Fequently Asked Questions
Signs that your electric unit needs repair include producing only lukewarm water, frequently tripping your home's circuit breakers, or failing to activate when a hot water faucet is turned on.
An electric tankless water heater generally lasts between fifteen and twenty years. Because they do not have the complex venting and combustion components of gas units, their lifespan is highly dependent on protecting the heating elements from scale buildup.
Replacing an existing electric tankless unit usually takes two to three hours. However, a first-time installation may take much longer if an electrician needs to run new heavy-duty wiring and install additional breakers to support the system's high electrical draw.
Circuit breakers trip when the unit draws more power than the electrical panel can handle. This is often caused by a shorted heating element, loose electrical connections within the unit, or an undersized breaker that was not properly matched to the heater's specifications during installation.
Like gas units, electric tankless water heaters should be inspected and flushed annually to remove mineral scale. Excessive scale acts as an insulator on the heating coils, forcing them to work harder, run hotter, and eventually burn out prematurely.
