We Offer Regular Maintenance Services for Tankless Water Heaters in Boerne

Gottfried Plumbing handles preventive maintenance for tankless water heaters, covering the core service tasks that keep your unit running and your warranty intact.

Descaling and System Flush

A professional descaling flush removes calcium deposits from inside the heat exchanger before they start causing overheating shutdowns. In Boerne’s hard-water conditions, this is the most important maintenance a tankless unit requires. Professional descaling involves circulating a descaling agent through the exchanger long enough to fully clear limestone buildup.

Inlet Filter Cleaning

Your unit’s inlet screens catch mineral debris and sediment before it reaches the heat exchanger. Cleaning them at each service visit keeps flow rates at the level your unit needs to fire and produce consistent hot water.

Preventive Inspection

A scheduled inspection of the burner assembly, flame sensor, connections, and venting catches small issues before they become full failures. Addressing a minor fault during a maintenance visit costs far less than an emergency call when the unit stops working.

Water Softener Performance Check

If your home has a water softener, a maintenance visit is a good time to confirm it’s working correctly. A softener that’s underperforming or salt-mushing still allows minerals into your lines and gives false confidence about your unit’s condition.

Why Do You Need to Routinely Inspect Your Local Tankless Water Heater?

Boerne’s hard water and the Texas Hill Country environment create conditions that cause tankless units to degrade fast, making regular inspection important for efficiency, reliability, and warranty coverage. These are the local problems that make maintenance non-negotiable.

Hard Water Scale: Boerne’s water, at 15 to 20 grains per gallon, deposits calcium carbonate in the heat exchanger year-round. Without regular descaling, output drops and overheating shutdowns follow.
Warranty Void Risk: Most manufacturers require documented records of professional plumbing service to honor heat exchanger warranty claims.
Hill Country Dust and Insects: Outdoor-mounted units collect dust, pollen, and insects in the air intake and burner area. Left unaddressed, these cause combustion problems and unusual noises in the system.
Condensate Component Wear: Condensing units produce acidic drainage that passes through a neutralizer component. That part needs to be serviced periodically, or condensate will back up and trigger shutdowns.
Sensor Wear from Mineral Exposure: Flow sensors and thermistors exposed to Boerne’s hard water degrade fast. Catching wear during a scheduled visit prevents a no-hot-water failure.

Stay ahead of these problems. Call (830) 331-2055 to book an inspection.

How Often Should You Inspect Your Tankless Unit?

Homes without a water softener should have their tankless system inspected every 6 months. Homes with a functioning softener may go 12 months between visits.

If you have a high-efficiency filtration system alongside a softener, an 18-month interval may be workable. Still, an annual check is the safer call. The maintenance interval is less about the unit and more about what the local water does to it over time.

We can assess your water conditions and your unit’s state in one visit and give you a clear recommendation.

What Happens When You Regularly Maintain Your Tankless Water Heater?

Routine maintenance pays off in lower bills, fewer breakdowns, and a longer unit life.

Your Unit Runs at a Higher Level

Scale forces your unit to work harder to heat the same amount of water. Removing that restriction through regular descaling keeps it near its rated output. A well-maintained unit can perform up to 15% better than a neglected one.

Your Warranty Stays Valid

Most manufacturers require documented professional service to honor heat exchanger warranty claims. A service record from a professional plumber provides the paper trail you need if something fails before the unit’s expected lifespan.

Your Unit Lasts Longer

A tankless system is built to last 20 years or more under the right conditions. A maintenance schedule is the most direct way to get the full life out of the unit.

You Avoid Emergency Calls

Most tankless failures don’t happen without warning. Thorough inspections catch small faults before they turn into cold-water emergencies requiring after-hours repairs.
