Water Heater Maintenance

Proactive maintenance is the best way to extend the lifespan of your water heater and prevent costly breakdowns. That’s why our electric and gas water heater services include a thorough inspection of your unit, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, and flushing the tank to remove sediment buildup. For gas heaters, we also inspect the burner assembly and flue piping for enhanced safety.

How to Know When You Need a Gas or Electric Water Heater Service

Not sure if your water heater issue warrants a professional call? Take a look at the top warning signs of a broken water heater that needs a plumber’s touch:

• Lack of Hot Water: If your water isn’t heating up at all or isn’t getting as hot as it used to, there’s likely a problem with the heating element or thermostat.
• Fluctuating Water Temperatures: If your hot water supply is inconsistent, switching between hot and cold, it could indicate sediment buildup or a faulty heating component.
• Strange Noises: Rumbling, popping, or hissing sounds often point to sediment buildup at the bottom of your tank. This forces the heater to work harder and can lead to tank damage over time.
• Discolored or Smelly Water: Rusty or metallic-smelling water can be a sign of corrosion inside your tank. A “rotten egg” smell might indicate a bacterial infection.
• Visible Leaks or Moisture: Any water pooling around the base of your water heater is a huge red flag, as leaks can cause significant water damage and may indicate a serious failure within the unit.
• Old Age: If your water heater is over 10 years old, it’s a good idea to have it inspected annually. Proactive service can prevent unexpected breakdowns and help you plan for a replacement.

Determining whether you need a replacement or a simple repair can be challenging. Fortunately, there are a few things you can watch out for to help you make the right decision.

• You May Need a Water Heater Repair If…Your existing water heater is relatively new and experiencing minor issues, such as a malfunctioning thermostat or pilot light. Strange noises and occasional bursts of cold water can also often be resolved with targeted repairs.
• You May Need a New Water Heater Installation If…Your water heater is over 10-15 years old, has frequent breakdowns, or shows signs of significant wear, such as rust and leaks. Water heater replacements can offer improved efficiency and reliability.

Sometimes, the cost of repeated repairs can add up to the price of a new unit. Our residential plumbing experts can help you determine when it’s time to replace your water heater.
