Instead of storing water in large tanks, tankless water heaters heat water with a heat exchanger when the water flows through the system. Homeowners can choose from point-of-use models or whole-house units, and they must be diligent about regular maintenance so that their water heaters don't age prematurely.

Common Tankless Water Heater Repairs

As a San Diego homeowner, you might encounter the following problems that require tankless water heater repairs:

  • Worn-Out Heating Element - If a heating element is damaged beyond repair, then a replacement is necessary. This tankless water heater repair involves turning off the power at the control panel, opening a hot water tap to siphon out some of the water, and draining the hot water into a bucket. The wire at the top of the element and then the old element will be removed. A new O-ring and heating element will be installed and tightened. Once these steps are complete, the water and power can be turned back on.
  • No Hot Water - If hot water isn't being produced, the power source and water supply should be checked to make sure that they're connected and turned on, and the shut-off valves should be checked to make sure that they're open.
  • Water Is Too Hot or Too Cold - The recommended unit temperature range is 120 to 125 degrees Fahrenheit. The filters and fixture aerators should be cleaned, and the temperature sensor should be firmly attached. The water heater might need to be descaled if significant scale buildup is present.
