Worked examples, start to finish
Invented examples that walk through common tankless jobs in Fullerton houses. We wrote them to explain the process; none describes a real job, customer or price.
Every example here is illustrative, built from common situations. None is a real job, customer or address.
- Hypothetical example: a shower that swings hot and cold
This is an invented example, not a real job or customer. It walks through how several overlapping causes of tankless temperature swings might be separated and fixed.
- Hypothetical example: a heat exchanger clogged with scale
This is an invented example, not a real job or customer. It follows a tankless unit that went years without flushing in hard water and the decision the owner faced.
- Hypothetical example: a gas line too small for tankless
This is an invented example, not a real job or customer. It shows how an undersized gas line can hide until winter, and how it might be diagnosed and corrected.
- Hypothetical example: a relief valve dripping at night
This is an invented example, not a real job or customer. It follows an owner who found a puddle under the relief valve discharge and what came next.
- Hypothetical example: a remodel that added a second unit
This is an invented example, not a real job or customer. It shows how a household might weigh one bigger tankless unit against a second, smaller one when adding a bathroom.
