Tankless Water Heaters

Endless hot water, if it is installed right.

A tankless water heater heats water only when you open a tap, so you never run out mid-shower and you stop paying to keep 40 or 50 gallons hot all day. The catch is that tankless units are far less forgiving of a sloppy install. AccuFlow handles tankless water heater installation in Lodi, Acampo and the surrounding towns, including tank-to-tankless conversions, and we repair and descale existing units. We’re an authorized warranty and service provider for Navien, Rinnai, Noritz, Rheem and other major brands, size each unit to your fixtures and household, and set it up with the gas line, venting, condensate drain and service valves it needs to last.

Warranty Parts & Service

Covered parts handled through the manufacturer warranty when a component fails.

Sizing a tankless water heater the right way

Tankless units are sized by flow, not tank capacity. We add up the fixtures your household runs at the same time (two showers and a dishwasher on a winter morning is a common test) and the temperature rise from your incoming water to your shower setting. Undersize the unit and the water goes lukewarm when a second shower turns on; oversize it and you pay for capacity you never use. Larger homes sometimes need two units linked together. We do the math before we quote, so the tankless water heater fits the way your family actually uses hot water.

Signs your tankless unit needs service

  • Hot water turns cold mid-shower
  • An error code on the unit display
  • Reduced flow or pressure at the hot taps
  • The unit will not ignite or keeps shutting down
  • Temperature swings between hot and lukewarm
  • Water leaking from the unit or its valves

What a tank-to-tankless conversion involves

Swapping a tank for a tankless unit is more than a one-for-one replacement. Most gas tankless heaters need a larger gas line than the old tank, because they burn a lot of gas for short periods; we check your meter, pipe size and run length first. The old vent usually can’t be reused, so the new unit gets its own stainless or PVC venting, plus a condensate drain on high-efficiency models. We also add isolation valves so the unit can be descaled every year. Most conversions are finished in a day, depending on how much gas and vent work the house needs.

Tankless water heater repair and descaling

Most tankless water heater repair calls come down to scale, ignition or electronics. Hard water leaves mineral scale in the heat exchanger, which shows up as error codes, fluctuating temperature and reduced flow. We descale the unit with a flush kit through the service valves, clean the inlet filter, and check the igniter, flame sensor, flow sensor and control board. Many manufacturers require regular descaling to keep the heat exchanger warranty valid, and we handle warranty parts when a covered part fails. Comparing options before you commit? See gas vs. electric water heaters or our main water heater repair and installation page.

What affects the cost of a tankless water heater

  • Unit size and type: the flow rating your home needs, and condensing vs. non-condensing models.
  • Gas line: whether the line from the meter has to be upsized.
  • Venting: the length of the vent run and where it exits the wall or roof.
  • Location: a garage wall is simpler than an attic or a new exterior spot.
  • Condensate and power: a drain for condensate and an outlet near the unit.
  • Permit: required for water heater replacements in California.

Common Questions

Tankless Water Heater FAQs.

Quick answers before you call.

See all FAQs →
For many households, yes, especially if you run out of hot water or want the space back. A tankless unit costs more up front than a tank, but it lasts longer and only burns gas when you use hot water. We price both so you can compare.
With yearly descaling, a tankless unit commonly lasts 20 years or more, roughly twice as long as a standard tank. Skipping maintenance in a hard-water area shortens that a lot.
About once a year is the common recommendation, and more often with hard well water or heavy use. Check your model’s manual; many manufacturers require descaling to keep the heat exchanger warranty valid.
Often it needs to be upsized. A gas tankless unit uses far more gas than a tank while it's running, so we check your meter, line size and run length before quoting.
Common causes are scale in the heat exchanger, a dirty inlet filter, too little flow at the faucet to trigger the burner, an undersized gas line or an ignition problem. The error code on the display usually points us to the cause.
No. It makes hot water endlessly, but the water still has to travel from the heater to the tap. If the wait is the problem, a recirculation pump or a unit with built-in recirculation can help.
We’re an authorized warranty and service provider for Navien, Rinnai, Noritz and Rheem tankless water heaters, and we service most other major brands.
