Tankless Units in Sandy Hook Homes
In Sandy Hook, many tankless units hang in a basement beside the boiler. Condensate drains, sidewall vents and freeze protection all come into play here.
What we run into in Sandy Hook
- 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.
- Snow on vents. After a big storm, a buried intake or exhaust is one of the first things to check when the hot water quits.
- 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.

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.

Noisy or whistling
Scale, a struggling fan or a gas regulator issue, each of which shows up on testing.
