Tankless Water Heater Repair & Installation

Tankless Water Heaters: Efficient and Instant Hot Water Solutions

Tankless water heaters, also known as demand-type water heaters, are an innovative way to provide hot water only when needed. Unlike traditional storage water heaters, they do not produce standby energy losses, making them a cost-effective and energy-efficient option.

These heaters save space, deliver hot water swiftly, and cater to instant water needs, especially during the winter season when hot water becomes essential for bathing, dishwashing, and laundry. Although compact, ensuring their optimal performance requires professional installation and maintenance, which is where the expertise of Quality Air Heating & Cooling comes into play.

How Tankless Water Heaters Work

Tankless water heaters heat water directly without the need for a storage tank. When you turn on the tap, cold water flows through a pipe into the unit, where a gas burner or electric element heats it. This provides a continuous supply of hot water without waiting for a storage tank to refill.

Tankless water heaters can deliver hot water at a rate of 7.6 to 15.2 liters per minute (about 2–5 gallons). Gas-fired models typically offer a higher flow rate compared to electric ones. However, even large gas models may struggle to meet the demands of a household with multiple users simultaneously.

To address this, you can install two tankless units in parallel for increased capacity or set up separate units for specific appliances, such as dishwashers or washing machines.

Steps in Installing a Tankless Water Heater

With technological advancements, many people are switching from conventional water heaters to high-efficiency tankless models. While DIY installation may seem tempting, it often results in reduced efficiency and potential hazards. Quality Air Heating & Cooling follows a professional and precise installation process, which includes:

1. Preparation and Safety Precautions

Our experts prepare thoroughly, ensuring the presence of all necessary tools and materials, such as screwdrivers, CSST supply lines, gas line connectors, new water lines (if needed), hanger brackets, heat-resistant sealants, and buckets. Adherence to local building codes is a priority to ensure safety and compliance.

2. Removing the Old Heater Unit

We begin by turning off the water supply and disconnecting the old unit from its heat source. For electric units, this involves unplugging them, while for gas heaters, the gas supply valve is shut off before proceeding.

3. Mounting and Connecting the New Heater

The new tankless water heater is securely mounted to the wall, and all utilities are connected. After installation, the unit is tested to ensure proper functionality.
