Professional 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. 

Our experienced, local Airdrie plumbing company offers tankless water heater maintenance for all makes and models of tankless water heaters. Call us today at (403) 945-8324 to schedule tankless water heater maintenance services in the Airdrie or Calgary area.

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

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

• Minerals found in hard water cause sediment buildup that negatively affects on-demand 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 services regularly can avoid the issues noted above and ensure you get the most from your investment. Benefits of regular maintenance and descaling your tankless water heater include:

• Efficient Performance:  If you continually remove mineral buildup with annual maintenance, your tankless unit will perform like new for the duration of its life span 

• Fewer Breakdowns: Tankless water heaters that receive service annually are less likely to stop working suddenly than neglected units. A quick maintenance visit is all it takes to ensure you won’t have to deal with unexpected repairs or complete system failures.

• Longer Life Span With Regular Maintenance: A tankless unit can last 20 years or more ensuring you get the most out of your unit.

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 storage water heater if properly maintained.
