Tankless hot water heaters have unique advantages over traditional tank models but require routine care to stay operating at 100% efficiency. Some maintenance tasks most homeowners can do themselves, but an annual visit from your Mr. Rooter® Plumbing will take care of the more complicated maintenance that will protect your unit’s efficiency, extend its lifespan and make it an appliance you can depend on daily.
Commercial tankless water heaters help businesses lower energy-related operating costs by delivering unlimited hot water quickly and with less gas or electricity. Mr. Rooter® Plumbing makes the transition to this exciting technology easier with professional commercial tankless water heater installation and repair services when you need them.
Can I Install a Water Heater Myself?
Due to the high volume of gas or electricity and the need to make careful adjustments during installation and repair, you should always trust an experienced technician to install a water heater of any kind.
Tankless water heater installation or repair may involve:
- Fitting or cutting gas lines
- Wiring electrical cords and outlets
- Installing new water lines
- Installing water pressure valves
- Installing an exhaust vent
- Meeting local codes for water heater installation

- Low Water Pressure: A drop in water pressure may suggest a blockage or issue with the unit’s flow rate.
- Unusual Noises: Rumbling or hissing sounds can indicate mineral buildup or mechanical issues.
