A tankless water heater, also called an on-demand unit, heats water as it passes through. There is no big tank to keep hot. It hangs on a wall, which frees floor space. Mineral scale inside can cut flow and trigger error codes, so it needs care.
Whether you have a tankless unit or want one, these signs mean it is time to call.

Tankless units suit many newer homes in Bonney Lake and Maple Valley, where garages have wall space to spare. In Gig Harbor and rural Thurston County near Olympia, many homes are on private wells, so regular descaling matters.
Well water can carry iron, manganese or hardness, and those minerals build up inside a tankless unit. Ask about a free water quality test. It shows what is in your water, so you can decide if filtration would help.

It can be, if you often run out of hot water or want more floor space. A tankless unit heats water as it flows. The upfront cost is often higher than a tank, especially if venting or fuel supply needs work. We price both so you can compare.
It depends on your water. Homes on wells, or with more minerals in the water, need descaling more often. Weak hot water flow or a scale error code on the display is a sign it is due. We can check the unit and suggest a schedule.
Yes, in most homes. A tank-to-tankless upgrade often needs a bigger gas supply or more electrical capacity, plus new venting. We check what your home has now and price the full job up front, so you know what the switch involves before you decide.
Running too many taps at once can outpace the unit. A clogged inlet filter, low gas supply or scale inside can also make it shut off. If it keeps happening, call us. We test the unit and tell you what is causing it.
We close the service valves and pump a descaling solution through the heat exchanger. It dissolves mineral scale that narrows the water path. Then we flush it, clean the inlet filter and check the flow. It typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
Yes. We work on tankless units no matter who installed them. We read the error code, test the gas or power, igniter, flame sensor and filters, then give you a flat-rate price. The $49 diagnostic fee is waived when you approve the repair.
It heats water as long as it flows, so it will not run out the way a tank does. It does have a flow limit, though. If you run many showers at once, you need a unit sized for that. We size it to how your home uses water.
Yes. We offer financing through Wisetack for bigger jobs, subject to approval, and a tank-to-tankless upgrade is often a good fit. Credit cards are accepted too. Ask when you call, and you can review your options before any work begins.
