Signs You Need Tankless Water Heater Repair
It’s important to promptly address tankless water heater failures to prevent excess damage to your plumbing. Signs you need tankless water heater repair include:
- Fluctuating water temperatures: If your water temperature is inconsistent, it may indicate a broken flow sensor or dirty water filter.
- Reduced hot water pressure: A noticeable decrease in hot water pressure is often caused by mineral buildup from hard water. You need water heater repair and potentially a water softener.
- Strange noises: Unusual sounds such as clicking, banging, or rumbling coming from your tankless water heater can be a sign of a faulty pressure valve, dirty flow sensor, or inadequate ventilation.
- Error codes on display: Modern tankless water heaters often have a display panel that shows error codes when something is wrong. If you see these messages, it’s time to contact a professional.
- Leaks: You may not have to worry about tank leaks, but valves, connections, and piping can still leak. Act quickly to minimize water damage.
Tankless Water Heater Repair vs. Replacement
While we always strive to provide the most cost-effective repair solution, in some cases, a tankless water heater repair may not be sufficient to restore your system’s functionality.
Our team will carefully assess your unit to determine whether repair or replacement is the better option. In general, we may recommend tankless water heater replacement instead of repair when:
- Your unit is older than 15 years old.
- You need frequent or recurrent tankless water heater repairs.
- Your system is undersized and can’t provide enough hot water.
- The cost to repair your system is 50% or more than the cost to replace it.
