Precision Tankless Water Heater Repair
One of the most common issues with tankless water heaters in Commerce is limescale buildup. If you have soft to moderate water, your system can go five years without descaling. If you have moderate to hard water, you may need descaling annually or even twice a year. In fact, in these scenarios, we’ll often recommend installing a water-softening system. It will cost you more now but save you money overall by extending the life span of your water heater.
Another common issue is long wait times for hot water. The average system should take about 15 seconds to provide you with hot water. We’ve come across customers dealing with a two- or three-minute wait. That’s not normal. If it’s simply a matter of sizing and you’re not ready to replace, there are options. One is to install a recirculating pump. Another is to add a small secondary tank water heater.
These are often the solutions for the cold sandwich effect as well. This is when you’ll get hot water that’s interrupted by a burst of cold water. Many newer tankless systems now come with a recirculating pump as part of the core design. It eliminates this issue and most causes of long wait times.
Another common repair is replacing the thermostat. If it goes bad, it can manifest in a wide range of symptoms, including inconsistent water temperature.
Our plumbers are available to install tankless water heaters as well. We can replace tankless water heaters that are too old or expensive to repair. You can also convert to a tankless system from an older traditional tank water heater. Enjoy a virtually unlimited supply of hot water.
Getting size right is important when it comes to installing an on-demand system. This is something we can help you with based on household size but other factors, too, such as your appliances. The typical tankless system provides a flow rate of about 6 gallons per minute (GPM). For larger households, there are systems that provide as much as 10 or 11 GPM.
Other signs you may need repair or replacement include:
- Long wait times for hot water
- Discolored or bad smelling water
- Hot or cold water pressure issues
- Leaking no matter how seemingly minor
- Low pressure with multiple appliances running
