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.

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.

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:

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.
