Tankless Water Heater Repair in Westchester County, NY
Are you having trouble with your tankless water heater? Whether it’s churning out lukewarm water, not working at all, or releasing a ton of sediment, the team at Yost & Campbell Heating, Cooling & Generators can resolve the problem.
What Causes Tankless Water Heaters To Break?
Like most equipment in your home, wear and tear is inevitable from daily operation of your tankless water heater. Components will be worn and loosen from heating up and cooling off and from the force of water flowing in and out. Electrical connections might loosen and thermostats might go out of calibration.
For tankless water heaters in particular, sediment buildup is a substantial concern; even water that’s not particularly hard can leave enough deposits to cause hot spots and difficulty warming water without regular flushing.
Signs It’s Time To Replace Your Tankless Water Heater
Does your water heater need to be replaced? Common signs that it’s time for a new unit instead of repairs include:

- Your water heater is decades old, or you don’t know how old it is.

DIY Tankless Water Heater Repair Tips
When you have water heater issues, there are a few things you can do before you call a professional. Confirm the pilot light is lit, though if it keeps going out, you’ll want a professional. Make sure the water supply isn’t cut off for some reason, and that the relevant circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
Preventative Maintenance Tips
Flushing your water heater is the primary maintenance task a homeowner can perform, whether you’re dealing with a tankless system or a traditional one. You should take care of it at least once a year, preferably twice a year, or even more often if you have hard water.
You’ll also want an annual tune-up by a professional, which will typically include flushing so you don’t have to deal with it.

Tankless Water Heater Repair FAQs
Do tankless water heaters need more or less frequent repairs?
Tankless water heaters should need fewer repairs and last longer than traditional water heaters, as they operate less consistently and don’t have a tank, where certain problems can develop.
How often should I have professional maintenance to avoid problems?
Most professionals and manufacturers recommend annual tune-ups and flushing to keep your water heater in top condition, with more frequent flushing if you have hard water or other sources of excess sediment. This dramatically reduces the need for tankless water heater repair over its service life.
Why is my tankless water heater's water lukewarm?
Your tankless water heater may not have the capacity to accommodate your maximum draw needs; if you turn on multiple faucets to hot water at once, you might only get lukewarm water.
Why is my hot water pressure inconsistent?
Your pipes or tankless water heater might be clogged with sediment, be experiencing temperature spikes that cause unusual behavior, or have leaks.
