Frequently Asked Questions

Does a tankless water heater need flushing?

Yes. Mineral scale builds over time in a tankless unit which can lead to error codes and weak water flow. Regular flushing is a maintenance task that can extend the life of your unit.

Can a tankless water heater go where my tank heater is now?

Possibly. Though a tankless unit is more compact, there are venting requirements as well as a need for a strong connection to the gas line or electrical supply. The further it is from certain fixtures, the longer water will take to heat in those fixtures.

Why does my tankless water heater show an error code?

Error codes could be signaling airflow or venting problems, ignition failure, water flow issues, or overheating. You can try resetting the system to clear it, but if it returns, you should call for professional tankless water heater service.

Is it better to repair or replace a tankless water heater?

You always want to repair a system whenever you can if there is only one specific fault that is fixable. But if the system has reached the end of its lifespan, can’t keep up with household demand, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is the better option.

Is tankless water heater installation worth it in Sausalito?

It is different for every home. Tankless water heaters can heat water on demand, making them more efficient. They can also save a lot of space. But they require large gas and electricity supplies to keep up with demand and have very specific venting needs to operate safely.
