2026 Update: From Tax Credits to Instant Rebates
While the federal 25C tax credits ended in 2025, the 2026 South Carolina HEAR and HOMES programs are set to launch later this year, shifting the focus to point-of-sale rebates. Seneca residents will be able to access significant savings immediately upon installation rather than waiting for tax season. We stay current on Oconee County and Duke Energy incentive changes so you don't have to.

Water Heater Installation Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How long does a water heater installation take?
A: A standard tank-for-tank water heater replacement typically takes 2 to 4 hours. Converting from a traditional storage tank to a tankless system usually takes 6 to 12+ hours due to additional gas line sizing, dedicated venting modifications, and electrical hookups.
-
Standard Replacement (Tank-to-Tank): 2-6 hours (includes draining, hauling out, plumbing hookups, and pressure testing).
-
Tank-to-Tankless Conversion: 6-12+ hours (includes non-condensing/condensing venting runs, gas supply verification, and condensate drainage setup).
Q: What is included in a professional “up to code” installation from All Hot Water LLC?
A: Every installation is a 100% turnkey service covering delivery, safe removal and disposal of your old unit, code upgrades, and post-installation cleanup.
-
Delivery of the new Bradford White, Navien, or designated unit
-
Draining, disconnect, haul-away, and recycling of the existing tank
-
Installation of thermal expansion tank
-

-

-
Full system leak test, pressure test, and burner/element ignition verification
-
Complete site cleanup and user walk-through of temperature controls
Q: Is a thermal expansion tank required by code in Seneca and Oconee County, SC?
A: Yes. Under South Carolina plumbing code (based on the International Plumbing Code), thermal expansion tanks are required on all closed-loop domestic water systems. If your home has a backflow preventer, pressure reducing valve (PRV), or check valve installed on the incoming water supply from Seneca Light & Water or a local utility, an expansion tank is mandatory to prevent dangerous pressure spikes during heating cycles.
Q: What size water heater do I need for my home?
A: Tank sizing depends directly on household size and peak-hour hot water demand, whereas tankless sizing depends on flow rate (Gallons Per Minute / GPM) and groundwater temperature.
-
1–2 People: 30–40 Gallon Tank (or 5–6 GPM Tankless)
-
3–4 People: 50 Gallon Tank (Standard residential configuration across Upstate SC)
-
5+ People / Homes with Garden Soaking Tubs: 75 Gallon Tank or a high-output unit like the Navien NPE-240A2 (11.2 GPM max)
Q: Can I switch from an electric or standard tank water heater to a gas tankless system?
A: Yes. Tankless conversions are common across Seneca and the Lake Keowee area, but they require evaluating your gas supply line and exterior wall venting pathways. Tankless units require significantly more BTUs during operation than storage tanks, meaning your gas line from Piedmont Natural Gas or your propane provider may need to be upsized to maintain required pressure.
Q: Are rebates available for water heater replacements in Seneca, SC?
A: Yes. While the old federal Section 25C tax credit expired at the end of 2025, homeowners can still reduce installation costs through South Carolina utility rebates, state energy programs, and seasonal manufacturer promotions.
-
Local Utility Rebates: Electric customers served by Duke Energy or Blue Ridge Electric Co-op, as well as natural gas customers served by Fort Hill Natural Gas, often qualify for equipment-level rebates on high-efficiency heat pump or tankless units.
-
State Energy Programs: Qualifying income-eligible households may access state-administered efficiency rebates through South Carolina energy initiatives (such as HEAR/HOMES when active).
-
Manufacturer Incentives: Seasonal dealer rebates and promotional financing through Navien and Bradford White.

5 Star Rated on Google
“We live in Walhalla SC and were having issues with our hot water heater, located under the house, which was not heating up as hot as usual. Not knowing any plumbers in the area, I googled it and All Hot Water LLC appeared. I called and Jason answered. He came that afternoon and the problem was dire! He spent a hour or more checking the unit and explaining the problem and options for replacement. The unit was leaking, had wet the insulation, and was arcing causing a fire hazard! He purchased a new unit and replaced it early the next morning, working over 4 hours and making sure everything was functioning properly before leaving. He also disposed of the old unit. Jason is easy to work with, down to earth, has a strong work ethic, and obviously knows his business. Could not be more pleased with his service.”
