Tankless Units in Clawson Homes
Clawson winters are cold enough to freeze an exposed line, and the groundwater is mineral-heavy. Descaling and freeze repairs are both regular work here.
What we run into in Clawson
- Basement units. Many units here sit in the basement with PVC pipes venting out through the rim joist, and the condensate has to drain somewhere sensible.
- Freeze damage. Cold snaps do damage here when the power drops overnight. A frozen line or a cracked fitting under the unit is a repair we see after every deep freeze.
- Hard water. The water here carries a lot of minerals, and they settle as scale inside the heat exchanger. LC codes, overheat faults and water that will not get hot often trace back to it.

Most requests for tankless water heater repair in Clawson, MI start with one of the symptoms below, and most end with a single part or a descale.
Unit won't light
A unit that clicks without lighting has an ignition, gas or venting fault, and each is checked in turn.
Drip from the cabinet
Water below a tankless can be a valve, a fitting, condensate or a failed exchanger. The source decides the cost.
Venting fault
An air or exhaust code stops the burner for safety. The intake and exhaust are cleared and checked.
Shuts off mid-shower
Flow drops below what the unit needs to keep firing: a clogged filter, aerator or shower cartridge, or a sensor misreading.
Not as hot as it used to be
Scale on the heat exchanger, a weak gas supply or a thermistor reading wrong.
LC code on a Rinnai
The unit is reporting scale buildup. It needs a descale, and soon.

Fix It or Retire It? Deciding in Clawson
Gas tankless units commonly last 20 years or more with flushing, so a single failed part rarely means a new heater. A failed exchanger outside its warranty, on a unit past 15 years, is where replacement starts to win.
Tell us the brand, roughly how old the unit is and what it is doing when you call (380) 273-8196. If a repair is a poor spend, you will be told so.

Call (380) 273-8196How much does tankless water heater repair in Clawson, MI cost?
Most repairs cost an estimated $150 to $800, depending on the part. Descaling alone is estimated at $150 to $350, and a heat exchanger at $1,000 to $2,500. On hard water, a descale often goes with the repair and sits on the same written quote.
Is there a reset button on a tankless water heater?
Many do it through power: switch the unit off, wait, switch it back on. That clears a code, but a code that comes back means a part needs attention.
Can a tankless water heater be repaired?
Yes, in most cases. Igniters, flame rods, flow sensors, thermistors, fans, gas valves and boards are all replaceable, and scale can be descaled. A leaking heat exchanger on an old unit is the main exception.
What is the most common problem with tankless water heaters?
Scale in the heat exchanger, followed by ignition faults and flow sensor or filter problems. All three usually show up as a code or as water that won't stay hot.
