Types of Hot Water Heaters
There are two common types of water heaters: tank-type and tankless. Each type is available in both gas and electric options. We recommend a tankless unit for better energy efficiency and lower maintenance. Our water heater installers are experts in both types and will help you select the best option for your home or business.
How Do Tankless Water Heaters Work?
Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, function only when needed. Unlike traditional water heaters, which continuously heat large amounts of stored water, tankless models heat water only as it flows through the unit.
These heaters use natural gas or propane to heat water on demand. When you turn on a hot water faucet, the heater begins warning the water as it passes through the heat exchanger. Once you turn off the faucet, the unit shuts down and consumes no energy.
Tankless Water Heater Repair
Hot water is essential in your home. If your tankless water heater isn’t working, contact a professional for a quick fix.
Not just any plumber can perform tankless water heater repairs in Little Rock — you need an experienced contractor. BR McGinty’s licensed plumbing technicians will diagnose and repair any tankless water heater issue. We work with all brands, including Noritz, Navien, Rheem, Rinnai, GE, Bosch, EcoSmart, Powerstar, Steibel Eltron, State, and more.
Some common tankless water heater problems include:
- Overload: Too many simultaneous hot water uses can overwhelm the unit, causing performance issues. If this happens frequently, consider upgrading your system or adding a second unit to meet your needs.
- Mineral or Sediment Buildup: Hard water can lead to scaling and blockage in pipes, affecting water pressure and temperature. Regular maintenance is essential for tankless units to prevent these issues and ensure optimal performance.
- Blocked Air Supply or Exhaust: Error codes may indicate blockages in the air supply or exhaust. Check that vent pipes are properly connected and free from obstructions to avoid combustion problems and ensure efficient operation.
- Flame or Ignition Failure: If the flame fails to ignite, check the gas supply, valves, and connections. Our team can diagnose and resolve issues related to electrical components or gas lines to restore proper functionality.
Tankless Water Heater Replacement
Preventive water heater maintenance can extend your system’s lifespan, but it won’t last forever. Gas-powered tankless water heaters typically last 20+ years, while tankless electric units usually last 7 to 10 years. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan or struggles with high demand, consider upgrading.
If repairs are impractical or costly, replacing the unit may be a better option. However, converting from a traditional tank to a tankless system might not always be the best choice. Our team can help you select the right replacement water heater for your home or business.
