Need Heating or Cooling Help? Let’s Get You Comfortable Again.

Why Flushing Matters for Tankless Water Heaters

Unlike traditional tank units, tankless water heaters have narrow passageways that heat water on demand. Over time, minerals like calcium and lime from hard water build up inside the heat exchanger. That buildup restricts water flow, forces your system to work harder, and can even cause early failure.

That’s why regular flushing and descaling are so important. It helps:

Restore full flow and heating efficiency
Prevent overheating and damage to the heat exchanger
Avoid costly repairs
Extend the unit’s lifespan — often to 20+ years
Keep your warranty valid (most brands require it)

Keep your tankless water heater running like new with regular flushing and descaling. Schedule your tankless water heater flush service in Livonia, MI, today to prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your system!

How a Tankless Water Heater Flush Protects Your System

Just because it’s tankless doesn’t mean it’s maintenance-free. Minerals in Michigan’s hard water settle inside your water heater over time, restricting flow, overheating components, and reducing system lifespan. A professional flush clears out buildup and restores peak performance.

Here’s how our tankless water heater flushing service in Livonia, MI helps keep your system running like new.

Improved Efficiency – Clean heat exchangers work faster and use less energy
Longer Equipment Life – Prevents corrosion and early part failure
Cleaner Water Output – Eliminates foul smells and discoloration from buildup

Fewer Repairs Needed – Avoids overheating and clogs that cause breakdowns

Signs Your Tankless Water Heater Needs a Flush

Your tankless water heater works tirelessly to provide hot water on demand, but over time, mineral buildup from hard water can hinder its efficiency. Regular flushing helps maintain optimal performance and prevent costly repairs. If you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to call for a tankless water heater flush service:

Reduced hot water pressure
Fluctuating water temperature
Gurgling or popping noises
Error codes on your display
Slower time to get hot water
It’s been more than 12 months since the last service

Hard water is common in Livonia and Southeast Michigan, which makes flushing even more important.

How Often Should You Flush a Tankless Water Heater?

We recommend flushing your unit once every 12 months, or every 6 months if you have especially hard water or high usage. Annual flushing is typically required by manufacturers like Navien, Noritz, Rinnai, and Bosch to maintain warranty coverage.

What If You’ve Never Had It Flushed?

If your tankless system is 2+ years old and has never been flushed, don’t worry — we’ll check the level of buildup and let you know what we find. In most cases, we can still descale and restore full function.

If there’s severe scale or corrosion, we’ll give you options before doing anything

Our Tankless Flushing and Descaling Service

We take pride in doing the job right, with no corners cut. Every tankless water heater flush service includes top-grade equipment like a high-powered pump for flushing tankless water heater systems.

Here’s how we handle a full flush:

Circulate food-safe descaling solution through the unit to dissolve mineral deposits.
Flush with clean water to remove any remaining residue, leaving your system clear.

Robert (Bobby) Wilhelm, of Comfort Craftsman HVAC, Livonia, Michigan, put a huge smile on my face this week, just in time for the 4th of July. I had purchased two heat pumps of different brands almost a year ago, one of which was successfully installed, while the other unit was deemed to be faulty and returned to the vendor (Menards), which did a good job of providing a replacement by arrangement with the product distributor. (Though this was not as easy as it sounds, as it took several months to locate and contact the distributor, only to find out that they did not provide any product servicing in Michigan or any neighboring state). However, the new unit then sat in my garage for three or so months (while we swelted in the recent 90+ heat!), as the original installer played hide-and-seek with me and every other HVAC company that I called on said they only installed their own units, not to mention that no-one was anxious to pick up on a job that another party had started. Eventually, someone from my regular HVAC company (A. J. Danboise) recommended Robert, who kindly agreed to make an exception in my case. Robert did an excellent job of installing the new unit, finally bringing to an end a frustrating drama that had lasted literally a whole year!

Bobby Wilhelm is an AMAZABLE human being! Bobby IS THE Comfort Craftsman! I spoke with by phone and met with in person about five HVAC professionals. I chose Bobby, because of his exemplary combination of knowledge, communication skills, competency and kindness. He really cares about his craft. He exudes integrity and intelligences. I trust him. He often conducted work while no one was home, and we felt completely comfortable. The heating and cooling works perfectly. And the job was huge. He literally built our entire duct system in the attic and installed a brand new system of forced air heating and cooling, furnace and air conditioning. He has social and emotional intelligences most of us can only dream of. Emotionally and socially poised and skilled. A bit of an artist. And certainly an indoor climate control true scientist. Did I mention that he is excellent with communication? To me that is so important. We are truly grateful and highly recommend him!

Great communication, on-time, great work and very nice

Tankless Water Heater Flushing FAQs

Can I flush my tankless water heater myself?

You can — if you have the proper pump kit and know what you’re doing. But most homeowners prefer to leave it to a pro.

What happens if I never flush it?

Scale will keep building up, reducing efficiency and eventually damaging the unit. You might lose pressure, get error codes, or shorten its life by years.

Does flushing include filter cleaning?

Yes — we clean the water inlet filter and inspect for buildup during every flush.

How do I know when it’s due?

If it’s been over a year — or you’re seeing pressure or temperature issues — it’s time.
