Tankless Water Heater Repair and Replacement of Aire Serv

As the name implies, these water heaters are indeed tankless. Because there’s no tank, these systems work off of demand. They heat up water as you need it, delivering hot water to a sink, tub, shower, or appliance quickly. Best of all, commercial tankless water heaters never run out of hot water. They’re also energy efficient, space-saving, and offer a longer product life than a standard hot water heater. Clearly, tankless water heaters offer many advantages over older models and designs.

If you’re considering investing in a commercial tankless water heater, you may be curious about ongoing servicing needs. Adding a water softener to your system can help reduce build-up from hard water. If you have especially hard water, you may see staining on sinks, showers, and tubs. Scale build-up and erosion may also occur.

Hard water can cause problems for storage tank systems because as hard water passes through, the acidity causes minerals in the water to drop to the bottom of the tank. This sediment impacts the efficiency of the heat transfer, leading to premature system failure. The same dynamic is in play with tankless units, but often at a much slower rate.

When build-up reaches a critical point, your tankless system may lock up. Attempting to reset them without properly addressing the issue will only result in them locking up more frequently. A flush kit may remove build-up, but if not used correctly, it will not resolve the issue in the long term.

While commercial tankless water heaters are fairly low maintenance, sediment buildup can cause problems. As sediment builds, the volume of hot water is reduced. This can cause problems for your employees, customers, or building tenants, as they’ll perpetually receive less hot water than they need. Issues like this highlight the importance of regular maintenance appointments. If your water heater develops a problem, an Aire Serv professional is only a call away.

The longer you go between maintenance appointments, the more inefficient your commercial tankless gas water heater can become. This will inevitably raise your energy or fuel bill. You can avoid such issues by scheduling a yearly maintenance appointment with your local Aire Serv team.

We can walk you through the various options and help you choose one that works best for you. While it’s possible to select and install your own tankless water heater system, it’s not recommended. If it’s not installed correctly, it could cost you more money in the long term. Trust your local Aire Serv service professionals to get the job done right the first time.
