Tankless Water Heater Flush & Descale $150

Tankless water heaters should be flushed and descaled once a year—or every 6 months in areas with hard water—to keep them operating efficiently and to prevent damage.

⸻

🔧 Why You Need to Flush and Descale a Tankless Water Heater:

1. Remove Mineral Scale Buildup:

Hard water contains calcium and magnesium, which form scale inside the heat exchanger. This buildup restricts water flow and reduces heating efficiency.

2. Protect the Heat Exchanger:

Excessive scale acts like insulation, forcing the heater to work harder and increasing the risk of overheating or premature failure.

3. Maintain Efficiency:

A clean heat exchanger heats water quickly and efficiently, saving on energy bills.

4. Prevent Error Codes & Damage:

Scale can trigger warning codes, reduce water pressure, and eventually damage components if left untreated.

5. Extend System Life:

Routine flushing helps preserve the system’s internal parts, keeping your tankless unit running smoothly for 15–20 years or more.

🧪 How We Flush and Descale (Brief Overview):

• Turn off power/gas and cold water supply.

• Connect a flush pump and hoses to the service valves.

• Circulate a descaling solution (often vinegar or a commercial cleaner) for 45–60 minutes.

• Rinse thoroughly with clean water before restoring the system.

⸻

🗓️ How Often:

• Annually for most homes.

• Every 6 months if you have hard water and no water softener.

Regular flushing protects your investment, maintains performance, and avoids costly repairs down the line.
