What are the pros and cons of tankless water heaters?

Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand and are more energy-efficient than traditional tank models, which can help lower your utility bills. They also save space with their compact, wall-mounted design and often have a longer lifespan. However, they come with a higher upfront cost for purchase and installation, may require upgrades to your home’s gas or electrical lines, and can struggle to supply enough hot water for multiple uses at once. For large families or businesses with high simultaneous demand, a tankless system may not always keep up.

Why is there no heat from my HVAC system?

If you’re not getting heat, common causes include clogged air filters, thermostat problems, tripped breakers, ignition or pilot light failures, ductwork leaks, or issues with your boiler or heat pump. Start by checking your thermostat settings, replacing the air filter, and making sure your breakers haven’t tripped. If these don’t solve the problem, it’s best to call a licensed HVAC technician for a thorough inspection.

Why is there no cooling from my HVAC system?

No cooling can be caused by dirty filters, incorrect thermostat settings, low refrigerant, frozen coils, blocked vents, or electrical issues. First, check your thermostat and make sure your air filter is clean. If the system still doesn’t cool, professional service is recommended to diagnose and fix the problem.

Why is my boiler not working?

Boiler issues can result from blocked burners, faulty fans or gas valves, low pressure, frozen or blocked condensate pipes, electrical faults, or a malfunctioning thermostat. If your boiler isn’t working, don’t try to repair it yourself. Always contact a certified technician for safe and effective repairs.

Why is my HVAC system leaking water?

Water leaks from HVAC systems are often due to a clogged condensate drain line, a dirty air filter causing the coil to freeze and thaw, a cracked drain pan, low refrigerant, or improper installation. If you notice water pooling around your unit, turn off the system and call a professional to prevent water damage and further complications.

What should I do if my thermostat is not working?

If your thermostat isn’t working, check that it’s set to the correct mode, replace the batteries if needed, and make sure it’s powered on. If the display is blank or the settings are unresponsive, the thermostat may need to be replaced. If basic troubleshooting doesn’t help, contact a technician for assistance.

Why is my chiller not working?

A non-working chiller can be caused by low refrigerant, electrical faults, a faulty compressor or pump, sensor issues, or poor maintenance. Chiller problems in commercial settings can lead to downtime and product loss, so it’s important to have a professional technician inspect and repair the system as soon as possible.

Why are my energy or utility costs so high?

High energy bills are often the result of dirty filters or coils, leaking ductwork, outdated or improperly sized equipment, incorrect thermostat settings, or lack of regular maintenance. To reduce your costs, make sure to change filters regularly, seal ducts, schedule routine maintenance, and consider upgrading to more energy-efficient equipment.

How do I know which water heater is best for my needs?

The best water heater for you depends on your fuel source (gas, electric, or propane), the amount of hot water you need, the type of heater (tank or tankless), energy efficiency ratings, and available space. For personalized recommendations, consult an HVAC professional who can assess your specific requirements and suggest the most suitable option.
