We provide a variety of tankless water heater services, including installation, replacements, and repairs:

Tankless Water Heater Repair Services

Tankless water heaters don’t usually have many problems, but when they do, it’s comforting to have a trusted technician that can provide fast and reliable repair services. There are a few things to look out for when diagnosing a water heater malfunction:

Fluctuating Water Temperatures

Does the water run hot, run cold, and run hot again? This issue can arise if your tankless water heater unit is undersized for the demand of hot water in your home. A poorly installed water heater can cause delays and inconsistent water heater temperatures.

Mineral Buildup

San Diego’s climate and water quality can have an impact on plumbing fixtures and appliances, and that includes tankless water heaters. San Diego is especially known for its hard water, which means it contains high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals may cause a sediment buildup in the unit’s heat exchanger. As the sediment sinks in the heat exchanger, they sometimes attach to the interior of the copper tubing. Over time, the build-up of particulates can cause the heat exchanger to overheat, resulting in a temporary system shutdown. It will stop operating until the system is fixed and reset. A whole-home water filtration system can also reduce the possibility of mineral buildup, lowering the number of potential water heater repairs.

Error Codes and System Overloads

If you notice an error code on your tankless water heater, it could mean there is an issue with the gas supply, ventilation, or ignition. It can be difficult for homeowners who aren’t familiar with the codes to troubleshoot and diagnose the problem, so please schedule an appointment with one of our experienced technicians to prevent further damage to the system. 

Sometimes the calculations for how much hot water your home needs can be incorrect, leading to the demand for hot water exceeding the capacity. If this happens and your system temporarily shuts down, our trusted technicians can help! Call us at (619) 853-5676 for an expert diagnosis of your water heater capabilities, a prompt repair, and a consultation on installing or replacing your existing water heater with one that can handle the extra demand for hot water. 

Tankless Water Heater Replacement Services

There are a few reasons why you might want to replace your current water heater with a tankless one. If you are interested in saving energy and lowering your utility bills, a tankless water heater will do so by providing on-demand hot water. Tankless water heaters also have nearly twice the life expectancy of traditional water heaters, saving you costly installations in the long-run. 

When replacing your water heater, our technicians will do a full inspection of your home plumbing system and water lines. By working with you, they will calculate the demand for hot water in the household and suggest tankless models that have the capacity to meet the demand.

If you need an emergency hot water heater repair or other hot water heater services, our technicians have the expertise to assist and respond to your repair needs. We also offer  flexible financing options so you don’t have to worry about the hefty fees of an emergency repair.

Benefits of a Tankless Water Heater in San Diego

Tankless water heaters have many advantages over traditional water heaters, but also a few drawbacks. Generally, on-demand heaters are more expensive to install, but they last longer and use less fuel. There are many benefits of tankless water heaters that San Diego residents can take advantage of, including:

  • Energy Efficiency: According to the EPA, for households that use less than 41 gallons of hot water per day, tankless water heaters can be 24 to 34 percent more efficient than standard water heaters. Efficiency can even reach 27 to 50 percent with several point-of-use heaters. 
  • Less Storage Space: Tankless water heaters don’t have a tank and take up much less room than a traditional water heater. 
  • Unlimited Hot Water: On-demand water heaters heat the water as needed. They have a max simultaneous output but can go for as long as needed. 
  • Twice the Life Expectancy: On-demand water heaters typically run for about twenty years, nearly twice as long as traditional water heaters. 

So, what are the drawbacks of tankless water heaters? They are more expensive initially, though that is usually paid back in efficiency and longevity. They also tend to require more maintenance than standard water heaters. Their hot water output capacity does have limits, but if you plan for this and install a bigger unit or even more than one, this is easily overcome. 

Maintenance for Your Tankless Water Heater

Your water heater should be flushed to get rid of sediment at least once a year, but if you live in an area with particularly hard water, then getting your tankless water heater flushed twice a year will extend its lifespan and utility. Inspecting your water heater’s venting system at least once a year is standard practice. Our technicians do a professional job when venting your water heater, making sure to follow all the best practices and procedures. We offer affordable rates and excellent maintenance options, so reach out to us if you have any questions about picking a plan that works for you.

Answers to Your Tankless Hot Water Heater Questions:

Why should I upgrade to a tankless water heater?

You should upgrade to a tankless water heater because it gives you endless hot water on demand, more floor space for extra appliances and storage, lower utility bills, and water damage is minimized as tankless water heaters don’t store an enormous amount of water (so a leak or crack won’t flood the living space).

How often do I have to replace my tankless water heater?

With proper maintenance and care, you won’t have to replace your tankless water heater for 15-20 years, doubling the life expectancy of traditional tank water heaters (10-12 years).

How much can I save with a tankless water heater?

Tankless water heaters are 34 percent more efficient than standard water heaters, lowering your energy costs!
