What Are the Potential Challenges of Installing a Tankless Water Heater?
While tankless water heaters offer many benefits, there are potential challenges to consider during installation. One common issue is that tankless systems may require an upgrade to your home’s electrical or gas supply to accommodate the higher power demand. This can add to the initial installation cost. Additionally, tankless water heaters require proper sizing to meet your household’s hot water needs—if undersized, they may not provide sufficient hot water during peak usage. Installation also requires careful placement and adequate ventilation, especially for gas-powered models. Lastly, regular maintenance is crucial to prevent mineral buildup, particularly in areas with hard water.

What Maintenance Is Required for a Tankless Water Heater?
To keep your tankless water heater functioning efficiently, regular maintenance is essential. One of the most important tasks is descaling the unit, especially in areas with hard water. Mineral buildup can clog the system, reducing its efficiency and lifespan. It’s recommended to descale the heater annually or every two years, depending on water quality. Additionally, you should check the air filter and clean it regularly to ensure proper airflow. Inspecting the venting system for blockages is also necessary to prevent safety hazards, particularly for gas-powered models. Having a professional conduct an annual inspection ensures your system operates smoothly and continues to provide reliable hot water.
