same time. We calculate your peak demand based on your home’s fixtures and your family’s usage patterns. Larger homes sometimes benefit from multiple units or a high-capacity single unit strategically placed for optimal distribution. The key advantage is that tankless systems never “run out” of hot water like tank systems do. As long as the unit is properly sized for your peak demand, you’ll have unlimited hot water no matter how long your teenager’s shower lasts.

What's involved in replacing my current water heater with a tankless system?

The replacement process depends on your current setup, but most installations require some electrical or gas line modifications, proper venting, and code compliance updates. If you’re switching from electric to gas or vice versa, additional work may be needed. We handle all permits, inspections, and code requirements. The installation typically takes 6-8 hours for a straightforward replacement, or up to a full day if significant modifications are needed. We’ll give you an exact timeline after assessing your current system. Most Wilton homes have adequate space and utilities for tankless installation, but we verify everything during our initial assessment. Our goal is to complete the job in one visit so you’re not without hot water overnight.

How long do tankless water heaters last compared to traditional tank systems?

Tankless systems typically last 20+ years with proper maintenance, compared to 10-15 years for traditional tank water heaters. This longer lifespan is one reason the higher upfront cost makes financial sense over time. The key to longevity is annual maintenance, especially in areas with hard water. We recommend yearly service to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance. This maintenance costs much less than premature replacement. Quality matters too. We install proven brands with strong warranties and local service support. A well-maintained tankless system installed correctly should serve your Wilton home for two decades or more, making it likely the last water heater replacement you’ll need.

Do tankless water heaters work well in California's climate and with our water conditions?

Tankless systems perform excellently in California’s climate. They’re actually more efficient here because incoming water temperatures are moderate year-round, requiring less energy to reach your desired hot water temperature. California’s hard water can cause mineral buildup in any water heating system, but tankless units are designed to handle this with proper maintenance. Annual descaling prevents problems and maintains efficiency—it’s much simpler than dealing with tank corrosion and sediment buildup. Many California utilities offer rebates for tankless installations because of their energy efficiency. Combined with federal tax credits, these incentives can offset much of the initial cost while supporting the state’s environmental goals.

What maintenance does a tankless water heater require in Wilton?

Annual maintenance is the key to long tankless water heater life. This involves descaling to remove mineral deposits, checking the venting system, and testing safety features. The process takes about an hour and prevents most common problems. In Wilton’s water conditions, descaling is particularly important. Hard water minerals can reduce efficiency and shorten system life if not addressed. We recommend scheduling maintenance each fall before peak usage season. Signs you need immediate service include reduced hot water flow, unusual noises, or error codes on the display. Most issues are preventable with regular maintenance, but we’re available 24/7 for emergency repairs when needed. Proper care keeps your system running efficiently for decades.
