Custom Tankless Water Heater Installation
We recommend annual tankless water heater maintenance because most warranties require it. It’s also a good idea because it lowers operating costs, prevents repairs, and extends the equipment’s lifespan.
Maintenance includes a multipoint inspection and tightening loose connections. On-demand water heaters also need descaling to remove calcium deposits and air and water filter replacements.
It’s important to schedule tankless water heater repair services at the earliest signs of a problem, which can be subtle. We recommend tracking your energy usage month to month and year to year. Spikes in energy use can be the first signs of a malfunction. You also shouldn’t ignore slight changes to the hot water delay, water pressure, water quality, and so forth.
Perhaps the most common repair is descaling after the system has built up deposits over a long period. Inconsistent temperatures and changes to water pressure may indicate we need to calibrate or replace a flow sensor. If you have a fuel-fired system, we may need to calibrate the gas valve over time.
Any airflow obstructions can lead to many symptoms that don’t necessarily make the underlying cause obvious. Our team also handles significant repairs, such as replacing the heat exchanger on a model that’s still under warranty.
If you’d like to schedule a tankless water heater installation, we offer many models and can help you choose the ideal one. A common question is whether conversion requires any plumbing or electrical upgrades, and the answer depends.
Newer homes generally don’t need any special work. Older houses may require plumbing and electrical panel upgrades. We can often circumvent the plumbing upgrades through an outdoor installation.
Professional sizing for your new tankless water heater is paramount. If the flow rate is too low, you’ll experience water pressure issues and reduced energy efficiency. The flow rate you need depends on the fixtures and water-using appliances you want to run concurrently. Larger homes with more fixtures and major appliances tend to require a higher flow rate.
Another consideration is temperature rise, which is the difference between hot water and groundwater temperatures. The good news for Belleview homeowners is that Florida groundwater temperatures are relatively high. That means that it’s generally cheaper and easier to get a system with a high flow rate. That includes systems that provide more than needed, which can be handy for the holidays and other times when you’re hosting.
There are many benefits to investing in a tankless water heater:
- Reduced energy bills
- Longer equipment lifespan
- Practically endless hot water
- Smaller environmental impact
- Lower maintenance requirements
