WARNING SIGNS
Does Your Tankless Water Heater Need to be Replaced?
One of the main benefits of a tankless water heater is that they do have a longer lifespan than most other models of water heaters. However, eventually the time does come to replace your tankless water heater. Here are some indicators to look out for to know if your tankless water heater needs to be replaced:
Banging or Knocking Sounds
It is normal to have some noise coming from your tankless water heater. However any loud banging, grinding, or knocking sounds coming from your home’s tankless water heater system is a sign that a replacement may be necessary.
Fluctuating Water Temperature
In the event that there may be a major issue with your home’s tankless water heater, the water temperature throughout your home will likely fluctuate dramatically.
Frequent Repairs Required
No matter the major appliance in your home, if frequent repairs are needed, we know that the unit’s lifespan is likely to be coming to an end. As your tankless water heater ages and more frequent repairs are needed, a replacement unit should begin to be considered.
Weak Water Pressure
If you have weak water pressure throughout your home, your tankless water heater may be to blame. Your tankless water heater can be causing your home to have weak water pressure due to a blockage in the system that makes it difficult to repair.
Unexplained Increases in Energy Bills
One of the main purposes of a tankless water heater is reduced energy bills. Unexplained increases in your monthly energy bills can be due to a malfunction with your tankless water heater that necessitates a replacement.
