Tankless water heating systems have many advantages over conventional gas-powered or electric hot water tanks, such as:
Immediate endless hot water
Tankless water heaters provide a reliable and endless hot water supply. Turn it on whenever you need, for as long as you want.
Reduced space requirement
Tankless water heaters are much smaller than traditional hot water tanks and can be wall-mounted.
Increased energy efficiency
Tankless systems are highly efficient, using less electricity or gas to deliver the same amount of hot water.
Longer lifespan
With proper maintenance, tankless water heaters usually last 10-15 years longer than regular hot water tanks.
Government rebates
Tankless systems can be eligible for up to $2,500 in government rebates, making them a cost-effective solution.

Common Hot Water Tank Problems
If you encounter a water heater failure in the deep cold of winter, Alfa Services is here to help. One phone call to our office and one of our licensed technicians is on their way to resolve the problem for you!
Here are some of the most commonly seen problems with hot water tanks:
Water Too Hot or Too Cold
Are you experiencing inconsistent water temperatures in your heater? Is the water too hot or not hot enough, regardless of how you adjust the thermostat? These issues may indicate problems with your thermostat. Replacing or cleaning your thermocouple may be necessary to ensure precise temperature sensing. This will help restore its accuracy and maintain optimal performance.
Low Hot Water Pressure
In older homes, the primary factor restricting water pressure is the smaller ½” plumbing, which was the standard for construction for many decades. Unlike modern homes that utilize larger ¾” plumbing, capable of handling greater water throughout, resolving this issue in an older home requires a complete repiping.
Malfunctioning Thermostat
The thermocouple is a critical part of the water heater, and any problems with it can lead to malfunctioning thermostats. That’s why regular unit maintenance is essential, as it helps ensure that all components are in working order.
Clogged Burner
If your hot water tank has difficulty heating up, it could be due to a clogged burner. This can occur over time as dirt, dust, and lint accumulate on the burner, eventually blocking its ability to heat up properly. It’s important to have this checked out as soon as possible to avoid further damage or a complete failure of the unit.
Leaking Tank
Leaking tanks are one of the most common issues with water heaters. If left unattended, a leaking tank can cause significant damage to your home. It’s essential to check your unit regularly for any signs of corrosion or rust, and if you do see any evidence, contact a professional immediately.
Sediment Buildup
Sediment buildup can hinder the performance of your hot water tank by reducing its efficiency. As sediment accumulates over time, it will block cold water intake, leading to inadequate heating capacity and potential clogging in the unit.
Noisy Heater Operation
If your water heater makes noises that it doesn’t usually make, this may indicate a problem with the system. Common culprits are air in the lines, sediment buildup, or even loose connections inside the unit.
