TANKLESS WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE

Tankless Hot Water Heater Maintenance and Repair

A tankless water heater is also known as an instantaneous heater and warms water on demand for you and your family. According to Energy.gov, they are 24-34% more energy-efficient than a standard system & can supply more hot water more quickly, leaving them in high demand. Unfortunately, most of the tankless heaters don’t come with warranties. 

Hot water heaters can break down at any time & put a severe hold on your home’s daily activities. Regular tankless hot water heater maintenance is essential: flushing once a year, testing safety valves, and cleaning filters, all help prevent scale buildup and extend your system’s lifespan.

A professional tankless water heater maintenance and repair service can keep your home running efficiently. We are Navien, Rheem and Rinnai PROs so we’ll be sure you’re taken care of!

Bertin did a wonderful job. He took care of a very challenging situation saving us from what would have soon been a much costlier headache.

Great call to business with a prompt scheduling of tech on a Friday afternoon. Tech was on time courteous professional and transparent about pricing. I only paid what was quoted and not an additional arbitrary figure. This is a local family business that I would use and recommend again. This review was earned by this company.
William Dupree
We had Proficient Plumbing do a large job, they connected our detached garage to the water main at our house. It was about 300' away, they had to use a trenching machine and navigate the driveway and a stone wall. They treated the job like they were working on their own house, they paid particular attention to ensuring that they didn't uproot any trees or damage our stone wall. After the trenching was finished and they covered the trench you wouldn't even know they had been there. They used quality materials and went one-step above and beyond by installing a tracer wire - I was impressed. They called me before they came out and immediately following the job to ensure that I was happy. The staff were incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable - they will be my go to for any plumbing needs in the future.
Todd Simmons
We used Proficient Plumbing on a major job replacing all the water lines in our home. We talked to people who used them in the past for similar jobs, and they were highly recommended. I felt the estimate they gave us was reasonable. Owner Bertin Jaimes said it would take 2 weeks from beginning to end, and they completed the job on time. We could not have been happier with the results. They were very professional and were very conscious of doing a clean job, minimizing damage to our home. The crew – Bertin, Frankie, Chris, and Garrett – could not have been more accommodating. They made sure we understood the work being planned each day and when necessary to have the water turned off, they gave us plenty of notice so we could plan accordingly. We are very satisfied customers and would highly recommend them.
Tommy and Carolyn Joyner
We had the pleasure of having Bertin and his colleague help us with an issue in our furnace, and we could not be happier with the service we received. They went above and beyond to immediately solve our problem, especially since our gas was shut off. We recommend choosing them to help support small biz, and if you want professional, speedy, and good quality service. 🙂
Ramon Chavez
I had my thermocouple go out on my water heater. Based on my initial debug, I knew this was the issue. I got a quote from them over the phone. They came and verified the issue and did not make up any other problem. They fix it and charge me what we agreed on over the phone.
K H
We had an emergency water issue on a Sunday, when we drilled through our main water line by accident while hanging things in our garage. We called Bertin at Proficient Plumbing and he came out within 15 minutes of our call, on a SUNDAY. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the issue, and knew just how to fix it. He had our water line fixed and water back on within 45 minutes of arriving. Outstanding customer service and his work was flawless. 10/10 would recommend and use again!
