Common Placitas water heater problems

Hard-water sediment in tank units

Placitas tap water carries the same heavy calcium and magnesium load as the rest of the metro. Sediment piles up at the bottom of the tank, the burner cooks through it, and the tank gives up early. A flush every 12 months stops the spiral.

Tankless scale at altitude

Tankless heat exchangers in Placitas clog roughly twice as fast as in soft-water markets. Every Rinnai, Navien, and Noritz unit we service in this area gets a vinegar descale every 6 to 12 months.

Pilot ignition issues

Thinner air at this elevation changes how a burner pulls oxygen. A mis-tuned gas valve or a dirty thermocouple is the most common cause of pilot drop-out on Placitas gas units.
