In a lot of La Jolla homes, the tankless sits in an attic, a closet or a tight utility space above finished rooms. When it works, nobody thinks about it. When a fitting starts to weep or the unit starts throwing codes, waiting can cost you the ceiling and the walls around it.
Hard water is usually behind the codes. Scale builds in the heat exchanger and the unit works harder until it starts shutting down. Near the water, salt air adds corrosion on the venting and connections.
Someone comes out, looks at the unit where it actually lives, and gives you a precise, honest answer on repair or replacement. If it's replacement, the new unit is sized to your home and fitted to the space it has. The decision is yours, made without any rush.
