Tankless Maintenance

Avoid Cold Showers and Costly Repairs with Routine Tankless Maintenance

Tankless water heaters are known for their efficiency, but like any home system, they require routine care to function properly. Over time, hard water minerals can build up, sensors can wear down, and your once-reliable hot water may become inconsistent—or disappear altogether. Unfortunately, many homeowners overlook tankless maintenance, only calling for help after something goes wrong.

At Good Guys Heating, Air and Electrical Corp, we make proactive maintenance simple and stress-free. Our certified technicians specialize in cleaning, inspecting, and tuning up tankless systems to prevent breakdowns, extend lifespan, and keep energy efficiency at its peak. Unlike companies that treat maintenance as an afterthought, we view it as essential. That’s why we offer affordable service and options like our convenient maintenance plan to keep your system performing like new. Schedule your appointment today at (425) 496-7300 or contact us online.

The Importance of Regular Tankless Maintenance for System Longevity

Your tankless maintenance routine plays a direct role in the performance and lifespan of your water heater. Without it, scale can clog heat exchangers, valves can stick, and sensors can misread water demand—all of which lead to inefficiency or system failure.

Here’s what our tankless maintenance service includes:

  • Flushing the heat exchanger to remove mineral buildup
  • Cleaning air and water filters for unrestricted flow
  • Inspecting ignition and flame sensors for accurate heating
  • Checking temperature calibration and gas pressure
  • Verifying venting systems and condensate drains

These steps ensure your tankless unit delivers reliable hot water when you need it—without wasting energy or putting stress on the internal components. Maintenance also helps preserve your warranty coverage, which often requires professional servicing at least once a year.

What Happens If You Skip Maintenance?

Tankless systems may seem low-maintenance, but ignoring regular upkeep can lead to unexpected consequences. Many problems caused by poor maintenance aren’t just inconvenient—they’re expensive to fix and sometimes irreversible.

Potential issues include:

  • Reduced hot water output or sudden cold water bursts
  • Clogged flow sensors due to sediment and scale
  • Corroded heat exchangers that need full replacement
  • Error codes or system lockouts during peak usage
  • Rising utility bills from inefficient operation

With preventative care from Good Guys Heating, Air and Electrical Corp, these problems are avoidable. Our trained professionals keep your system clean and efficient so you never have to worry about surprise failures.

Customized Maintenance Based on Your Water Quality

Not all homes are the same, and neither are their water conditions. Homes with hard water need more frequent descaling than those with soft or treated water. That’s why our approach to tankless maintenance isn’t one-size-fits-all. We evaluate your water quality, usage habits, and system model to create a tailored maintenance plan that suits your home.

Need reminders or ongoing service? Our maintenance plan offers annual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on any additional services—saving you money while ensuring uninterrupted comfort.

Maintenance Benefits That Go Beyond Hot Water

Caring for your tankless system improves more than just water temperature. It also boosts energy efficiency, protects against premature replacement, and ensures safe operation in your home.

Key benefits of annual maintenance:

  • Lower monthly energy bills
  • Longer equipment life
  • Fewer repair costs
  • Consistent water temperature
  • Better overall home comfort

When your system is properly maintained, you’ll notice the difference every time you turn on a faucet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most manufacturers recommend annual maintenance to flush the system and inspect key components. Homes with hard water may need maintenance every 6–9 months. We can help you determine the right schedule during your initial visit.

While you can flush your system with a descaling solution, full maintenance—including sensor checks, gas calibration, and component inspections—should be handled by a trained professional to maintain safety and warranty compliance.

Fluctuating water temperatures, error codes, or reduced water pressure are all signs your system needs service. If it’s been over a year since your last checkup, it’s time to schedule one.
