A tankless water heater does not store hot water, it heats water as you draw it. Nothing sits in a tank losing heat between showers, nothing runs out when the fourth person in the house wants one, and the unit itself takes up a fraction of the space a storage tank does.
ICON Heating and Cooling has fitted West Chester homes with efficient tankless systems since 2014, including high-quality Rinnai units. Our EPA and NATE-certified technicians handle new installations, conversions from a storage tank, and repair and service on tankless systems already in place.
Tankless is not automatically the right answer for every home, and gas supply and venting are usually what decide it. If a storage tank suits your setup better, our tank water heater services cover that side, and we will tell you plainly which way we would go.
Error codes on the display, water that turns lukewarm mid-shower, or flow that will not trigger the burner. Scale in the heat exchanger is the most common cause of a tankless unit losing performance, and descaling is part of keeping one working the way it should.
Tankless RepairNew installs and conversions from a storage tank, including Rinnai systems. Converting is more than swapping a box on the wall, so we check gas supply and plan the venting route as part of the quote rather than discovering a problem mid-job. Financing options are available.
Tankless InstallationTankless units are sized by flow rate rather than by gallons stored, which means the assessment step is doing real work rather than confirming a number on a label. Our process runs in five steps:
Homeowners usually come to us about tankless when the current unit is over 10 years old, they are tired of running out of hot water, energy bills keep climbing, or they want the utility space back. Wanting a more environmentally friendly option comes up often too.
The other common trigger is planning to stay in the home long-term. Tankless rewards a longer horizon, which is worth saying plainly before you decide.
The decision usually comes down to three things: how much simultaneous hot water your household actually uses, what your gas supply can deliver, and where the venting can run. Tell us about all three and we will give you a straight recommendation in writing, whichever way it points.
Yes, our technicians are trained to work on all major brands and models of tankless water heaters, whether or not we installed the unit.
We fit homes with efficient tankless systems including high-quality Rinnai units. If you are considering a Rinnai system or exploring other options, our team walks you through the choice during your consultation.
Reduced output from a tankless system usually points to scale building up in the heat exchanger, or to a flow sensor that is not reading correctly. Both are service issues rather than reasons to replace the unit, and regular descaling is what keeps the first one from happening.
Not usually. A tankless unit heats water instantly rather than gradually, so it needs adequate gas supply and its own venting arrangement. We check both before quoting the work, which is why the consultation matters more on a conversion than on a like-for-like tank replacement.
