Water Heater Installation and Repair
September 24, 2020
What do you need to know about Tankless Water Heaters?
Tankless Water Heaters have been around for several years, however, have become extremely energy efficient in the last 5-10 years. Not only do they prevent water from being stored in your attic or home they also minimize the gas usage to only use what you need when you need it. Tankless Water Heaters heat the water on demand and allow for continuous hot water once it reaches the destination it is
intended for. What brand of Tankless Water Heater Do you Install or Recommend? We install Navien Water Heaters. We are a Navien Certified Contractor and have been for several years. Our plumbers
have attended educational Navien training by the local Navien Reps so that we can provide top level support and diagnostics to our customers. Why do we prefer Navien over any other brand of Tankless Water Heaters?
We prefer Navien over any other brand for a number of reasons. Navein has a local rep with parts in stock so if our customer’s tankless
needs parts we can typically get them the same day and/or next day at the latest. This is important when trying to avoid disruption in the home or business. Navien honors their warranty and believes in taking care of their installers and customers of the installers. Navien doesn’t regularly change their parts and models so when parts are needed they are available and not discontinued. What is the Warranty on a Navien Tankless Water Heater? On all Navien Tankless Water Heaters that we install the customer gets a 15-year Warranty on the Heat Exchanger, a 5-year Warranty on Parts and a 2-year Warranty
on Labor.
How long does it take to install a Navien Tankless Water Heater?
It generally takes 4-8 hours to install a tankless. Several variables come into play based on the house and install. Are we removing only 1 tanked water heater or 2? If we are removing 2 tanked water heaters are they both in the same location? Are we installing the Tankless in July or December. The hotter it is outside the longer the install as our plumbers have to be careful to not get overheated while in the attic.
How much does a Navien Tankless cost to install?
Most installs range between $3,713-253-4810 - $4,713-253-4810-4810-4810 depending on how many
bathrooms and wet areas are in the home. How much hot water can a Navien Tankless run at the same time? The Navien NPE-240A is the model we install the most. That model is designed to run up to 10-gallons of water per minute. It can allow water to run continuously in 4 wet areas at the same time without running out of hot water (example: 2 showers, laundry, and dishwasher; or 4 showers at the same time, etc.) What are things I can do to have extend the life of my Navien Tankless Water Heater? A Tankless Water Heater Flush every two years will allow us to inspect the unit, flush it and ensure it is running at its intended capacity. While Navien does not require the flushes to keep the warranty it is not a bad idea for the plumber to look at and inspect the unit to ensure it is aging appropriately. Installing a Water Softener is another way to prolong the life of your tankless and all the appliances in your home that work with water (washing machine, dishwasher, ice maker, garbage disposal, etc.). In the South we live in an area where our water is
extremely hard. Over time calcium builds up in these appliances and can damage them and/or shorten their life span.
If you want to know how hard your water is and what we recommend call us at
