Do Tankless Water Heaters Need Maintenance?


Tankless water heaters are economical, efficient, deliver instant hot water, and save space. A quality tankless water heater can provide your home with hot water on demand for well over a decade.


But just like traditional storage tank water heaters, tankless water heaters require maintenance. The good news is, they require far less maintenance than a standard water heater.


Tankless Water Heater Maintenance in Pelham, NY 

All mechanical equipment requires maintenance to keep it running efficiently. Regular maintenance can extend the life of your tankless water heater by five to ten years.


You should perform maintenance on your tankless water heater in Pelham, NY, once a year if you have a water softener. Hard water areas require maintenance twice a year as the minerals in hard water can cause scaling in the system. 


What Does Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Involve?

Regular maintenance will ensure that the components in your system continue to work efficiently. During your water heater maintenance in Pelham, NY, we will perform the following tasks:


  • Inspect the System


An inspection involves examining all of the heating elements, pipes, and valves. We check for leaks and rust and will clean any dirt or debris from the unit.


  • Flush the System


Flushing the system will remove any mineral buildup that has accumulated. Even if you have soft water, minerals can build up in the system and cause damage or blockages. 


  • Clean the Air Filter


Cleaning the air intake filter inside the tankless water heater will ensure that there’s unrestricted airflow throughout the system.


  • Clean the Water Filter


Most tankless systems have a water filter to trap sediment. Cleaning this filter will remove any buildup.


We make water heater maintenance in Pelham, NY, easy. We offer a tankless water heater maintenance plan that will keep your system in optimal condition at a price you can afford.
