Our Customer Reviews

Why Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Matters

Unlike traditional water heaters, tankless systems heat water on demand, reducing energy use and providing unlimited hot water. However, because they process water directly through heating elements, mineral buildup, sediment accumulation, and system wear can impact efficiency over time.

Regular maintenance prevents:

  • Mineral buildup & scaling: Hard water deposits reduce efficiency and cause overheating.
  • Low water pressure: Clogged filters and pipes restrict flow, leading to system shutdowns.
  • Uneven water temperature: A failing heat exchanger or sensor can cause fluctuations.
  • Component wear & tear: Regular inspections catch small issues before they cause failures.
  • Error codes & shutdowns: Routine maintenance helps avoid unexpected malfunctions.

Scheduling annual tankless water heater maintenance ensures consistent hot water, better energy efficiency, and a longer-lasting system.

How Often Should You Schedule Tankless Water Heater Maintenance?

Most tankless water heater manufacturers, including Navien and Bradford White, recommend annual maintenance to maintain warranty coverage and ensure optimal performance.

However, in areas with hard water, more frequent maintenance may be necessary. We recommend:

  • Once per year for households with moderate water usage.
  • Every 6 months if you have hard water or high-demand usage.
  • After major system errors or long periods of inactivity.

Regular service prolongs the life of your unit, reduces energy costs, and prevents sudden failures.

Comprehensive Tankless Water Heater Maintenance Services

At Rocket Plumbing & Drain, our tankless water heater maintenance service is designed to keep your Navien or Bradford White system operating at peak performance.

Full System Descaling & Flushing

Hard water is a leading cause of tankless water heater efficiency loss. Over time, mineral buildup and limescale deposits form inside the heat exchanger, causing restricted water flow, overheating, and reduced performance.

Our professional descaling service includes:

  • Flushing the system with descaling solution to remove mineral deposits.
  • Cleaning the heat exchanger to restore full heating efficiency.
  • Testing water flow and temperature output for proper function.

Inlet Screen & Filter Cleaning

Tankless water heaters have built-in filters that prevent sediment and debris from entering the system. These filters can become clogged, leading to low water pressure, ignition issues, and poor heating performance.

Our maintenance includes:

  • Inspecting and cleaning water inlet filters to ensure unrestricted flow.
  • Removing debris and sediment buildup that could cause pressure fluctuations.
  • Checking for signs of pipe blockages that could indicate system strain.

Gas Line & Ignition System Inspection

For gas-powered tankless water heaters, the ignition system must be clean, properly calibrated, and operating safely. A faulty ignition can lead to delayed heating, system shutdowns, or gas leaks.

We perform a full ignition system check, including:

  • Gas pressure testing to confirm safe operation.
  • Ignitor and burner inspection for wear or blockages.
  • Flame sensor cleaning to prevent startup failures.

Electrical Component Testing

Tankless water heaters rely on electronic control boards and sensors to regulate heating. Over time, electrical components can fail, causing system malfunctions or error codes.

During maintenance, we:

  • Test and reset control boards to ensure accurate system function.
  • Inspect heating elements for wear and proper output.
  • Check error code logs for early signs of trouble.

Leak Inspection & System Efficiency Check

Leaks in tankless water heaters may reduce efficiency and lead to costly damage if not addressed early. Our plumbers inspect:

  • Water and gas connections for leaks or loose fittings.
  • Heat exchangers for signs of corrosion or cracks.
  • Condensate drains to ensure proper drainage and prevent moisture damage.

By performing routine checks, we prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep your Navien or Bradford White tankless water heater running smoothly.

Preventative Maintenance for Your Tankless Water Heater

Regular maintenance and tune-ups can help extend the lifespan of your tankless water heater and reduce the need for costly repairs. Our maintenance services include:

  • Descaling & Flushing: Removes mineral buildup and restores heating efficiency.
  • Filter Cleaning: Prevents clogs and water pressure issues.
  • Ignition System Check: Ensures gas burners or electrical elements function properly.
  • Leak Inspection: Identifies small leaks before they become major issues.

With a routine maintenance plan, your tankless water heater will remain efficient, reliable, and long-lasting.

Tankless Water Heater Maintenance: Frequently Asked Questions

Routine tankless water heater maintenance ensures optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity. Without maintenance, mineral buildup, clogged filters, and worn-out components can reduce efficiency, cause system malfunctions, and increase energy costs. Professional service helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and extends the life of your Navien or Bradford White tankless water heater.

Most manufacturers, including Navien and Bradford White, recommend annual maintenance. However, if you live in an area with hard water, maintenance may be required every six months to prevent excessive mineral buildup and scaling inside the unit.

Skipping regular maintenance can lead to reduced water pressure, fluctuating water temperatures, ignition failures, increased energy costs, and premature system failure. Over time, hard water deposits can damage the heat exchanger, filters, and sensors, leading to costly repairs or replacement.

At Rocket Plumbing & Drain, our comprehensive tankless water heater maintenance service includes:

  • Descaling & flushing to remove mineral buildup and prevent overheating.
  • Filter cleaning to ensure proper water flow and system efficiency.
  • Gas line and burner inspection for safety and performance.
  • Ignition system and sensor testing to prevent startup failures.
  • Leak detection and pressure testing to identify potential issues early.

Yes. Hard water causes scale buildup inside the heat exchanger, reducing efficiency and causing overheating, low water pressure, and erratic temperature fluctuations. If your home has hard water, we recommend more frequent flushing and descaling to protect your system.

While some homeowners attempt DIY flushing, professional service ensures a thorough and safe descaling process. Our licensed plumbers use manufacturer-approved cleaning solutions and specialized equipment to remove mineral deposits without damaging sensitive components.

If you notice any of the following issues, it's time for professional maintenance:

  • Fluctuating water temperatures
  • Reduced hot water flow or pressure
  • Error codes or warning lights
  • Loud noises like hissing or banging
  • Gas smell or unusual system shutdowns

Yes! A clean, well-maintained tankless water heater runs more efficiently, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. Regular maintenance ensures consistent hot water, lower utility bills, and fewer emergency repairs.

Yes! Rocket Plumbing & Drain provides tankless water heater maintenance for homes and businesses throughout Chester Springs, PA & the Main Line Area, including Exton, Downingtown, Bryn Mawr, Wayne, Devon, Paoli, Radnor, and Villanova.
