Call (380) 273-8196Tankless Problems We Fix Around Tumwater
The list below covers what we find on most visits for tankless water heater repair in Tumwater, WA, 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
Water below a tankless can be a valve, a fitting, condensate or a failed exchanger. The source decides the cost.
Venting fault
An air or exhaust code stops the burner for safety. The intake and exhaust are cleared and checked.
Not as hot as it used to be
Scale on the heat exchanger, a weak gas supply or a thermistor reading wrong.
Cold at one tap only
Usually a mixing valve or a cold-water crossover at that fixture, not the heater.
Display is blank
No power at the outlet, a blown fuse or a failed control board.

Call (380) 273-8196How much does tankless water heater repair in Tumwater, WA 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.
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.
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.
How often should a tankless water heater be flushed?
Once a year for most homes, and twice a year on very hard water. Soft-water homes can stretch it, but never skip it for years.
