Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Services

---

Without proper maintenance, your tankless water heater may not provide a steady supply of hot water for activities such as showering, washing dishes or cleaning your clothes. While inconsistent hot water begins as a moderate inconvenience, it can quickly become a chronic unpleasant problem.

Although a tankless water heater does not store hot water in a tank, water still needs to flow through the system to be heated, which leaves mineral deposits behind. If left untreated, sediment buildup can eventually decrease efficiency, clog the system and limit the flow rate causing the unit to work harder than needed.

From diagnosing and repairing your old unit to providing you with replacement options, we make any water heater services a hassle-free and convenient process.

Call us today at (403) 945-8324 to schedule tankless water heater maintenance services in the Calgary and Airdrie area.

Although tankless water heaters are reliable and low-maintenance plumbing appliances, to perform efficently they require annual professional maintenance. Two important reasons to service your unit yearly are: 

• With regular use, normal wear and tear can loosen or damage essential mechanisms which can lead to water heater repairs or even total unit replacement if the proper maintenance isn’t done annually.

• Minerals found in hard water cause sediment buildup the negatively affects tankless water heaters. As hard water circulates through a tankless water heater, calcium and magnesium are left behind. These minerals overtime gradually build up within the heat exchanger and ports, eventually clogging up the passages until water can’t flow through smoothly.

Performing professional maintenance can avoid the issues noted above, and ensure you get the most from your investment. Tankless water heaters are not cheap to replace and worth the time and money to maintain them regularly, because they will last twice as long as a conventional water heater is properly maintained.
