Area homeowners experiencing problems with their on-demand water heater should call the plumbing team at Snowbird Heating & Cooling for tankless water heater repair in Davenport, FL. A common mistake with tankless water heaters is taking a wait-and-see approach. These are sophisticated and energy-efficient devices, but even minor malfunctions can disrupt that balance. You can experience significantly higher operating costs, and the repair costs can get much bigger.
"Our recent experience with Snowbird exceeded our expectations. Skylar did an excellent job determining the issues with our unit and explaining the pros and cons of repairing vs replacing it. They were very kind, courteous and respectful of our property by cleaning up after they were done. Do not hesitate to call Snowbird!"

Limescale buildup is Davenport’s leading cause of problems with tankless water heaters. It’s why we recommend preventative annual maintenance through which we can cleanse the system and, if necessary, descale it. Homeowners with hard water should consider a system add-on, such as an anti-scale device. These devices make minerals insoluble before the water flows into the system.
Scale accumulation in tankless water heaters can cause various issues and manifest in many ways. It can clog nozzles, valves, tubes, and even your plumbing. This can result in diminished water pressure, lengthening hot water delays, and even no hot water at all.
Scale can also build up on the internal components, such as the thermal sensor and heat exchanger. A damaged heat exchanger is a serious tankless water heater repair. If the scale buildup has caused the component to crack, we often have to replace it entirely.
If your system needs significant repair, you may consider a tankless water heater replacement instead. One factor is cost. We’ll generally advise replacement if you’re looking at 50% or more of a new installation. Other considerations include how old the current system is, how well it meets your needs, and its overall condition.
Homeowners who opt for new tankless water heater installation have an exciting opportunity. Much higher flow rates are available now. Many systems include a recirculation pump or a compact storage tank, which help to overcome many common issues. There are even smart water heaters that you can access from your phone.
Consider these other signs you may need to repair or replace your on-demand water heater:
Unusual noises
Intermittent shutoffs
Rising energy consumption
Cloudy, discolored, or smelly water
Inconsistent hot water temperatures
