Synergy3 Home Solutions has installed and repaired tankless systems across Philadelphia and New Jersey since 2006, and our licensed plumbers size the unit to your home's actual gas line and flow rate needs, not a one-size answer.

Warning Signs You Need Tankless Water Heater Service
- You are considering tankless because your current tank keeps running out of hot water
- An existing tankless unit is producing lukewarm water instead of hot
- The unit shows an error code on its display
- Water temperature fluctuates when multiple fixtures run at once
- Reduced flow rate from the unit compared to when it was new
- A gas tankless unit will not ignite
- Mineral buildup concerns on a unit that has never been descaled
- You are renovating and want to free up the space a tank occupies
Common Tankless Water Heater Problems We Fix
Lukewarm Instead of Hot Water
Often a sizing issue - the unit was undersized for how many fixtures run at once, or a heating element or gas burner fault. We check both usage patterns and the unit itself.
Unit Displays an Error Code
Modern tankless units report specific fault codes for issues like ignition failure, overheating or flow sensor problems. We diagnose from the actual code rather than guessing.
Reduced Flow Rate
Mineral scale buildup inside the heat exchanger is the most common cause, especially in areas with hard water. Descaling restores flow and efficiency.
Unit Will Not Ignite
On gas units, usually a gas supply, ignition or venting issue. We check gas pressure and venting as part of the diagnosis, not just the ignition system.
Temperature Fluctuates With Multiple Fixtures Running
Can mean the unit is undersized for simultaneous demand, which is a sizing issue from installation rather than a fault to repair.
Mineral Scale in the Heat Exchanger
In hard water areas, scale builds up inside the heat exchanger over time, reducing flow rate and efficiency and eventually shortening the unit's life if it is never descaled. Homes on a water softener see this far less often than homes without one.
Gas vs Electric Tankless Water Heaters
Gas tankless units generally support higher flow rates and are the more common choice for whole-home installations, but they need adequate gas line capacity and proper venting. Electric tankless units avoid the venting requirement and can work well for a single bathroom or a point-of-use application, but whole-home electric tankless systems draw enough power that they can require an electrical service upgrade in older homes. We walk through which fits your home's gas and electrical capacity before recommending either.
How Our Tankless Water Heater Service Works
- Same-day dispatch during business hours for repair calls, or a scheduled visit for new installations.
- Full diagnosis or sizing - for repairs, testing the unit and error codes; for new installs, calculating flow rate needs against gas line and venting capacity.
- Written price before any work starts.
- Installation, repair and verification, testing hot water delivery at multiple fixtures before we call the job done.
Is Tankless Right for Your Home?
Tankless water heaters deliver continuous, on-demand hot water instead of storing it in a tank, which means no running out during back-to-back showers and no standby heat loss from storage sitting full of hot water all day. That efficient design is a factor in energy savings over a conventional tank, though the actual dollar savings depend on your household's hot water use and the model chosen - our professional plumbers can walk through the choice, gas or electric, for your home rather than a generic answer. The tradeoff is upfront cost and, on gas units, a gas line and venting that need to support the unit's higher demand - which is why sizing has to be right at installation, not adjusted after the fact. We assess your home's gas line capacity and typical simultaneous hot water use before recommending tankless over a tank replacement.
Cost and Financing
What drives a tankless unit's price is its flow rate capacity, fuel type, and whether gas line or venting upgrades are needed to support it. Rather than quote a number sight unseen, we give you a written estimate after assessing your home. Financing is available with approved credit, including 0% options.
Our Guarantees
Every tankless installation carries a one-year parts and labor warranty, backed by our 365-day satisfaction guarantee. Our plumbers are licensed in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Tankless units benefit from annual descaling more than tank units, especially in hard water areas. Our Bee Protected Plan covers water heater maintenance starting at $100 per year to help keep flow rate and efficiency where they should be.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tankless Water Heaters
How much does a tankless water heater cost to install?
It depends on the unit's flow rate capacity and whether gas line or venting upgrades are needed. We give you a written price after assessing your home rather than a number over the phone.
Will a tankless water heater really never run out of hot water?
As long as demand stays within the unit's rated flow capacity, yes. If several fixtures run hot water at once beyond what the unit is sized for, output can drop, which is why correct sizing at installation matters.
Do I need to upgrade my gas line for a tankless unit?
Often, yes, since tankless units draw more gas at peak demand than a tank. We assess this before recommending tankless and include any needed upgrade in the estimate.
How long do tankless water heaters last?
Tankless units typically last longer than tank units with proper maintenance, particularly annual descaling in hard water areas.
Is tankless worth it over a traditional tank?
It depends on your household's hot water use, available space and gas line capacity. We walk through the tradeoffs for your specific home rather than pushing one option.
Is tankless water heater work covered by a warranty?
Yes, every installation carries a one-year parts and labor warranty plus our 365-day satisfaction guarantee.
Do you repair tankless units from any manufacturer?
We diagnose and repair most residential tankless brands. If a part is proprietary to a manufacturer we do not stock, we will tell you that upfront rather than delay the repair.
Do I need to descale my tankless water heater myself?
Some homeowners do it themselves with a descaling kit, but many prefer to have it done as part of an annual maintenance visit along with a full system check. In hard water areas, skipping it for several years can noticeably reduce flow rate.
Can I install a tankless water heater in a home with a small gas meter?
It depends on the meter's total capacity and what else is running off it. We check this as part of the assessment, since undersizing at the meter is a common reason tankless installations underperform.
Do you offer tankless water heater repair near me in Philadelphia or New Jersey?
Yes. We dispatch from offices in Philadelphia and New Jersey, so tankless water heater installation or repair near me means a local, licensed plumber, not a subcontractor from out of the area.
