Tankless Units in Paramount Homes
In Paramount, tankless units usually hang on an exterior wall beside the driveway or side yard. The water is hard, which is why LC codes and lukewarm showers are common calls.
What we run into in Paramount
- Hard water. With water this hard, a unit that has never been flushed is usually running hot inside and cold at the tap. Descaling is often half of the cure.
- Outdoor wall units. Exterior wall units are common in this area. Sun-cracked pipe insulation and wasp nests in the vent cap turn up on service calls.
- Retrofit installs. In older homes converted to tankless, the original gas piping is not always big enough. Pressure gets measured with the burner at full fire before parts are blamed.

Why Paramount Homeowners Call Us
Run hard before we go
The unit is pushed with several taps open and its outlet temperature watched before the visit ends.
The code is a starting point
Error codes name a system, not a part. Gas, flow, venting and sensors are measured before anything is replaced.
Scale treated, not ignored
If scale caused the fault, the exchanger is descaled as well, so the same code doesn't return next month.
