TANKLESS WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE
Having a tankless water heater installed is not a small investment, and routine tankless water heater maintenance in the Seattle-Tacoma metro area can not only extend the life of the unit, but also help maintain its high efficiency. Regular maintenance also helps to keep your operating costs down. Schedule tankless water heater maintenance today.
Common Reasons for Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
- YOU HAVE A TANKLESS WATER HEATER INSTALLED IN YOUR HOME OR COMMERCIAL PROPERTY
- YOUR TANKLESS WATER HEATER HASN’T HAD RECENT MAINTENANCE PERFORMED
- REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON YOUR TANKLESS WATER HEATER IS NECESSARY
When Water Flows Through Your Tankless Water Heater and Is Heated, Minerals Build Up
When water flows through your tankless water heater and is heated, minerals build up in the heat exchanger. As these minerals continue to build up the heat exchanger becomes less efficient, increasing your operating costs. Additionally, if left un-checked, the mineral build up can cause damage to the heat exchanger, eventually ending in major costs, up to possibly replacing the entire unit.

We recommend having your tankless water heater maintenance done at least every 2 years, and if you live in an area with hard water (or your water is supplied by a well), at least annually, if not 2x a year.

Common Water Heater Questions:
How often should I replace my hot water heater?
A hot water heater needs to be replaced about once every 10 years, though some newer models can last as long as 15–20 years with proper annual maintenance.
How do I know if there is a problem with my water heater?
The most common sign that there’s a problem in your hot water heater is if you notice your hot water supply dropping sharply or if it doesn’t last nearly as long as it once did.
The easiest way to keep your water heater running to its maximum performance is with regular maintenance and sediment removal. Over time, sediment that builds up in your tank can include debris from your pipes or hard metals like iron and lead. It’s not unsafe, but it can reduce the efficiency of your system substantially. This type of cleaning should be done at least once a year to avoid corrosion or wearing down of the parts inside the heater.

How hot should my water be?
The default setting on many hot water heaters is 140°F, but that’s actually about 20°F warmer than is necessary for household tasks like showering, washing dishes, or cleaning clothes. We recommend setting the temperature to 120°F.
How can I reduce my hot water costs?
An easy way to reduce your hot water costs is to insulate your water tank. Insulation can significantly reduce the amount of energy required to heat your hot water. Proper insulation should be used to avoid any potential fire hazards and to reduce heat loss. Our expert technicians can help you choose the right insulation for your particular system.
If you have a heat pump installed, you can use the excess energy drawn from your home during the summer months to heat your hot water. Many hot water tanks provide a way to introduce alternative energy sources to the heating elements. Make sure to ask about this option when your technician installs your hot water heater or during a regular maintenance visit. It may reduce the cost of hot water for 2–4 months out of the year.
