Keeping your tankless water heater in optimal condition is essential for its proper functioning. Here are three maintenance steps you should follow, but remember to consult your owner's manual for model-specific instructions:
- Perform a yearly tankless water heater flush. If you have hard water, more frequent flushes are recommended to prevent mineral buildup and damage to your unit.
- Regularly clean air filters or cold-water inlet filters if your model has them. This will ensure a strong and uninterrupted flow of water.
- Clean the exterior cabinet of the unit with a damp cloth (except for the fan blades, heat exchanger, and burner). This will allow for a thorough visual inspection, and if any rust is noticed, contact your local Mr. Rooter Plumbing for assistance.
