Many area homeowners are opting for tankless water heater installation in Anna, IL. When sized correctly, these systems deliver virtually unlimited hot water. A tankless system does cost more up front. That said, they’ll typically save you money long term due to the lower operating costs and longer equipment lifespan. If you’re interested in the switch, Baker & Sons Plumbing is the plumbing contractor to choose. Our team also provides a full range of tankless water heater repair services that can restore your system to like-new condition.
I will definitely be recommending Baker and Sons to everyone!! They were very professional and came quickly! I love how they sent a picture of the technician that was scheduled to come and the number he was going to be calling from. They went above and beyond and are fair priced. The technicians were very nice and explained everything that they were going to do. Very pleased with everything!
Limescale is a common cause of our customers needing tankless water heater repair in Anna. Even if you have moderately hard water, those minerals can build up on valves, nozzles, and the heat exchanger itself. Left unchecked, it will decrease efficiency, increase operating costs, and reduce system life. Our plumbers can fix the problem by descaling the system. If you have hard water, you may want to consider a more permanent solution as well. Options include an anti-scale device for the water heater or a whole-house water softening system.
Another common reason homeowners call us for tankless water heater repair is a long delay. If you’re turning on a faucet and waiting more than 30 seconds, that’s too long. If the delay has gotten worse over time, it could be scale building up in tubing or piping. If the problem happens suddenly, it may be an issue with a thermostat, thermal sensor, or heat exchanger. With fuel-burning systems, the gas pressure setting can also be too low.
Do you have to choose between a repair or a new tankless water heater installation? Age is one factor. If the repair cost is significant and the unit is 15 years old or older, we’ll usually advise replacement. Cost is the other factor. On-demand water heater repairs can be expensive due to part prices. If a repair will cost 50% or more of what a new system will cost, we’ll recommend replacement even if the unit is relatively young.
The design of tankless water heaters has come a long way over the years. Many systems come with integrated recirculation pumps or compact storage tanks. That helps to avoid long hot water delays and the cold-water sandwich effect. It also makes it easier to install a single water heater in a large home.
Many modern systems offer more gallons per minute (GPM) than were possible in the past. There are even systems that offer 13 GPM, which well exceeds the amount that the average home needs. A new installation is an opportunity to reassess your household’s peak demand and perhaps increase or decrease your GPM.
There are many benefits to a modern on-demand water heater.
High energy efficiency
Rebates and tax credit
New warranty coverage
Reduced carbon footprint
Higher available flow rates
