Tankless Water Heater Maintenance & Tune-Up
Signs your tankless water heater needs to be flushed
Even if you haven’t noticed any of the signs above, you should still get your tankless water heater flushed annually. A water heater flush is an investment that can save you hundreds of dollars throughout the year by preventing costly repairs from sediment damage.
As sediment builds up in your tankless water heater and the connecting pipes, it makes the passageways smaller—reducing your unit’s flow rate.
Milky water could be a sign of sediment buildup. You can test this by filling a glass with hot water. If the the milkiness settled to the bottom, you know it’s sediment and that your tank needs to be flushed.
Roughly 15% of your electricity bill goes to heating your home’s water. As your tankless water heater loses efficiency from the increased sediment, that percentage will steadily increase.
Sediment makes your tankless water heater work harder than it should, which means it will run less efficiently and take longer to heat your home’s water.
Since sediment reduces your unit’s flow rate, you won’t have enough hot water to supply all of the fixtures you normally run at the same time.
