Tankless water heaters are an incredibly efficient water heater choice for homes throughout Illinois. They are highly effective and can often be a superior choice to storage tank water heaters. Tankless models warm your water instantly and you never have to worry about running out and waiting for a tank to refill.

Albeit convenient, these systems don’t come immune to problems. Perhaps you’ve noticed a few troubling symptoms and have wondered if your tankless water heater is starting to fail you. Keep reading for a few indicators that you might have a tankless problem which needs repair.

Leaks

Is your tankless water heater experiencing leaks? Be sure to check around the base of your system for puddles, and also pay attention to whether or not there is a drop in water pressure. Typically the latter is caused by a more serious leak, but it’s a sign to watch for nonetheless. Leaks can be dangerous as they lead to damages within the other components of your tankless water heater.

Lack of Hot Water

If your tankless water heater isn’t producing hot water, or isn’t producing it hot enough, this is a definite sign of trouble. You might have a problem with the heating array, or it could be an issue with your fuel source, no matter if that source is gas or electric.

Strange Noises

Water heaters should not make noise. Well, okay, they all make a little noise, but if you’re noticing gurgling, bubbling, groaning, or hissing sounds that weren’t there before then you likely have an issue on your hands. When you hear this, be sure to shut your water heater off right away and call for repairs.

While the above mentioned factors could simply mean that you need to call in for repairs, when coupled with an aging system, it could very well mean that your tankless system is ready for replacement. To determine if this is the case and to take advantage of our current water heater promotion, be sure to call our professionals today.
