Tankless water heaters generally require professional maintenance once a year. That includes descaling the system. Descaling involves using a recirculating pump to cycle a cleaning agent through the system. That removes any limescale and sludge that may have built up over time.

Left unchecked, that accumulation can decrease efficiency, increase operating costs, and shorten the system’s lifespan. It’s also important for your plumber to check valves, connections, and insulation and to replace the air filter.

A dirty filter can result in airflow blockages for both the intake and exhaust. This can lead to overheating, which is one reason a tankless water heater may turn off intermittently. Shutoffs and failure to start can also be related to the electric ignition system. Most on-demand water heaters, including fuel-burning models, have this type of starter. In some cases, your plumber will need to reset it. In other cases, you may have to replace a worn-out igniter.

You may have to decide between a tankless water heater repair or a replacement. One consideration is the repair cost. If the replacement parts and labor will be expensive, it may be better to replace the water heater. Replacement may also be preferable if your water heater is old or in poor condition. The 15-year mark is usually when you should lean more toward replacement than repair.

There is a wide range of modern options for customers who need a new tankless water heater installation. The available flow rates are much higher than even a decade ago. Designs have become more sophisticated, too. Many models, for instance, come standard with recirculating pumps. There are also tax credits and rebates that can help you save.
