Common Problems With Tankless Water Heaters

Although most tankless water heater problems can be avoided with diligent maintenance, not all can. Some of the most common tankless water heater problems we encounter include:

• Mineral accumulations – Minerals like calcium and magnesium, which are commonly found in hard water, can accumulate on the interior of pipes and heat exchangers in tankless water heaters, limiting water flow or blocking it completely. Normally, this can be prevented with regular flushing and proper water treatment, but it can still occur.
• Corrosion – With the combination of heat and moisture, corrosion can often occur in the heat exchanger or other components of the water heater, especially if the water is abnormally acidic.
• Combustion problems – A dirty burner, faulty thermocouple, or venting problems may cause the burners to shut down in gas or propane water heaters.
• Heating element failures – On electric models, heating elements can fail after several years of use, requiring a replacement.
• Insufficient hot water – If your tankless water heater has mineral accumulations, corrosion, or other problems, it may fail to provide enough hot water. Another cause may be a water heater that is undersized, requiring an upgrade or the addition of a secondary heater.
• Temperature problems – A thermostat or control circuit failure may cause the water to be too hot or too cold for comfort. Other causes may include plumbing problems or improper installation.

If you are experiencing any of these problems, contact our experts at The Witmer Company. We will diagnose your water heater and offer the best solution to needs, whether that is repairs, a replacement, or an upgrade.
