Signs You Need To Replace Your Tankless Water Heater

Like most home appliances, tankless water heaters have a finite lifespan and will inevitably require replacement.

On average, tankless water heaters can last 15 to 20 years. However, your tankless system may require replacement sooner depending on:

  • Repair frequency: If your unit needs multiple repairs each year, a replacement may be the more cost-effective solution.
  • Energy efficiency: A notable decline in energy efficiency may indicate that you need a system upgrade to better accommodate your hot water needs.
  • Repair costs: If the cost to repair your tankless water heater is 50% or more than the price to replace it, an upgrade is best.

Tankless Gas vs. Tankless Electric Water Heaters

There are a few key differences between gas and electric water heaters:

  • Tankless gas water heaters offer higher flow rates, lower operating costs due to the lower price of natural gas, and better performance in cold climates. However, they have higher installation costs, require venting, and need more maintenance.
  • Tankless electric water heaters are more affordable and easier to install, require no venting, and fit in smaller spaces. However, they have lower flow rates and may need electrical panel upgrades if you don’t have any blank circuit breakers.

The choice depends on hot water demand, installation budget, space availability, and local utility costs. It’s often easiest to replace your tankless water heater with a new unit that uses the same fuel source.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tankless Water Heater Installation

Yes, tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient because they heat water on demand, eliminating the standby energy losses associated with traditional tank water heaters.

Tankless water heaters heat water directly as it flows through the unit using high-powered gas burners or electric coils, providing a continuous supply of hot water without the need for a storage tank.

To size a tankless water heater, calculate the maximum flow rate needed by adding up the flow rates of all fixtures that will be used simultaneously and ensure the unit can meet this demand with the desired temperature rise. Your plumber will help you size your tankless water heater.
