Petaluma homes range from older West Side properties to newer East Side neighborhoods, and the plumbing behind the walls can vary just as much. A tankless water heater needs the right gas supply, water flow, venting, electrical connections, and sizing to perform properly. John Owens Services has served Marin & Sonoma County since 1986, and our team evaluates the complete system before recommending the next step.
Tankless water heaters are fantastic energy-efficient improvements for older homes, but the installation requirements may be more extreme, since older structures may need serious upgrades.
Tankless systems need a larger gas line than traditional tank water heaters because of their heavier fuel requirements.
The exact size of your tankless water heater will have to be determined by a professional after examining things like the size of your home and your hot water requirements.
Yes! Tankless units that are specifically built to withstand outdoor conditions are a great way to save indoor space.
While both options have their energy-efficient benefits, the right fit will depend on the structure and needs of your home.
If you’re noticing inconsistent temperatures, low water pressure, frequent error codes, or even unusually high water bills, these could be signs of mineral buildup.
This could be because the flow rate of your shower heads exceeds the maximum demand of the unit. It might also be because of scale buildup, colder water coming into the unit during the winter, or an undersized gas line.
Most likely because the system found an internal safety issue and shut off. This could be from venting issues, mineral buildup, a gas supply problem, or a power surge.
Clogged filters, low water flow, or a “cold water sandwich” (hot water ebing turned off for a moment and then back on, sending a burst of cold water through the pipes) are all possible explanations for this occurence.
