At T.E. Spall & Son, our licensed and insured HVAC technicians provide a comprehensive range of maintenance services to keep your tankless water heater in exceptional condition.
Why Is Maintenance Important for Tankless Water Heaters?
Regular maintenance is essential for your tankless water heater, as with all home appliances. For starters, manufacturers will require verification that you’ve adhered to maintenance schedules if you ever need to file a claim for warranty coverage.
It’s also a safety issue. Keeping your system in good repair ensures that all electrical, gas, and water connections are properly secured and free of clogs or other hazards.
Staying on top of maintenance helps improve your tankless water heater’s energy efficiency and performance. This reduces your monthly utility bills and the size of your carbon footprint and ensures that you have all the hot water required for cooking, bathing, cleaning, washing, etc.

- If you have a gas unit, regularly change your air filter.

FAQs
How important is flow rate when choosing a tankless water heater?
It’s very important. If your system has a flow rate below your needs, it will struggle to deliver the hot water you need. This can increase wear and tear and significantly reduce your comfort and the lifespan of your system.
What's the difference between electric and gas-fired tankless water heaters?
Both are exceptional and reliable. Both will deliver energy-efficient performance and can significantly reduce your monthly utility bills. They differ in the flow rate and the speed of providing hot water. In this regard, gas-fired systems are usually the better choice if you need faster hot water or a higher flow rate for multiple showers, dishwashers, washing machines, etc.
Can I install multiple tankless systems?
Absolutely. It’s common to choose smaller tankless systems for installation in individual bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, etc. This won’t reduce water flow or add significantly to your monthly utility bill.
