If you have a tankless water heater in your home, we’ve got good news: it will probably not need many repairs over its service life, probably fewer than if you had a standard storage tank water heater. If you’re thinking about getting a tankless water heater, this low need for repairs is yet another checkmark in the “bonus” column. 

The reason that tankless water heaters have fewer repair problems is because unlike storage tank water heaters, they provide hot water on demand. They only turn on when they need to, rather than running regularly just to keep a larger tank of hot water heated up. This removes extra strain from the system and also provides the great benefits of high energy efficiency and unlimited hot water.

But a tankless water heater isn’t invincible, and there may eventually be a time when you need tankless water heater repair in Monclova, OH. We can’t tell you exactly how often your water heater will need to have professional fixes, but we can tell you several factors that will affect the repair frequency.

One of the most common problems your water heater will ever face is often one of the most misunderstood issues–scaling. Scaling happens due to hard water.

Scaling can go unnoticed for a while, but eventually can and will have a big effect on your water heater–whether it’s a traditional tank model or a tankless water heater.
