Plumbing Repairs
Fix Plumbing Problems Before They Cause More Damage
A plumbing problem rarely improves on its own. Small leaks can waste water and damage cabinets, flooring, drywall and surrounding building materials. Loose fittings, deteriorated supply lines and faulty valves can also fail unexpectedly.
Prompt plumbing repairs may help prevent a minor problem from becoming a more extensive and expensive project.
Contact Nova Fireplace & Stove if you notice:
- Dripping faucets
- Water beneath sinks or fixtures
- Leaking pipes or supply lines
- Running toilets
- Low water pressure
- Unusual plumbing noises
- Water stains on walls or ceilings
- Corrosion around pipes or valves
- Damp or musty areas near plumbing
- Inconsistent hot water
- Water heater error messages
- Fixtures that are loose or not operating properly
Our team can inspect the problem, explain what is causing it and recommend the appropriate repair.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Enjoy Hot Water Without a Traditional Storage Tank
A tankless water heater warms water as it is needed rather than storing a large volume of heated water in a tank.
For many homeowners, this provides a compact and energy-conscious alternative to a conventional water heater. A properly selected tankless system can supply hot water based on household demand while eliminating the need to continuously heat water stored in a tank.
NOVA Fireplace & Stove installs tankless water heaters for homeowners throughout Woodbridge and Northern Virginia.
A tankless water heater may offer benefits such as:
- Hot water produced on demand
- Reduced standby energy loss
- A compact, space-saving design
- Longer potential equipment life with proper maintenance
- Less risk of water damage from a failed storage tank
- Consistent hot water when the system is properly sized
- Improved energy efficiency compared with some older tank-style systems
- The ability to support modern household hot-water needs
The actual performance and savings will depend on the selected unit, household demand, fuel source, installation and maintenance.
Choosing the Right Tankless Water Heater
Tankless water heaters are not one-size-fits-all. The system must be selected based on the amount of hot water your household may need at one time.
Before recommending a system, our team may consider:
- The number of people in the household
- The number of bathrooms
- The number of fixtures that may operate simultaneously
- Incoming water temperature
- Desired hot-water temperature
- Available natural gas, propane or electrical capacity
- Existing gas line size
- Venting requirements
- Installation location
- Plumbing configuration
- Plans for future additions or renovations
A properly sized water heater is important for reliable performance. A unit that is too small may not provide enough hot water when multiple fixtures are being used.
Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
Protect Performance With Routine Professional Service
Tankless water heaters require regular maintenance to continue operating reliably. Minerals in the water can accumulate inside the heat exchanger and reduce water flow, heating performance and efficiency.
Routine maintenance can help remove mineral buildup, identify developing issues and extend the useful life of the equipment.
Depending on the unit and its condition, tankless water heater maintenance may include:
- Inspecting the water heater
- Checking for visible leaks or corrosion
- Flushing the heat exchanger
- Removing mineral and scale buildup
- Cleaning accessible filters or screens
- Inspecting water and gas connections
- Checking venting components
- Reviewing error codes
- Testing system operation
- Checking water temperature
- Identifying parts that may require repair
- Recommending additional service when necessary
Annual maintenance is especially important in homes with hard water or high hot-water usage.
Signs Your Tankless Water Heater Needs Service
Contact Nova Fireplace & Stove if you notice:
- Water is not getting hot
- Hot water runs cold unexpectedly
- Water temperature fluctuates
- The system takes longer to produce hot water
- Water flow has decreased
- The unit displays an error code
- The heater makes unusual sounds
- There is visible water near the unit
- You notice corrosion or mineral buildup
- The system shuts down unexpectedly
- It has been more than a year since the last maintenance visit
Ignoring warning signs may lead to reduced performance, higher operating costs or a more extensive repair.
Should You Replace a Traditional Water Heater with a Tankless System?
A tankless water heater can be an excellent option for many homes, but the decision should be based on the property, household needs and installation requirements.
A tankless system may be worth considering if:
- Your current water heater is nearing the end of its service life
- You frequently run out of hot water
- You want to free up floor space
- You are renovating your home
- You want to improve energy efficiency
- You want to eliminate a large storage tank
- Your household hot-water needs have changed
- You are replacing an outdated or inefficient system
The conversion may require modifications to the plumbing, gas line, venting or electrical system. Nova Fireplace & Stove can evaluate the complete project and explain what will be required.
Why Professional Water Heater Installation Matters
Improper tankless water heater installation can lead to inconsistent hot water, poor performance, water leaks, venting problems and equipment damage.
A professional installation helps ensure that:
- The unit is properly sized
- Water lines are connected correctly
- Gas piping is appropriately sized
- Electrical requirements are met
- Venting is installed correctly
- Condensate is properly managed
- Required clearances are maintained
- The system complies with applicable installation requirements
- Permits and inspections are coordinated when required
- The equipment is tested before use
Professional installation can also help protect the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.
