TANKLESS WATER HEATER SERVICES

Tankless water heaters are smaller than conventional units and often mounted to the wall. These heaters save floor space and since they have no holding tank, greatly reduce the risk of water damaging your home. Adding a tankless water heater to your home often involves moving or extending existing piping, while for gas tankless water heaters specifically a safety vent may need to be installed. One of our knowledgeable technicians can help you decide which water heater is best for your home and take the confusion out of switching to an energy saving tankless option. 

While convenient, their smaller size and complexity does however mean they can be highly susceptible to mineral accumulations that cause damage and interfere with the heating elements. If your tankless gas or electric water heater isn’t producing hot water we can assess the cause and repair or replace the components needed. Our local plumbers are San Francisco water heater repair experts and can recommend a maintenance plan to keep your unit running smoothly, saving you from future repair costs and inconveniences.

Maintenance is a big determining factor for the longevity of any water heater, and for a tankless water heater it’s even more crucial as the smaller components can’t take the abuse a traditional model may withstand. To keep your tankless water heater running for its full 20 year lifespan, having a plumbing cleanout, often referred to as a flush, twice yearly is highly recommended. A flush clears out minerals that otherwise layer over your heating elements and cause internal damage. If filters aren’t changed, sediments aren’t flushed out, and the problem is left for too long, your tankless water heater could survive for only two short years as opposed to two decades.
