If your tankless unit replaced a tank
If you know the unit replaced a tank, share any installation records. Mention restricted access or a vent outlet near a walkway or window if visible from a safe location. Gas supply, venting and condensate requirements depend on the model and installation, not local housing assumptions.
Helpful when you contact us
- Exact error code and when it appears
- Make and model from the unit's side label
- Whether isolation valves are installed
For replacement, sizing, fuel or vent changes, ask us which permits and inspections apply before authorizing work. Use the City of Elizabeth Bureau of Construction as the official next step; requirements depend on the job.
Water heater questions
Do tankless units need regular descaling?
Most manufacturers call for periodic flushing, and how often depends on usage and water conditions. Our plumber checks scale during assessment.
Can you service any tankless brand?
Confirm the brand and model when calling so we can check equipment suitability.
Should I keep resetting the unit?
No. Record the displayed code without resetting; repeated resets can mask a venting or gas problem.
