Your Santa Cruz Tankless Water Heater Service Company

Tankless water heaters are also known as “on-demand water heaters” as they heat water only as it is used. This type of system operates differently than traditional units that heat water stored in a large tank. In recent years, tankless systems have become popular among many homeowners because they offer faster access to hot water and can also help reduce energy costs.

Benefits of a Tankless On-Demand System

Installing a tankless water heater can help save you money over time due to its advanced energy efficiency. This is an attractive benefit for many homeowners. In addition, this unit style takes up far less space than a bulky traditional water heater and is ideal for smaller or tight spaces. Many homeowners also prefer to invest in a unit that will last for many years (sometimes between 20 and 25) instead of a traditional tank unit that may only last between 10 and 15 years.

Other benefits include:

• Improved safety
• Fewer malfunction issues
• It takes up less space
• Faster access to hot water (hot water on demand)

Although tankless water heaters offer many great benefits, there are also a few drawbacks. The cost of an on-demand system is higher upfront than that of a standard heater, and there may also be flow rate limitations.

We Specialize in Repair Services

Tankless water heaters are generally fairly reliable and break down less often than traditional tank units. However, as with any appliance, these systems can malfunction from time to time. Mr. Rooter Plumbing is highly qualified to identify common problems in your on-demand unit. Our experts can help promptly provide exceptional repair services. In addition, we offer emergency services if you are without hot water.

Tankless systems may make some noises as part of normal operations. These noises are generally fairly soft. However, if your unit makes extreme sounds, like grinding or whistling, it may be a sign that a repair is necessary. Problems with pressure relief valves or motor fans require assistance from a professional plumber.

The friendly and knowledgeable plumbing technicians at Mr. Rooter Plumbing will ensure your unit is properly installed and provide education on proper usage and maintenance for your new hot water system.

Tankless vs. Traditional

Each homeowner’s hot water heating needs differ, so there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to selecting the best water heater. Homeowners who want to spend less money up-front to get a water heater may prefer a traditional tank-style unit. On the other hand, choosing a tankless system may be a smarter investment for those who want to save money in the long run and purchase a water heater that will stay operational for many years.
