- Inspect Vent System - Properly sized vents are vital for the safe and efficient operation of all natural gas tankless water heaters installed in a confined space. Blocked, damaged or improperly vented water heaters can cause damage to your property or yourself by causing a fire or even carbon monoxide poisoning with incorrect venting.
- Temperature Controller - Clean and inspect temperature controller • Inspect and Clean motors – Dust and debris will clog motors and cause failure.
- Flush tankless unit – The tankless water heater will develop a lime and scale build up inside the heat exchanger restricting flow of water through the tankless unit. (isolation valves are required)
- Test Emergency shutoff valve for water and gas - The valve for both water and fuel should be working so that if the heater is taken out of service, the other portions of the water or gas distribution systems are not disrupted. A water and fuel shutoff valve should be a full-port valve. Full-port valves are shutoff valves that in the full-open position have a straight-through flow passageway.
- Inspect Flame and burner assembly – Condensation or debris can cause flame failure or hazardous fires. Cleaning a gas water heater prolongs its service life, makes your water heater more energy efficient and use less gas.
- Test temperature & pressure valve - Combination temperature and pressure relief (T & P Relief or TPR) valves do two things: 1) they open and release water out of the tank if the temperature exceeds 210°F (just below the boiling point), and 2) they will open if the pressure in the tank exceeds 150 psi (the maximum normal operating pressure for a water heater.)If it won't let water through, won't stop running, or won't stop dripping within a few minutes, it should be replaced. Water heaters without this protection can produce explosions and have been responsible for many deaths.
- Test Freeze Protector – Loss of freeze protection may result in water damage from a burst heat exchanger or water line. (note tankless warranties do not cover damage due to freezing)
- Clean and Inspect In-Line screen Filter – Check for debris.
- Inspect Safety devices and test if applicable (Flood Stop, Recirculation pump, ect)
- Provide inspection report
