No Hot Water
It goes without saying that this is the most apparent reason that something is amiss with your water heater. The case may be that there is a problem with the heating array, which is something that can be repaired. The problem could also lay with a clogged line or a loose electrical wire. Whatever the cause, if it’s an aging system and you’ve had this problem before, replacement may trump repair.
Leaks
Leaks are never a good thing, particularly because they can cause property damage to your home. The good news is that leaks are typically pretty easy for our technicians to repair. Check for puddles around the base of your tankless system, or a drop in water pressure in more severe cases. Also understand that if leaks keep occurring, you may have a corroded tank that needs replacing.
