Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Tips

If you're a homeowner with a tankless water heater, you can perform simple maintenance to keep it running smoothly. Here are three essential maintenance tasks to consider (always refer to your owner's manual for specific instructions):

  1. Annual Flush: It's advisable to flush your tankless water heater at least once a year. If you have tough water, you may need to do this more often to prevent mineral buildup.
  2. Filter Cleaning: Some tankless models have air or cold water intake filters. Regularly cleaning these filters helps maintain strong water flow.
  3. Exterior Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to clean the unit's exterior, avoiding the fan blades, heat exchanger, or burner. This routine cleaning allows you to spot any rust or issues. If you notice rust, don't hesitate to contact your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing for assistance.

How Tankless Water Heaters Work

Traditional water heaters typically consist of large storage tanks, usually around 49-50 gallons or more, and they continuously heat the water. These tanks store a large amount of hot water for household use. When these traditional water heaters are depleted, refilling and reheating them takes a long time.

Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, don't require a water storage container. They heat the water as it flows through them. The tankless water heater circulates cold water around a heat exchanger, turning it into heated water and sending it to your home through the pipes. This process provides on-demand hot water without the need for a storage tank.

We have three types of primary tankless water heaters

  • Electric-powered
  • Gas-powered
  • Propane-Powered

How often should I have my tankless water heater serviced?

Regular maintenance of a tankless water heater is essential to ensure it operates efficiently and has a long lifespan. The frequency of servicing or maintenance can vary depending on factors such as the water quality in your area and the specific make and model of your tankless unit. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. Annual Maintenance: Many manufacturers and plumbing professionals recommend annual maintenance for tankless water heaters. This maintenance typically includes flushing the unit to remove mineral buildup, checking for leaks or corrosion, inspecting and cleaning the burner or heat exchanger, and testing the safety features. Annual maintenance helps prevent issues related to mineral scaling and ensures optimal performance.

  2. Water Quality: If you live in an area with particularly hard water (water that contains a high level of minerals), you may need more frequent maintenance. Hard water can lead to mineral deposits building up more quickly inside the heat exchanger, reducing efficiency and potentially causing damage. In such cases, semi-annual maintenance might be necessary.

  3. User Manual: Always refer to the user manual or manufacturer's recommendations for your specific tankless water heater. The manual will provide guidelines for maintenance intervals and procedures tailored to your unit.

  4. Professional Inspection: It's a good idea to have a professional plumber or technician inspect your tankless water heater annually or as the manufacturer recommends. They can identify and address potential issues that you might overlook.

  5. Self-Maintenance: Some routine maintenance tasks can be performed by homeowners, such as cleaning filters, checking for error codes on the unit's display, and ensuring proper ventilation. However, more complex maintenance tasks, like flushing the unit, are typically best left to professionals.

  6. Water Softeners: If your home has a water softening system, it can help reduce mineral buildup in your tankless water heater. Regularly maintaining your water softener can indirectly contribute to the extended lifespan of your tankless unit.

  7. Age of the Unit: Older tankless water heaters may require frequent maintenance and inspections, as they can be more susceptible to issues.
