If you experience a problem with your Navien tankless water heater, the age of the system is one of the first places to start in determining what to do next. System age will help determine warranty coverages if any, options for upgrades, such as installing recirculating pumps (https://www.carinihome.com/plumbing-services-2/hot-water-recirculation-systems/) and the average amount of time you might expect for the remaining useful life of the system.
