We use cutting-edge technology and only the highest quality materials to make sure every service call is done to code.

As water is constantly being pumped in and out of the tank, sediment can build up at the bottom, causing a wide array of issues such as clogs, reduced water pressure, and poor heating, among other problems. While preventative maintenance is key to keeping your water heater in tip-top shape, eventually, even that won’t be enough to stave off the effects of wear and tear.

In most cases, there are telltale signs that it’s time to call in the experts.

Some warning signs to look for include:

1. Lukewarm water. If your water heater cannot keep water hot, it could be due to a broken exchanger or debris build-up within.
2. Cloudy/murky water. Cloudy or murky water is a common sign that mineral deposits are clogging your unit. This is likely the case if you detect a potent, unpleasant odor coming from your tap water.
3. Malfunctioning valve. Minerals and rust can build up and cause your tankless heater’s TPR valve to freeze, making it harder for your unit to heat water.
4. Loud, disturbing noises. The loud noises coming from your water heater may be due to mineral deposits in the tank. This usually indicates that something is broken or that your system requires maintenance.

Don’t take chances with a handyman or a do-it-yourself project if you need hot water. At Blake Brothers, we take a systematic approach to diagnosing tankless water heater issues. Once we figure out the root of the problem, we’ll recommend cost-effective solutions that will save you money and effectively address the underlying problems.

Tankless water heaters, in contrast to their conventional counterparts, do not require large storage tanks. These energy-saving units use a heat exchanger to heat water on demand, eliminating the energy waste caused by standard water heaters.

Point-of-use heating and cooling systems have a heat exchanger that transfers heat from the unit’s heat source (electric coils or a gas burner) to the user. Water is immediately heated as it passes through the tankless unit, giving you unlimited access to instant hot water!

Tankless water heaters are truly as impressive as they sound. They are tangible proof of how technology finds more and more ways to make our lives easier while reducing our environmental impact.

Among the most notable advantages of installing a tankless water heater are:

1. More energy efficient. Unlike tanked heaters, tankless units only heat water when it is needed. This eliminates the wasteful practice of heating more water than necessary, reducing monthly utility costs.
2. Lesser leaks. Since there’s no unused water sitting in a big tank all day, the chance of a leak happening is almost nonexistent.
3. Hot water on demand. You can have hot water whenever you want it. No more waiting several hours for the water to heat up after someone takes a shower.
4. Longer lifespan. Tankless water heaters last almost twice as long as traditional units, which only last up to 15 years.

Here at Blake Brothers, we will always try to fix instead of replacing, but we will be honest with you if we believe it is beyond repair. You can rely on us for honest assessments and sound, expert advice.
