Is Your Tankless Water Heater Causing Issues?

There are arguments for investing in a tankless water heater including the fact that it generates hot water only when you need it—and for as long as you need it—saving 27 to 50 percent of fuel costs over tank-type heaters. (A typical gas-fired tank wastes 40 to 50 percent of the fuel it burns.) Tankless water heaters take up much less space than storage water heaters as they heat the water directly. When you turn on the hot water, the cold water travels through a pipe and into the tankless water heater unit where it is heated by a gas burner or an electric element. This allows you a constant supply of hot water.

In this article, we’re going to discuss a few common issues that homeowners experience with their tankless water heaters. We have produced a short video highlighting some of these issues and ways to fix them below.
