Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my tankless water heater not producing hot water?
Several issues can prevent your tankless unit from heating water properly, including a tripped circuit breaker, gas supply problems, clogged inlet filters, or a malfunctioning flow sensor. Error codes displayed on the unit help pinpoint the specific problem for quick diagnosis and repair.
How do I know if my tankless water heater needs repair?
Common signs include fluctuating water temperatures, longer wait times for hot water, unusual sounds, visible leaks, error messages, or reduced water pressure. Scheduling a professional inspection prevents small issues from growing into expensive failures.
How often should a tankless water heater be serviced?
Most manufacturers recommend annual service for tankless systems. Regular maintenance includes flushing the heat exchanger, checking gas connections, inspecting electrical components, and testing safety features.
Is tankless water heater maintenance necessary?
Routine maintenance significantly extends your system’s lifespan and prevents unexpected breakdowns. Mineral deposits from hard water accumulate inside the heat exchanger over time, reducing efficiency and potentially causing damage if left unchecked.
What is the lifespan of a tankless water heater?
With proper maintenance, quality tankless water heaters typically last 20 years or longer, often outlasting traditional tank models.
How long does a tankless water heater installation take?
Installation time varies based on your home’s configuration and required code compliance upgrades. In many cases, a new tankless water heater installation takes four to eight hours. Replacing an existing tankless unit typically takes less time than a new installation.
Why does my tankless water heater go hot then cold?
Temperature fluctuations happen when hot water demand drops below the minimum flow rate or when multiple fixtures cycle on and off rapidly. Mineral buildup restricting the heat exchanger, undersized units, or issues with the mixing valve can also cause this problem.
Should I descale my tankless water heater every year?
Annual descaling is highly recommended in El Cajon, where hard water is common. Calcium and magnesium deposits accumulate inside the heat exchanger, reducing efficiency and eventually causing system failures if not removed regularly.
Are tankless water heaters good for El Cajon’s hard water?
Tankless water heaters work well in El Cajon despite our hard water, but they require more frequent maintenance. Installing a water softener can reduce mineral buildup.
