Efficiency and Benefits

Tankless water heaters are a modern alternative to traditional tank-based units. While both provide your home with hot water, tankless water heater benefits include the following:

  • On-demand hot water: Tankless units heat water instantly, so you don’t have to wait for your hot shower or bath.
  • Energy efficiency: Unlike storage tank heaters, tankless units don’t waste energy heating water you don’t need. This translates into reduced energy consumption and utility costs.
  • Compact design: Modern tankless units have a compact footprint, enabling them to fit into smaller spaces.
  • Longer lifespan: Tankless heaters tend to last longer than conventional tanks, saving you money in the long run. 

Common Tankless Water Heater Issues

Although tankless water heaters offer many advantages, they can suffer from wear and tear like any other appliance. Common problems include the following:

  • Mineral buildup: Hard water can deposit calcium and magnesium in your system, lowering efficiency, creating blockages, causing leaks, and reducing the unit’s lifespan.
  • Fluctuating temperatures: Dirty filters, flow problems, sediment buildup, and faulty sensors may lead to sudden changes in water temperature.
  • Electrical or gas-related issues: Electrical glitches or gas ignition problems can disrupt your water heater’s operation.
  • Water leaks: Water heaters can experience leaks in supply lines, valves, and the units themselves.

If you notice excessive noise, strange smells, inconsistent water temperatures, or other issues, call Covenant Plumbing for prompt repair services. Regular attention improves tankless water heater efficiency, effectiveness, and longevity.

DIY Troubleshooting and Safety

If you notice minor issues with your tankless water heater, you can start with the following basic troubleshooting steps. To ensure safety, turn off your water heater’s power sources and gas lines before attempting any DIY solution.

  • Cleaning filters: Cleaning or replacing filters helps maintain water quality and flow rate.
  • Inspecting for obstructions: Visually check that your water lines and plumbing fixtures are free from blockages.
  • Adjusting temperature settings: If the water is too hot or too cold, you may need to change the temperature setting.
  • Checking error codes: Modern tankless water heaters have control panels to alert you to problems like exhaust blockages, power interruptions, and ignition failures.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, or if you just feel more comfortable working with a professional, contact Covenant Plumbing for expert tankless water heater repair services.

Professional Installation and Maintenance

Installing a tankless water heater is more complicated than installing a standard tank heater. It often involves working with gas lines, electrical connections, and other potentially dangerous components. 

Hiring professional plumbers for tankless water heater installation services is crucial to preventing mistakes, maintaining safety, and maximizing your investment. The licensed technicians at Covenant Plumbing will do the following:

  • Choose the correct water heater size for your needs 
  • Ensure the proper placement in your home
  • Professionally install your unit following local plumbing and electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines
  • Calibrate your system for optimal performance and energy efficiency
  • Perform routine maintenance services, including descaling to remove mineral buildup, to keep your system running efficiently and maximize longevity
  • Provide 24/7 emergency repairs if you have urgent issues like water leaks or excessively hot water

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tankless water heaters low maintenance?

Yes, tankless water heaters are typically low maintenance. However, you should still schedule annual preventative HVAC maintenance to keep your system running optimally. 

Are tankless water heaters worth it?

You may find tankless water heaters worth it for their energy efficiency alone. Tankless models could save you 8% to 50% in energy costs, depending on how much water you use. However, they cost significantly more upfront than standard water heaters. The experts at Covenant Plumbing can help you evaluate whether a tankless water heater makes sense.

We a positive experience with Covenant Plumbing. Our hot water heater went out after hours. I called Covenant's 24 hour hot line and made an appointment. Promptly the next morning, Cameron and Christopher arrived at our home. In a short period of time, they provided me with the information required to remedy the situation. The same day they installed a tank less water heater and we had hot water the same day! Cameron and Christopher were very respectful of our property and extremely great to work with. In the future, I will not hesitate to call Covenant if plumbing problems arise.Mike Mounce

Professional, communicative, and thorough. We had a basement drain/sewer clog caused by roots imm the pipe leading to the street sewer. Ended up at around a $3k job.My only complaint is that as the job progressed, it would of been nice to see some of the smaller charges here and there waved as their profit margins increased with the size of the job.

We recently had a water/sewer related emergency in our basement that caused a lot of damage and needed to be addressed immediately. Covenant Plumbing responded to our call within an hour or two, corrected the cause of the backup & helped us locate a business that does cleanup & remediation of the damage. Cameron, one of their plumbers (as well as other employees), served as our primary contact & was so very helpful in addressing our problems.Since then we have needed to replace/repair other plumbing fixtures & contacted Covenant Plumbing to do the work. As before, they responded quickly & accommodated the dates we requested work to be done. We asked specifically for Cameron to do the plumbing since he had been so professional & helpful before & we were very happy with the results.We highly recommend Covenant Plumbing & will continue to use them (& to ask for Cameron) for any of our plumbing needs.Betty & Gary Beatty

Found Covenant Plumbing online. Called them for a non-emergency issue and requested a service call at 3:30 on a Friday afternoon for my Mother in law. Scheduled for the following Monday afternoon. Received a text Monday morning asking if ok to come early. Of course. It was a easy fix. Colton and his partner (sorry, didn't catch his name) were great. Speedy service, fair pricing and good advice. Couldn't ask for any better. Thank you!!!

Shane installed a whole house filter in my basement last Wednesday. On Friday, I saw that there was water under the filter and along the wall. I mistakenly assumed that the filter was leaking. It was the Friday afternoon before Labor Day, and when I called, they said they couldn’t come to check it until Tuesday. I asked if they didn’t have any emergency appointments, and she said, yes, they would get in touch with Shane and send him over. Almost immediately after I hung up, Shane was at my door. He immediately found the source of the problem, and it had nothing to do with his installation. A drain near the place the filter had been installed was plugged, and the water from the air conditioner was backing up. Shane removed the drain cover, got his snake drill, and opened the drain so that the water all went down. He was actually on his way home to leave for a weekend vacation, but he took the time to come and solve my problem, even though it was not caused by him or the filter he installed. Best of all, he did not charge me for this service. What great customer service!

I have used Covenant Plumbing for all of my plumbing needs for the last 8 years. Delayne and Lori are very responsive, trust worthy and reasonable. They installed a tankless water heater at my house. The unit itself had issues from the start and after contacting Delayne about the issues, they worked with the manufacturer to get a full unit replacement at no cost to me. I happily recommend Covenant to anyone with plumbing needs.
