Tankless Units in New London Homes
Most New London homes are brick houses where the tankless sits in the garage or on an outside wall. The February 2021 freeze showed how fast exposed lines can split here.
What we run into in New London
- Freeze damage. A hard freeze can split the pipes feeding a unit. Its built-in freeze protection only works while the unit still has power and gas.
- Retrofit installs. Retrofits are common in this housing stock. When a unit throws flame codes only while the furnace or dryer runs, the gas supply is the first suspect.

Call (380) 273-8196Tankless Problems We Fix Around New London
When people phone about tankless water heater repair in New London, TX, it is nearly always one of these problems. Each has a short list of causes.
Code 11, E003 or 111
A unit that clicks without lighting has an ignition, gas or venting fault, and each is checked in turn.
Drip from the cabinet
Drips come from service valves, fittings, the relief valve, the condensate line or the heat exchanger itself.
Code 10 or E110
Venting codes mean the unit can't breathe: a blocked termination, a nest, snow or a vent run that's too long.
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.

New London Homes by the Numbers
In New London about 67% of homes are heated with gas, which makes gas-fired tankless units, and the gas pressure and venting problems that come with them, the common repair. Housing here is older (median year built 1968), and older homes were plumbed and vented for tank heaters, so tankless retrofits often meant new gas lines, venting or a condensate drain, which are common places for faults to start. Owners live in about 93% of New London homes (single-family about 83%), so the person who calls is usually the person who decides.
New London covers about 8.6 square miles and holds roughly 1,198 residents, around 139 per square mile: rural to small-town in density, with large lots and long runs. It is number 268 by population of the 322 Texas places on our service list.

New London Weather and Water Temperature
New London averages around 30 freezing nights a year, with a three-year low of about 2°F. That is enough cold for pipes in garages, crawl spaces and outside walls to get close to trouble on the worst nights, while most winters pass without damage.
Water arriving at a New London tap in winter is likely near 56°F (averages of about 46°F in January air and 66°F over the year). To reach 120°F a tankless unit must add roughly 64°F, which a 199,000 BTU gas model at 90% efficiency can do for about 5.6 gallons per minute. In July the water is nearer 76°F, so the same unit has to add only about 44°F and can supply about 8.2 gallons per minute.
Since a shower uses about 2 gallons per minute, that winter ceiling is why a heater that handles one shower easily can run lukewarm when a second shower and the dishwasher start. Lukewarm water at full demand is a limit of the design, not always a fault, whereas lukewarm water at a single tap points to scale, a sensor or an ignition problem.
At about 547 ft above sea level, New London is below the roughly 2,000 ft mark where manufacturers usually begin to adjust gas appliance ratings, so altitude is not a factor for most tankless units here.

Tankless Water Heater Repair in New London, TX: FAQs
Question not covered here?
Call and ask. Someone who repairs tankless units answers, and the phone quote is free.
Call (380) 273-8196How much does tankless water heater repair in New London, TX 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?
Most units reset by switching power off and on, or through the controller. A reset clears the code, not the cause; ignition and exhaust codes that return need a repair visit.
What is the most common problem with tankless water heaters?
Scale buildup tops the list, then ignition trouble, then flow sensors and clogged inlet filters. In New London, cold nights add vent-cap, condensate-line and exposed-pipe problems to the usual list.
Can a tankless water heater be repaired?
Usually, yes. Nearly every part on a tankless unit can be replaced, and a scaled exchanger can be cleaned. The exception is an old unit whose heat exchanger has started to leak.
