Frequently Asked Questions
What Causes a Tankless Water Heater to Lock Out or Shut Down?
A common cause for a tankless unit to lock out is a severe restriction in water flow, often due to mineral buildup or scale inside the heat exchanger. The unit also shuts down if it detects a problem with the combustion process, such as inadequate air intake or improper venting, to prevent safety hazards like carbon monoxide buildup. Electrical issues, including a failing circuit board, faulty sensor, or communication error between components, will also trigger a lockout. Furthermore, the unit will stop operating if it senses that the outgoing water temperature is dangerously high or if the gas supply is insufficient to meet its demand. These safety features are designed to protect both the unit from damage and the homeowners from harm.
How Long Does a Typical Tankless Repair Take?
The duration of a tankless water heater repair depends on the nature and complexity of the failed component. Many straightforward repairs, such as replacing a simple flow sensor, a small circuit board, or clearing a minor vent blockage, can often be completed in as little as one to three hours. If the unit requires professional descaling or flushing to remove heavy mineral buildup, the service appointment will generally take longer, typically between two and four hours. However, repairs involving major components, such as a new heat exchanger or a main control board, can take longer and may require a follow-up visit if a specific proprietary part needs to be ordered.
Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Unit?
The decision to repair or replace your tankless unit largely depends on its age and the expense of the repair. Tankless units have a much longer lifespan, typically 20 years or more, so repair is usually the better option if the unit is relatively young. You should consider replacement if the unit is approaching the end of its projected lifespan and the repair cost exceeds 50% of the price of a new unit. Additionally, if the unit suffers a catastrophic failure, such as a major leak in the heat exchanger, replacement is often the only viable choice. Always consult your technician for a financial assessment based on the unit's age and repair history.
Does Regular Maintenance Help Avoid Future Costly Repairs?
Yes, regular maintenance is absolutely crucial for tankless water heaters and is the best way to prevent future costly repairs. The most important preventive measure is having a professional descaling or flushing service performed annually, especially in areas with hard water, such as Springfield. This service removes mineral scale buildup, which is the primary cause of efficiency loss and component failure in tankless units. By maintaining clean internal components, the system operates efficiently, reducing strain on the burner and other expensive parts. Consistent maintenance not only saves you money on energy bills but also ensures your manufacturer's warranty remains valid.
