Our extensive experience proves our dedication and ensures that we’re well-equipped to handle any plumbing challenge, including the intricate process of tankless water heater replacement and installation.

Recognizing the warning signs that your tankless water heater needs repair can be tricky, but they often include fluctuations in temperature, unusual noises, or reduced flow. Our technicians bring a wealth of knowledge and use advanced technology to diagnose and repair these problems efficiently, prolonging the lifespan of your unit.

Tankless Water Heater Repair

When your tankless water heater starts acting up, immediate and professional repair services are crucial. From inconsistent water temperature to reduced water flow, various issues can signal your system needs attention, and a tankless system depends on proper water flow and clean internal components for consistent performance. Professional technicians can fix underlying issues before they lead to bigger repair problems.

Tankless Water Heater Replacement

Over time, even the best tankless water heaters can wear out and may need replacement. Our qualified technicians make the replacement process smooth and hassle-free, whether you are replacing an old water heater or a worn tankless unit with a model that better fits your home’s hot water demands and budget. We also help you choose the right capacity for reliable hot water without the limits of a storage tank or traditional tank water heaters.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Switching to a tankless water heater can greatly optimize your home’s energy consumption and provide endless hot water on demand. We consider various factors, including your home’s size, water demand, and energy-efficiency goals, and professional installation ensures proper sizing for efficiency by matching the unit to your household demand. Tankless heaters are rated by gallons per minute (GPM), which helps determine whether the system can heat water for your expected usage. For an electric tankless unit, installation may also involve electrical upgrades or other electrical work, while gas models require safe, code-compliant gas connections and attention to venting requirements.

Upgrade Your Hot Water Supply With Efficient Installations

The Benefits of a New Tankless Water Heater

Transitioning to a tankless water heater is an investment in your home’s future, offering immediate benefits like space savings and long-term energy savings. While there is a higher upfront cost tied to the advanced technology, the lower lifetime cost can make it worthwhile. Unlike traditional models with higher energy consumption, instantaneous water heaters heat water on demand and can provide unlimited hot water for daily routines like back-to-back showers. That said, like any water heater, its performance still depends on how many fixtures are drawing hot water at the same time.

Bob Larson Plumbing helps homeowners in Tacoma, WA, choose the perfect unit for their property, considering size, demand, and energy efficiency. The right solution for Tacoma homes depends on household demand, and electric tankless options do not always make sense in some residential settings. Our expertise makes selecting the best tankless water heater hassle-free and tailored to suit your unique needs and budget.

Tankless Water Heater FAQs

Even without a tank, minerals from hard water can build up on the heat exchanger over time, which is why annual descaling is recommended, especially in hard water areas. This process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Tankless water heaters generally do not use sacrificial anode rods because they do not have a large storage tank holding water. Instead, they use components like copper or stainless steel heat exchangers and other corrosion-resistant materials. Regular sediment flushing is still part of proper maintenance, and homes with Tacoma’s water conditions may need more frequent checks than average.

Error codes usually point to a fault in flow, ignition, flame, sensor, or venting. A clogged cold water inlet filter is a common culprit, since it restricts water flow and can trigger error codes on its own. Reduced flow can also signal scale buildup or general component wear, so it’s worth checking the inlet filter before assuming the unit needs professional service.

Yes, many common issues can be diagnosed with basic checks before scheduling a service call. Common problems include insufficient flow rate, ignition failures, and system overloads, and things like a clogged inlet filter are easy to inspect on your own. If those steps do not fix the problem, professional water heater services can diagnose the cause safely. That said, if basic checks don’t resolve the error, it’s best to bring in a professional rather than risk further damage.

Installing a water softener can significantly reduce future mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas. If a whole-home softener isn’t the right fit, we also offer a more affordable point-of-use ScaleGuard device made specifically for tankless units, which helps protect against scale on its own. Combined with annual descaling and regular sediment flushing, either option helps maintain efficiency and can help your unit reach its full lifespan.

Professional tankless water heater services help install the system safely and size it correctly for efficiency. Professional installation helps prevent gas leaks and code violations, including code-compliant gas connections, venting, and any required electrical work. Improper installation can also lead to weak flow rates, and DIY installation risks early failure of the unit entirely. Installation typically takes 4-8 hours for a new unit, and having it done correctly from the start protects your investment, helps the heater reach its expected lifespan, and supports reliable hot water for Tacoma homeowners in the Tacoma area.
