Although tankless water heaters don’t store water, the system still should be flushed from time to time. There are also two filters in tankless water heaters that stop buildup or debris from getting through, and our techs examine and clean those thoroughly.
Homeowners should schedule hot water heater maintenance 1-2 times per year, depending on the model of water heater, energy source and neighborhood water quality. Tankless water heaters should have maintenance done twice annually.
Maintenance plans are worth the money for many reasons. Having routine maintenance for both tank and tankless water heaters can reduce the need for expensive repairs because things are less likely to break. You can also extend the life span of your water heater, preventing premature replacement.
