Common tankless water heater problems
Tankless systems can experience ignition problems, flow-related issues, temperature fluctuations, scale buildup, error codes or inadequate hot-water performance. The cause depends on the model and installation.

Regular maintenance can help preserve performance and allows a technician to identify developing issues.
Tankless installation considerations
A tankless conversion may require changes to gas supply, venting, electrical service, plumbing or mounting. The existing water heater setup should be evaluated before selecting equipment.
Correct sizing is also important because tankless units have a maximum flow rate and temperature-rise capability.
What can cause a water heater problem?
