Tankless Units in Olmsted Falls Homes
Most Olmsted Falls homes keep the tankless in the basement, beside the furnace. Hard water and cold winters are what wear these units down.
What we run into in Olmsted Falls
- 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.

Call (380) 273-8196Tankless Problems We Fix Around Olmsted Falls
The list below covers what we find on most visits for tankless water heater repair in Olmsted Falls, OH, from ignition codes to drips under the cabinet.
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.

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.
How long does a tankless water heater last?
A gas unit that is flushed regularly commonly lasts 20 years or longer. Electric tankless models usually give 7 to 10.
