Despite the many advantages of tankless water heaters, they do come with a few cons. Firstly, they come with a higher initial expense compared to conventional heaters. Installation can be more demanding, sometimes requiring modifications to your home's gas line or electrical system. A standalone tankless unit may struggle to produce sufficient hot water if multiple outlets are in use simultaneously. While tankless water heaters are engineered to minimize the effects of hard water, they are not entirely immune to them. Our routine plumbing maintenance will help keep your tankless water heater operating at peak performance.

In theory, it's possible to flush a tankless water heater on your own. However, it's safer and more effective to let professional technicians handle it. Flushing involves running a descaler through the system to get rid of mineral buildups. Flushing is best performed by our trained service professionals.

On average, gas tankless heaters tend to have a longer lifespan compared to their electric counterparts, which tend to experience more technical issues. Interestingly, whole-house electric tankless water heaters are not the best performers in energy efficiency. However, harnessing solar power for an electric tankless system can offer significant energy savings. Gas tankless heaters boast of an energy-star rating and display impressive energy efficiency levels, up to 99%.

Tankless water heaters generally last between 15 and 25 years, outlasting the typical lifespan of standard models. However, the longevity of your unit largely depends on proper maintenance. Heat exchange type, water quality, and usage frequency can all influence the life of your tankless heater.
