Tankless water heaters are known for being low-maintenance, but that doesn’t mean no maintenance. Over time, hard water minerals and daily use can lead to performance issues, even in high-end systems. You might start to notice it takes longer for water to heat up, or the temperature fluctuates without warning. That’s probably why you’re here, right?
Every manufacturer recommends yearly professional maintenance—and your warranty likely depends on it. The good news? We make it easy.

Your water heater installer may have shared a few maintenance tips when it was installed—if it was us, we definitely did. Or maybe you’ve looked things up and tried flushing the system or checking the filter yourself. That’s a solid start, and plenty of homeowners try things like vinegar flushes, cleaning the outside, or resetting error codes when they pop up.
But tankless water heaters are more complex than they seem, and basic DIY upkeep only goes so far. That’s why most manufacturers recommend—or require—professional maintenance at least once a year that includes:
We handle all of that—and more—in a typical maintenance visit that takes about an hour. It’s quick, affordable, and easy to schedule. You’ll get professional service that keeps your system protected, your hot water reliable, and your day moving without a hitch.
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand using burners or heating elements, sensors, and a heat exchanger—all working together in real time. That efficiency is one of the biggest perks, but in Sacramento, hard water, mineral content, and seasonal shifts in usage can take a toll. Add in factors like installation quality, water pressure, and how often it’s used, and you’ve got a system that needs regular attention to keep up.
That’s why annual tankless water heater maintenance is so important. Here’s what we do during your tankless water heater service visit:
Hard water in the Sacramento area causes mineral buildup that restricts flow and stresses your system. We perform a full flush using a descaling solution to remove scale from the heat exchanger and internal components. This helps your unit run more efficiently and prevents long-term damage.
Your tankless system has a small water filter that catches debris before it enters the heater. We remove, clean, or replace this filter to prevent clogs and ensure steady water flow. A dirty filter can trigger error codes or reduce performance without warning.
We check for soot buildup, dust, or corrosion that can affect combustion or heat transfer. Our techs clean the burner assembly and inspect flame quality to ensure your unit is heating water safely and evenly. A clean heat exchanger also extends the life of your system.
Vent blockages or disconnected piping can cause performance issues or create safety hazards. We inspect all air intake and exhaust components to ensure nothing is blocked or out of alignment. Proper airflow keeps your system efficient—and keeps you safe.
We test flow sensors, temperature sensors, gas valves, and ignition systems to make sure everything is responding correctly. Then we run the unit to check for any error codes, inconsistent water temps, or lag. It’s a full system checkup that helps prevent surprise failures.
While we’re performing your tankless water heater maintenance, we can also take care of small repairs on the spot—like a worn filter or a loose connection. Our service trucks are stocked with common parts, so we’re ready to fix most issues right then and there. If something more involved comes up, we’ll walk you through what’s going on and schedule a follow-up if needed.
One of the biggest perks of regular maintenance? You’ll know how your system’s holding up. Most tankless water heaters last 10 to 15 years, and when it’s time for a replacement, we’ll be ready to help with that too.
We know—we’re not the only plumbers in the Sacramento area. With so many nearby cities and plumbers in your neighborhood, the pool of water heater companies gets pretty big. But we’re not here to blend in. We’re here to show up, get to work, and deliver the kind of service and respect you deserve. It’s why we started back in 1999, and it’s exactly how we’ll keep doing business—one job at a time.
