WHEN TO REPLACE

When to Replace Your Tankless Water Heater

Tankless water heaters typically have a longer lifespan than traditional models, but replacement eventually becomes necessary. Here are the signs worth watching for.

Unusual Noises

While some noise is normal, loud banging or grinding sounds may indicate a need for replacement.

Inconsistent Water Temperature

Significant fluctuations in water temperature can signal a problem with your system.

Frequent Repairs

If your unit requires regular repairs, it might be time to consider a replacement.

Weak water pressure throughout your home could stem from blockages in the tankless system.

Age Beyond 20 Years

What to Consider Before Installing a Tankless Unit

Bassett Services technician at a customer home

Power demand. Tankless water heaters operate differently from traditional models, demanding more power because they heat water on demand rather than storing it. Your existing gas line or electrical service may need upgrading.

Lifespan. Tankless units last significantly longer than traditional heaters. With regular maintenance, gas models can operate efficiently for up to 20 years, which is a large part of why the higher upfront cost pays back.

Outdoor installations. If the unit is going outside, protection against the elements is critical. All components must be properly sealed and insulated.

Cost. Installation is a significant investment, potentially amounting to thousands of dollars, varying with the size of the residence and the work involved. We quote your project specifically.

What Should I Consider Before Having a Tankless Water Heater Installed?

Prior to installing a tankless water heater, it’s crucial to take several key factors into account. Tankless water heaters operate differently from traditional models, demanding more power due to their on-demand water heating capability. Furthermore, your choice of fuel source, natural gas or electricity, will significantly impact the initial installation expenses and ongoing operational costs.

Furthermore, meticulous inspection of the manufacturer’s installation instructions is essential, and adherence to these guidelines is vital for a seamless process. To guarantee safety and efficiency in operation, don’t forget to arrange for a certified plumber to inspect your tankless water heater post-installation. This inspection has a direct impact on the overall installation and operational costs.

Properly sealing and insulating all components is essential to prevent corrosion and potential damage.
