Tankless Water Heater Repair in Wilmington, NC
How to Maintain a Tankless Water Heater
A tankless water heater works by heating water rapidly using gas or electricity. Rather than slowly heating water and storing it in a porcelain tank, tankless heaters heat water almost instantly as it passes through. Whether you use a gas heater or an electric one, performing routine maintenance is important.
What our technicians do depends on the kind of water heater you have. We can service both electric and gas tankless water heaters.
Maintaining a Gas Tankless Water Heater
Tankless heaters that run on gas should usually be serviced once a year. It’s important for both the heater’s durability and your safety to have the system inspected to ensure there are no gas leaks or damaged gas lines.
The water filter and water lines may also need to be flushed to clear them of any deposits that could block water intake. If you’ve noticed lower water pressure when you use the hot water, this may be a sign you need to flush your heater.
Maintaining an Electric Tankless Water Heater
The heating elements on electric heaters lose their potency over time. We recommend an annual inspection to make sure these parts are still in good condition. Like gas heaters, the water lines on electric heaters also need to be flushed periodically. You may need to do this more often if you have hard water.
