Most tankless water heaters are sealed units. If you remove the cover, you may void the warranty.
Do the inspection of the tankless as you would a standard water heater. Do check the exhaust flue and make sure that there is additional clearance around it. The required clearance information can be found in the manufacturer's installation guide. |

And for gas powered tankless water heaters, ensure that proper make-up air is present....these things can consume more air that some furnaces.
