Tankless units fail differently from storage tanks. Rather than a slow tank leak, you're more often dealing with an ignition or flame-sensor fault, a flow sensor misreading demand, a fouled heat exchanger reducing output, or a venting issue triggering a safety shutdown. Most units display a fault indicator that narrows the diagnosis considerably before the technician even opens the unit.
| Issue | Typical fix | Ballpark |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition or flame sensor fault | Sensor/igniter replacement | Lower-mid of $250-$900 |
| Flow sensor / inconsistent output | Sensor or filter service | Lower-mid of $250-$900 |
| Scale-fouled heat exchanger | Descaling flush | Separate service, $250-$450 |
| Control board fault | Board replacement | Upper end of $250-$900 |
Descaling is routine maintenance rather than a repair, priced separately at $250-$450, but it's worth mentioning here because a scale-fouled heat exchanger can produce symptoms — reduced output, temperature swings, even certain fault codes — that look like a part failure but resolve with a flush instead of a parts replacement.
A tankless unit installed on a gas line that's marginal for its demand can show intermittent ignition faults that look like a component problem but actually trace back to inadequate gas pressure at peak firing — something more likely to surface in Haney's older housing stock where gas infrastructure predates tankless technology. A thorough diagnostic checks gas pressure under load, not just at rest, to rule this out before replacing a part unnecessarily.
Wall-mounted tankless units are generally easier to access than a floor-standing tank, but on Haney properties with below-grade mechanical rooms reached by steep or narrow stairs, travel and setup time can add slightly to the visit. It's helpful to mention this when booking.
If the unit is throwing a fault code and hasn't been descaled recently, it's often worth requesting that first, since it resolves a meaningful share of tankless service calls on its own without needing to replace any parts at all.
Safety note
Gas smell, soot around a draft hood, or a headache that clears when you leave the house are not DIY diagnostics — get everyone out and call FortisBC at 1-800-663-9911 from a safe distance before doing anything else.
Generally no — it's designed to shut down safely rather than keep running with a fault, so it can typically wait for a scheduled diagnostic unless you also smell gas, in which case leave and call FortisBC.
Descaling is scheduled maintenance to remove mineral buildup and costs $250-$450, while a repair addresses a specific failed part and runs $250-$900.
It's possible, particularly in older homes — inadequate gas pressure under peak demand can trigger ignition faults that mimic a part failure, which is why a thorough diagnostic checks pressure under load.
In most cases yes, since individual part replacements are inexpensive relative to a new install, unless the unit has a history of repeat failures.
It can add a small amount of time for a below-grade or hard-to-reach mechanical room, though the repair pricing itself doesn't change.
Not reliably — both can cause similar symptoms like reduced hot water output, which is why a proper diagnostic visit is worth it before assuming a part needs replacing.
No, warranty terms are set by the manufacturer and tied to the original installation date, so check your certificate rather than assume a repair extends coverage.
