Tankless Water Heater Repair Services in Washington, DC
Tankless water heaters are compact and highly efficient, reaching up to 98% efficiency whether powered by electric or gas, which virtually eliminates standby energy loss and helps lower monthly utility costs. They deliver reliable hot water to remote points of use, reducing water waste. At the same time, they wait to reach the faucet, which provides unlimited hot water as long as the energy source remains uninterrupted.
For added versatility, tankless combo units combine a water heater and boiler in a single system, providing home or business heating and hot water independently but simultaneously when needed.
Because they're less prone to sediment buildup and erosion than tank-type units, tankless water heaters typically last longer and require minimal maintenance—just draining 1 gallon of water every 30 days, compared to the more intensive upkeep tank-type heaters demand. On average, tankless units last 20 to 40 years, roughly double the 10- to 20-year lifespan of conventional tank-type water heaters.
We specialize in and stock parts for trusted tankless brands, including Navien, Rinnai, and Bosch.
When Does Your Water Heater Need Repairs?
One of the benefits of replacing your old storage tank water heater with a tankless water heater is that you probably won’t run into issues or repairs as often. However, they still can happen. Some of the issues you should watch out for include:
- Clogged outlets: Sometimes, mineral deposits can get inside your tank and clog the outlets. Hard water is one of the most common culprits. If you have low water pressure, this could be the problem.
- Corrosion: Corrosion is a dangerous symptom of serious issues, so always call a professional for repairs if you see any signs of corrosion. This is from leaks in the heat exchanger or a broken venting system.
- Standard problems: Your tankless water heater might also have trouble with common components, like the gas jets or the electronics.
