FAQs: What Liberty Families Ask Us

How does the water in Liberty affect my heater?

Local water sources can lead to mineral buildup (scaling) in the heat exchanger. We recommend a professional descaling service every 12 months to maintain peak efficiency and protect your 20+ year investment.

Can one unit handle my home's demands?

Yes, but precision sizing is key. We assess your household's peak water usage to ensure your unit provides continuous hot water even during the busiest mornings.

What happens to a tankless heater during a freeze?

Modern tankless heaters have built-in freeze protection. As long as the unit stays connected to power and gas, it will automatically prevent internal components from freezing.

How do I claim the 2025 incentives?

We provide all the documentation, including the dated sales invoice and efficiency ratings. You simply apply for CenterPoint rebates by Dec. 31, 2025, and file Form 5695 for your federal credit.

This process provides a continuous supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank.
