If you need tankless water heater services in Petaluma, CA, KC Home Services is here to help. A tankless water heater is among the most efficient water heating solutions available, but it can lose that efficiency quickly. We recommend scheduling a repair at the first sign of trouble. Otherwise, your electricity and fuel consumption can rise dramatically. The issue can also worsen into a bigger headache that’s much more expensive to fix.
"KC Home Services was an easy choice for great service and affordability. They didn't let me down either, efficiently diagnosing my issue and rectifying the problem. They provided fair estimates for a new furnace and several options to choose from. I highly recommend them!"
Homeowners often call us because their on-demand water heater won’t turn on. This can be because of a tripped circuit breaker. Even fuel-burning water heaters require electricity. It can also be that the pilot light has gone out. You can reset the breaker or relight the pilot, but you shouldn’t do it multiple times. This indicates a more serious issue that requires professional attention.
Another common issue is an on-demand water heater that shuts off intermittently. You may be washing the dishes or showering, and then suddenly, you have no hot water. If the hot water returns a short while after, it usually means the system is overheating. Common causes include airflow restriction, inlet or outlet valve restriction, or a thermostat malfunction. The worst-case scenario is that the heat exchanger has cracked, and we need to replace it.
Sporadic low water pressure is probably an issue with the municipal water supply. More consistent low water pressure suggests an issue with the water heater itself. Limescale buildup is a common culprit. The accumulation may extend into tubing and even pipes. It could also be that the water filter needs cleaning or replacement or that the anti-scale device has clogged.
If you notice the temperature of your hot water fluctuating, it could be a malfunctioning thermostat or thermal sensor. That said, limescale buildup is a leading cause here as well. It’s one reason we recommend annual descaling. It could also be the cold sandwich effect, which is generally just a minor annoyance. If you want to eliminate it, options include installing a recirculating pump or a compact storage tank.
