Construction Workers

Maintaining your on-demand hot water system

Tankless Hot Water HeatingThe popularity of On Demand (Tank-less) hot water systems has been on the rise for some time now.  While North Americans have been a bit slower than other parts of the world to catch on to this technology, the demand for these systems is ever increasing in both Canada and the US. We at Canada Furnace install hundreds of instant hot water heaters in Surrey.

There is good reason for this.  There are manufacturers who build very high quality, effective and efficient units and today’s professional HVAC installers know how to ensure that they are installed to best effect.

So you’ve had one (or more) of these wondrous units installed – what, if anything can I do to maintain it correctly?

Two hot water heater maintenance items

Other than having a professional HVAC technician give it a thorough check over at least once every 24 months, there are essentially 2 maintenance items that the average home owner can easily accomplish.

The first is to flush the tankless hot water heater.  Fortunately, in our part of the world, the water is relatively “soft” i.e. it contains a small percentage of minerals.  Nevertheless, any minerals in the water that passes through an on demand unit is heated so quickly that the minerals leech off and start to build up in parts of the unit (calcification).  Your owner’s manual will spell out the procedure for flushing and for further guidance a quick call to your HVAC professional couldn’t hurt.

Clean the intake filter on your hot water heater

The other thing that requires cleaning about twice a year is the intake air filter.  Again, the manual will show you how to remove it and recommended cleaning method, although, the filter is typically a fine mesh metal screen which can be washed, dried and re-installed in about 5 minutes.

Normally, any other maintenance should be left to the pros!
