Frequently Asked Questions About Tankless Water Heater Maintenance
How often should I schedule maintenance for my tankless water heater?
For optimal performance and longevity, we recommend professional maintenance annually for most residential tankless water heaters in Calgary. However, homes with harder water may benefit from service every 6-8 months to prevent excessive scale buildup. Regular maintenance prevents efficiency loss, extends equipment life, and helps avoid unexpected failures. Our technicians can assess your specific water conditions and usage patterns to recommend the ideal maintenance schedule for your system.
What does tankless water heater maintenance include?
Our comprehensive maintenance includes descaling to remove mineral buildup, cleaning or replacing water filters, inspecting and cleaning the heat exchanger, checking electrical connections, testing safety controls, verifying gas pressure (for gas models), inspecting venting systems, and calibrating temperature settings. For recirculation systems, we also check pump function and settings. This thorough process typically takes 60-90 minutes and restores your system to peak efficiency while preventing component failure.
How much money can regular tankless maintenance save?
Regular maintenance delivers significant cost savings through multiple channels. First, it prevents efficiency losses that typically increase energy consumption by 20-30% when systems are neglected. Second, it extends equipment lifespan—properly maintained tankless units typically last 20+ years versus 7-10 years for neglected systems. Finally, it prevents catastrophic failures that can cost $800-$1500 to repair. For the average Calgary home, annual maintenance can represent lifetime savings of $3,000-$5,000 compared to neglected systems.
Can I perform tankless water heater maintenance myself?
While some basic maintenance tasks like external filter cleaning can be performed by homeowners, comprehensive maintenance requires specialized equipment, chemicals, and technical knowledge. DIY descaling kits often provide incomplete cleaning and can damage components if used incorrectly. Our professional maintenance includes full system diagnostics, safety checks, and manufacturer-specific procedures that identify potential issues before they become problems. For optimal results and to maintain warranty coverage, we recommend professional maintenance by our certified technicians.
