The Advantages of Choosing a Tankless Water Heater
Many Cucamonga homeowners are making the switch to tankless technology for compelling reasons:
- Endless Hot Water: Unlike tank heaters that can run out of hot water, tankless units heat water as it flows through the unit, providing a continuous supply for multiple showers, appliances, and tasks simultaneously.
- Increased Energy Efficiency: Tankless heaters only consume energy when hot water is being used. This on-demand heating can lead to significant energy savings compared to tank models that constantly heat and reheat water in storage.
- Longer Lifespan: Tankless water heaters generally have a longer operational life, often lasting 20 years or more with proper maintenance, compared to the typical 10-15 years for a tank heater.
- Space Savings: Their compact size allows tankless units to be installed in more convenient locations, freeing up valuable space previously occupied by a bulky storage tank.
These benefits make tankless water heaters an attractive and practical option for homes in Cucamonga looking for efficiency and convenience.

Our installation process begins with an assessment to determine the right type and size of unit for your home's needs and layout.

Tankless Water Heater Repair
If your tankless water heater isn't performing as expected – perhaps you're experiencing inconsistent water temperatures, error codes, strange noises, or a complete lack of hot water – our technicians can diagnose and repair the issue. We are familiar with common tankless problems across various brands and models. Our team arrives with the necessary tools and knowledge to identify the root cause of the problem and perform effective repairs to restore your hot water supply quickly. For general issues, our Water Heaters Repair service addresses common problems.
Tankless Water Heater Maintenance (Flushing)
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of tankless water heaters, especially flushing the system. Minerals in the water supply, common in many areas including parts of Southern California, can build up inside the heat exchanger over time. This scale buildup reduces efficiency, restricts water flow, and can eventually cause serious damage.
Our tankless water heater maintenance service includes a thorough flushing process using a descaling solution to remove mineral deposits. This helps prevent costly breakdowns, maintains optimal energy efficiency, and extends the lifespan of your unit. The recommended frequency for flushing can vary depending on your water quality and usage, but annual maintenance is often advised. Our Power Club membership includes routine maintenance services, including tankless flushing, offering peace of mind and potential cost savings.
Tankless Water Heater Replacement
While tankless units last longer than traditional heaters, they do eventually require replacement. If your existing tankless heater is old, frequently breaking down, or unable to meet your household's demands, upgrading to a newer, more efficient model may be the best solution. We can assess your current system and needs, recommend suitable replacement options, and handle the complete removal of the old unit and installation of the new one. This ensures a seamless transition to improved performance and efficiency. Information on upgrading systems is available on our main Water Heater Installation & Replacement page.
Common Tankless Water Heater Problems We Solve
Tankless water heaters are reliable, but like any appliance, they can encounter issues. Our technicians are experts in diagnosing and resolving the most common problems specific to these units:
- Mineral Buildup (Scaling): As mentioned, this is a frequent issue. Our flushing service effectively removes scale, restoring flow and efficiency.
- Ignition Failures: Problems with the gas valve, igniter, or flame sensor can prevent the unit from heating water. We troubleshoot and repair these components.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Sometimes called the "cold water sandwich," this can occur due to minimum flow rate requirements or issues with the unit cycling on and off. We can adjust settings or repair components causing this.
- Flow Rate Issues: If the demand for hot water exceeds the unit's capacity, or if there are restrictions in the plumbing or unit itself, you may experience insufficient hot water flow. We can assess sizing and diagnose flow restrictions.
- Error Codes: Tankless units use error codes to indicate specific problems. Our technicians are trained to understand these codes and address the underlying mechanical or electrical issues.
Our team has the specialized knowledge required to accurately identify the cause of these problems and implement the correct solutions, ensuring your tankless heater operates reliably.
