Tankless Water Heater Repair in Riverside County, CA

Specialized Service for Modern Systems

Tankless water heater repair requires specialized knowledge of flow sensors, heat exchangers, and computer controls that differ significantly from traditional tank systems. Common issues include mineral buildup that reduces efficiency, error codes indicating component failures, and inadequate hot water flow during peak demand periods. Annual descaling prevents most problems while maintaining manufacturer warranty requirements.

First Place Plumbing Solutions tankless repair service includes diagnostic computer testing, heat exchanger cleaning, and component replacement using manufacturer-approved parts. We carry common sensors, circuit boards, and heating elements for immediate repairs. Preventive maintenance extends tankless system life to 20+ years compared to 8-12 years for traditional tank units when properly maintained.
