Why is my tankless hot water heater frozen?

Cold weather can cause frozen pipes and a frozen water heater. If water flows, the tankless water heater has thawed. Carefully inspect the external pipes, internal components, and the plumbing for leaks. If everything looks good, you can OPEN the Gas and Water Valves and turn the Electrical Power ON.

Why does my tankless water heater get cold?

First off, this is a common tankless problem called a “cold water sandwich”. This problem happens because the heat exchanger (the part that actually heats the water) takes a while to warm up. Before it fully warms up and starts heating the water, you get a short run of cold water.

How does a Bosch tankless hot water heater work?

Bosch tankless water heaters work “on-demand” to produce hot water when needed, for as long as needed. There is no storage tank, so you never have to worry about running out of hot water or waiting for the tank to recover, even during peak use. A tank style hot water heater keeps water hot 24 hours a day, whether it is needed or not.
