The Advantages Of Tankless Water Heaters
- Unlimited hot water: Tankless water heaters provide a continuous supply of hot water, so you’ll never run out
- Energy efficiency: Tankless water heaters only heat water when it’s needed, rather than constantly heating and reheating a storage tank of water. This can result in significant energy savings
- Space-saving: Tankless water heaters are much smaller than traditional tank-style heaters, making them a good option for homes with limited space
- Longer lifespan: Tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan than traditional tank-style heaters, with some models lasting up to 20 years or more
- Environmentally friendly: Tankless water heaters use less energy, which can help reduce your carbon footprint
- Improved water pressure: Tankless water heaters can provide a strong, consistent flow of hot water, even in homes with low water pressure

Common Tankless Water Heater Repairs
- Mineral buildup: Scale from hard water collects in the heat exchanger and can cause temperature swings, low hot water flow and error codes. Flushing the unit removes it.
- Clogged inlet filter: Debris caught in the filter on the cold water inlet can reduce hot water flow or keep the unit from turning on.
- Ignition and flame problems: On gas units, a dirty burner or flame sensor, low gas pressure or an undersized gas line can keep the unit from lighting or staying lit.
- Venting problems: A blocked or improperly installed vent can cause shutdowns and error codes.
- Sensor and control faults: A failing flow sensor or control component can keep the unit from responding when you open a hot water tap.
- Leaks and corrosion: Water around the unit or corrosion at its connections needs prompt repair to protect the unit’s electrical and gas components.
Before You Call
If your tankless water heater shows an error code, write the code down before you turn the unit off or reset it. The code helps your plumber diagnose the problem.
