Tankless Water Heaters in Benbrook, TX

Tankless water heaters have become quite popular. This is mostly because they are very efficient and can cut down your fuel costs significantly.

Unlike conventional heaters which store an amount of water for later use, tankless water heaters turn on the moment you turn the faucet on and turn off the moment your turn it off.

Conventional heaters use extra energy to heat the water that is stored in the tank for later use. The problem is, the warmth of the water gets dissipated when you don’t use it for a while and the burner keeps turning on to heat the same water which may not even get used for hours.

Water heaters today come with a built-in timer that can reduce this wastage, but never fully eliminates it.

Tankless water heaters are popular because they come as close as is possible to negate wastage of energy.

Your familiar and trusted Benjamin Franklin Plumbers in Benbrook, TX now provide complete range of services for tankless water heaters including installation, repair and maintenance.

Water Heater Repair in Benbrook, TX

Water heaters can break down in several ways. There are two pipes at the top of the heater, one for the inflow of cold water into the heater and one for the outflow of warm water to your hot water tap. One of these pipes could become damaged with usage, usually as a result of corrosion or pressure on the joints in the pipes.

This causes a small amount of leakage to develop in the piping. While the leakage may not be significantly bad in most cases and can even be ignored for a couple of days, delaying the problem for a long time could cause the piping to break or burst.

Another problem common with water heaters is that the water tank could become damaged due to rust or erosion. Even the tiniest hole in the tank could lead to a large amount of water leakage and this problem should not be ignored.

Lastly, your heater may develop problems with the burner itself after some time. This is mostly due to normal wear and tear as well as deposit of carbon in the burner. The pilot, which turns the heater on with a spark can also become damaged with time and may stop functioning altogether.

Gas Line Repair in Benbrook, TX

The internal gas lines in your house connect the external gas pipes to the devices such as the oven and water heater. If your installed gas pipelines are of good quality, then they are unlikely to develop faults, especially if you get our professionals to perform regular checks on them every six to eight months.

However, in case you neglect the gas piping, it is possible that you can develop some sort of leaks in the lines.

Gas line leakage is quite dangerous and a potential hazard to your safety. It can be especially dangerous if your gas pipes are leaking in a closed environment such as the kitchen or basement. Natural gas is highly inflammable and even a small spark can light it up and cause an explosion.

Apart from the safety hazard, a leaking gas pipes also costs you money. The more gas your house consumes, the higher your fuel bills. This could add hundreds of dollars into your bill. You might actually be able to save money by hiring our specialist plumbers to carry out regular inspections and checks of the gas piping in your house.

Water Line Repair in Benbrook, TX

There are a number of factors that affect the water piping in your house. If the water that you are getting is mixed with a high amount of minerals such as calcium and magnesium it could damage the internal layer of your pipes.

As water flows through the plumbing, a small layer of these minerals gets deposited on the interior surface of your water pipes. These mineral deposits are the main cause of deterioration of the pipes.

The second main reason of damage to the pipes is water pressure. An unusually high pressure on the insides of your pipes can cause small holes which begin to leak at first and may burst if left unchecked.
