Tankless Water Heaters
At OKCITY Plumbing, we understand the importance of efficient and reliable hot water systems in your home. Our team of skilled professionals is dedicated to providing top-notch service for all your tankless water heater needs. Whether you’re considering an installation, in need of maintenance, or suspecting a repair, we’ve got you covered.
Benefits of Tankless Water Heaters
When considering upgrading our water heating system, opting for a tankless water heater offers numerous benefits over traditional tank-style heaters. One of the key advantages is the energy efficiency of tankless water heaters. Unlike traditional heaters that continuously heat and store water in a tank, tankless heaters heat water on demand, reducing energy consumption and ultimately lowering utility bills. This not only ensures a constant supply of hot water but also eliminates the risk of running out during peak usage times. Traditional water heaters can take up a significant amount of space due to their large tanks, whereas tankless heaters are compact and can be mounted on walls, saving valuable floor space. Moreover, tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan compared to traditional heaters, reducing the frequency of replacements and maintenance costs.
Tankless Water Heater Installation Process
We typically begin the tankless water heater installation process by assessing the best location for the unit within the property. Once we determine the optimal spot, we proceed by shutting off the water supply and electricity to ensure a safe installation. Next, we carefully mount the unit on the chosen wall, making sure it’s secure and level. After that, we connect the water lines, ensuring proper fittings and seals to prevent leaks.
Once the water lines are in place, we connect the unit to the electrical supply and test the system to ensure it’s functioning correctly. Finally, we provide the necessary information and guidance to the homeowner on how to operate and maintain their new tankless water heater.
Indications That Your Tankless Water Heater Requires Repair
If you notice a decrease in water temperature or inconsistent hot water flow from your tankless water heater, it may be a sign that your system requires repair. These issues could indicate problems with the heating element, a buildup of limescale, or a malfunctioning part.
Another common sign that your tankless water heater needs repair is if you experience frequent fluctuations in water temperature. This could be caused by a faulty thermostat or a problem with the water flow sensor. Additionally, strange noises such as banging, popping, or hissing coming from your water heater are red flags that shouldn’t be ignored. These sounds may signal a buildup of sediment in the system or a more serious issue with the internal components.
If you detect any of these signs, it’s crucial to contact a professional plumber to assess and repair your tankless water heater promptly. Ignoring these warning signals could lead to more significant problems and a potential system breakdown.

Energy-Efficiency of Tankless Water Heaters
Tankless water heaters are highly regarded for their energy-efficient operation, providing hot water on demand without the need for standby energy consumption. Unlike traditional water heaters that continuously heat and store water, tankless models heat water only when needed. This results in significant energy savings as there’s no energy wasted on keeping a large tank of water hot at all times.
The energy efficiency of tankless water heaters is further enhanced by their ability to avoid the standby energy losses associated with storage tanks. With tankless systems, there’s no risk of heat escaping from a reservoir of water, reducing energy usage and lowering utility bills.
