Tankless Units in Manassas Homes
Most Manassas homes keep the tankless in the basement or a utility room, with the vent through the side wall. Winter cold snaps and condensate drains cause the usual trouble.
What we run into in Manassas
- Basement units. Basement installs are common, often condensing units whose acidic condensate runs to a floor drain or a small pump.
- Freeze damage. Freeze protection keeps the inside of a unit safe, not the exposed pipes under it. Uninsulated lines are where winter damage usually starts.

The list below covers what we find on most visits for tankless water heater repair in Manassas, VA, from ignition codes to drips under the cabinet.
Unit won't light
No ignition usually means gas pressure, a worn igniter, a dirty flame rod or a blocked vent. Each is tested.
Water under the unit
Drips come from service valves, fittings, the relief valve, the condensate line or the heat exchanger itself.
Code 10 or E110
An air or exhaust code stops the burner for safety. The intake and exhaust are cleared and checked.
Cold at one tap only
Usually a mixing valve or a cold-water crossover at that fixture, not the heater.
LC code on a Rinnai
The unit is reporting scale buildup. It needs a descale, and soon.
Frozen after a cold night
Lines feeding the unit froze, or freeze protection lost power.

Fix It or Retire It? Deciding in Manassas
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.

Question not covered here?

Call (380) 273-8196How much does tankless water heater repair in Manassas, VA 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. Freeze repairs depend on what split, and are priced once the damage is seen.
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.
