Our Tankless Water Heater System Services for Seattle Homeowners
Are you looking for a new type of water heater? Call 206.792.7495 today for expert Seattle tankless water heater installation and repair and honest pricing. For many homeowners who try a tankless system, it’s the only way to go.
As the name suggests, tankless water heaters operate without a traditional hot water tank. There is no tank placed in your basement, because a heating element is connected directly to the plumbing system. When anyone in your household turns on a hot water faucet, you get hot water until you don’t need it anymore. Tankless systems are also called on demand water heaters because of this feature. The individual faucets receive the hot water when it’s needed, which makes for a much more enjoyable situation for people inside the house.
If you’re ready for instant hot water whenever you want it, Gene Johnson can help you set it up! Give us a call to speak with a knowledgeable member of our team about all the expert tankless water heater services we provide!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is My Tankless Water Heater Not Providing Consistent Hot Water?
Inconsistent hot water can happen for a few reasons. Mineral buildup in the heat exchanger, blocked filters, or low water flow are common culprits. In some cases, the system may be undersized for your household’s demand. A technician can:
- Clean or replace clogged filters
- Flush out scale buildup from the heat exchanger
- Check the gas pressure or electrical supply
- Inspect the venting and airflow system
When these parts are serviced, your system usually returns to normal operation. If the unit is too small for your family’s needs, we may recommend upgrading to a larger-capacity model.
What Should I Do If My Tankless Water Heater Displays an Error Code?
Error codes are the system’s way of telling you something is wrong. These codes can mean anything from ignition failure to venting problems. First, reset the system to see if it clears. If it returns, it’s best to call for service. A professional will:
- Interpret the error code correctly for your model
- Inspect electrical or gas connections
- Clean sensors and filters
- Replace faulty components if needed
Addressing error codes quickly helps you avoid bigger issues and costly breakdowns. Never ignore them, especially if your unit shuts off during operation.
How Can I Prevent Costly Repairs on My Tankless Water Heater?
Preventive maintenance is the key to keeping your tankless system working for years. At minimum, schedule annual professional service. During this visit, a technician will:
- Flush the unit to remove scale and mineral deposits
- Clean filters and sensors for proper operation
- Inspect gas or electrical connections
- Test water pressure and temperature settings
- Check for leaks or corrosion around connections
These steps reduce strain on the unit and prevent surprise breakdowns. With consistent maintenance, many tankless systems last 20 years or more.
How Long Does It Take to Replace a Traditional Water Heater With a Tankless System?
The timeline depends on your home’s setup, but most replacements are done in a single day. If gas lines, venting, or electrical upgrades are needed, it might take a little longer. Typically, the process involves disconnecting and removing your old tank, installing new hookups, mounting the tankless unit, and testing the system.
Our team works efficiently so your household experiences as little downtime as possible. Most families are enjoying unlimited hot water by the evening of installation day.
What Are the Biggest Benefits of Replacing My Old Tank With a Tankless Water Heater?
Replacing a traditional tank-style water heater with a tankless unit offers multiple long-term benefits:
- Endless hot water for back-to-back showers and multiple appliances
- Lower monthly energy bills because water is heated only on demand
- Space savings since tankless models are compact and wall-mounted
- Longer lifespan, with many units lasting 20 years or more
- Improved safety since there’s no large tank that could leak or burst
This switch is especially valuable for busy households in Seattle, where demand for hot water can be high.
