// Posted by Crossville Heating and Cooling, Inc.

Homeowners across Crossville, Fairfield Glade, and surrounding areas are making the switch to tankless water heaters—and it’s easy to see why.

Traditional water heaters take up space, waste energy, and often run out of hot water at the worst time. Tankless systems heat water on demand, giving you a steady supply of hot water without the standby costs of a bulky tank. Whether you're tired of cold showers or simply looking to cut energy bills, a tankless upgrade is one of the smartest moves you can make for your home.

Key Takeaways:

  • Unlimited hot water—heated instantly as you need it
  • Compact design saves space in your utility area
  • High efficiency = lower energy bills
  • Longer lifespan than traditional tank-style heaters
  • Installed by Crossville’s most trusted HVAC and plumbing team

Why More Families Are Upgrading to Tankless

In growing communities like Lake Tansi, Pleasant Hill, and Homestead, homeowners are looking for modern solutions that deliver comfort and savings. Tankless water heaters provide both. Unlike traditional tanks that constantly heat stored water, tankless systems kick in only when you turn on the tap. That means you're not paying to keep 40+ gallons warm 24/7.

Plus, since tankless heaters never “run out,” larger families or homes with multiple bathrooms see a noticeable difference right away.

Efficiency, Performance, and Peace of Mind

Tankless water heaters aren’t just more efficient—they’re built to last. Most systems run for 20 years or more with regular maintenance, which is nearly double the lifespan of a standard tank system. That’s real value, especially when paired with lower monthly energy bills and fewer repair calls.

Looking to reduce clutter? Tankless systems are small enough to mount on a wall or fit into tight spaces, freeing up room in your utility closet or garage.

Time to Replace? Here’s How to Know

You may want to consider a tankless upgrade if:

  • Your current unit is 10+ years old
  • Hot water runs out quickly
  • Water heater is leaking, rusted, or noisy
  • Utility bills are creeping up
  • You’re remodeling, adding bathrooms, or planning to stay in your home long-term

FAQ

What is a plumbing inspection?

A plumbing inspection checks a home's plumbing system. This includes pipes inside and outside, like hose bibs, sinks, and toilets. It's a detailed check that goes beyond a simple home inspection.

FAQ

What is considered a plumbing emergency?

Plumbing emergencies include water leaks, burst or damaged pipes, and sagging or discolored ceilings. They also cover low water pressure, overflowing toilets, and clogged drains. Other issues are water heater failure, gas leaks, and sewage backups.

These problems can cause a lot of water damage, health risks, and safety issues. They need quick action by a professional plumber.

Why should you get a plumbing inspection?

Getting a plumbing inspection helps spot problems early. It shows the plumbing's condition to potential buyers. And it stops small issues from becoming big, costly ones.

Why is it crucial to address plumbing emergencies promptly?

It's important to fix plumbing problems fast to prevent water damage and mold growth. These issues can harm your home's structure and your family's health. Waiting can lead to expensive repairs later.

What are the types of plumbing inspections?

There are two main types of plumbing inspections. A visual inspection looks for leaks or problems with water and sewer fittings. A camera inspection uses high-resolution cameras to see inside pipes and the sewer line.

What are the common signs of a water leak?

Look out for wet spots on floors or walls, discoloration, and sounds of running water. These signs mean you might have a serious water leak. Ignoring it can cause more damage, mold, and structural problems.

What's included in a plumbing inspection?

A plumbing inspection checks sinks, toilets, and pipes. It looks at outdoor faucets and the water heater too. Sometimes, it includes a camera inspection of the sewer line.

What are the dangers of a burst or damaged pipe?

A burst pipe can spill hundreds of gallons of water quickly, damaging walls, floors, and furniture. It's often caused by freezing, corrosion, or high pressure. You need a professional plumber right away.

How much does a plumbing inspection cost?

A plumbing inspection usually costs about $200. Visual inspections are cheaper, but camera inspections can be up to $500. You might also need to pay for repairs if problems are found.

How can sagging or discolored ceilings indicate a plumbing issue?

Sagging or discolored ceilings suggest a hidden water leak. This can lead to structural damage and mold growth. These signs mean water has been leaking behind walls or ceilings for a while.

How often should you get a plumbing inspection?

Experts suggest getting a plumbing inspection every two years. If your home is over 40 years old, consider an annual check to keep the plumbing in good shape.

When is low water pressure considered a plumbing emergency?

Low water pressure is a problem if it affects many faucets or fixtures. It can be caused by a failing pressure regulator, clogged pipes, or municipal water issues. This needs quick action.

How can you prepare for a plumbing inspection?

There's no special prep needed, but knowing about any issues like slow drains or leaks is helpful. Tell the inspector about these problems before the inspection.

How can you address an overflowing toilet or clogged drain?

Try using a plunger or turning off the water supply to the toilet. But if it keeps overflowing, call an emergency plumber. They can fix it before more damage happens.

What are the benefits of regular plumbing inspections?

Regular inspections catch small problems early, avoiding big, costly repairs. They prevent water damage and ensure your plumbing works well. They can also make your home more appealing to buyers.

When is a malfunctioning water heater considered a plumbing emergency?

A broken water heater is an emergency if it has gas leaks or could cause water damage. Signs include no hot water, strange noises, or leaks. Call a plumber if you notice these.
