Tankless Units in Fort Lupton Homes
Fort Lupton sits more than 4,000 feet up, with cold winters and hard water. Units need their altitude setting right, regular descaling and protected lines.
What we run into in Fort Lupton
- Hard water. Mineral-heavy water coats the exchanger a little more every month. Many repair visits here end with a descale as well, so the fix holds.
- Altitude setting. At this elevation many gas units need their high-altitude setting made at install, or they burn rough and throw flame or exhaust codes.
- 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.
