Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
Tankless water heaters require annual maintenance to perform efficiently. Without regular service, mineral scale builds up inside the heat exchanger, reducing efficiency and eventually causing system failures.
Columbia Water Quality: The Midlands has moderately hard water from Lake Murray and other sources. This means mineral deposits accumulate faster than in soft water areas. Annual descaling is essential, not optional.
What We Check
- Heat Exchanger — Flush with descaling solution to remove mineral buildup
- Inlet Filter — Clean or replace the water inlet screen
- Burner Assembly — Inspect for proper flame and combustion
- Venting System — Check for blockages or deterioration
- Error Log — Review stored codes for developing issues
- Gas Pressure — Verify proper supply pressure
Maintenance Frequency
We recommend annual maintenance for most Columbia-area homes. Homes with especially hard water or heavy usage may benefit from more frequent service. Consistent maintenance extends equipment life and maintains efficiency.
