What Is a Tankless Water Heater?

Tankless water heaters are high-powered units that take up less space and use less energy than their tank counterparts. As the name suggests, tankless water heaters do not store hot water in a tank; instead, these systems heat water on demand as it flows through your home.

Our Tankless Water Heater Services Tailored to You

No matter what your tankless heater request or issue is, our team at Fox always has your back. So, here’s a detailed list of services we can assist you with.

Tankless Water Heater Installation & Replacement

At Fox Plumbing & Heating, we specialize in tankless heater installation and replacement services designed to meet the unique needs of Seattle homeowners. A tankless system offers significant advantages over a traditional water heater, such as providing instant hot water, reducing energy consumption, and saving space in your home. Unlike old water heaters with a bulky storage tank, a tankless system heats water on demand as cold water flows through its heat exchanger. This ensures you never run out of hot water, no matter how many showers or appliances are running simultaneously.

When it’s time for a water heater replacement, our experienced plumbers will help you choose the best tankless system for your home, considering factors like your household’s hot water demands and energy efficiency goals. If you’re transitioning from a traditional water heater, we’ll handle every step of the process, from removal of your old water heater to the seamless installation of your new system. We also install heat pump water heaters for those looking for additional energy-saving options.

Tankless Water Heater Repair

In Seattle, WA, our skilled plumbers at Fox Plumbing & Heating are equipped to handle a wide range of common issues with tankless water heaters. These systems are designed to provide instant hot water efficiently, but like any appliance, they can encounter problems that require prompt attention. Even minor malfunctions can disrupt your daily routine, so it’s important to address issues quickly to maintain optimal performance.

We specialize in diagnosing and repairing a variety of tankless water heater problems, including:

• Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger: Hard water can leave mineral deposits in the heat exchanger, reducing efficiency and potentially damaging the system.
• Inadequate hot water supply: When your tankless system struggles to meet your household’s hot water demands, it may indicate a problem with the unit’s capacity, flow rate, or components.
• Inconsistent water temperatures: Fluctuations in water temperature can occur due to sensor malfunctions, clogged filters, or scaling inside the unit.
• Cold water sandwich effect: This issue, where bursts of cold water interrupt the hot water flow, is often caused by improper system settings or flow rate imbalances.
• Ignition or burner failure: If your system fails to heat water at all, the problem could be related to the ignition system or a faulty burner.
• Error codes or system shutdowns: Modern tankless water heaters include diagnostic features that display error codes, which our team can interpret and address efficiently.

Prompt repair not only restores your access to reliable hot water but also helps prevent more significant damage that could lead to expensive repairs or even the need for a complete water heater replacement. If you’re experiencing issues with your tankless system, contact Fox Plumbing & Heating for expert service and solutions.
