Tankless Water Heater Repair Bay City, MI

Tankless water heaters have several benefits compared to traditional models, including:

• Enhanced energy efficiency leads to lower operating costs
• Instant access to hot water
• Longer lifespan (more than double that of traditional models)
• Space-saving design
• Enhanced safety features
• Reduced risk of flooding due to malfunctions or wear

It depends. Traditional models with tanks can last between six years and a decade. With regular upkeep, tankless water heaters can last for up to 25 years!

Tankless water heaters are rated based on the gallons of hot water they can provide per minute. Options range from two to 12 gallons per minute. For most households, a flow rate of 5 to 10 gallons per minute is recommended.

Consider energy efficiency when selecting a unit. Electric models are suitable for up to 8 GPM, while gas models are better for higher demands; however, gas units come with typical gas appliance risks.

Various factors can cause temperature variations with tankless systems, such as:

• Cycling on and off leads to inconsistent temperatures in the pipes (cold water sandwich effect), which a hot water cycling pump can mitigate.
• Low water pressure triggers the gas burner shutoff in gas units – this could occur due to insufficient pressure from well systems.
• Clogged inlet filter screens reduce water flow and turn off the gas burner. Refer to your owner’s manual for guidance on cleaning frequency and procedures.
