Have Questions? We’ve Got Answers

What are the signs my water heater needs repair?
Look for warning signs like inconsistent hot water, strange noises, leaks, rust-colored water, or a noticeable spike in energy bills.
A well-maintained water heater usually lasts 8 to 12 years. Tankless models may last up to 20 years with proper care.
If your unit is over 10 years old and requires frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. We can help you evaluate your options.
We recommend professional maintenance once per year. Annual checkups help prevent breakdowns, maintain efficiency, and extend the life of your system.
Some basic tasks, like clearing the area and adjusting the thermostat, can be done safely at home. For flushing the tank or inspecting components, professional service is strongly recommended.
Set your water heater to 120°F for a balance of safety, comfort, and energy savings.

Follow these water heater maintenance tips to help extend your tank’s life expectancy, lower energy bills, and minimize damage from leaks.

Keep the Area Around Your Water Heater Clear

Ensure that the space around your water heater is open and easy to access. Gas-powered heaters need proper ventilation to operate safely. Keeping the area clear also allows you to spot signs of leaks or corrosion early.

Lower the Temperature Setting

To effectively inhibit bacteria growth, set your water heater to a minimum of 120°F. Ideally, for optimal sanitation and to actively kill bacteria, you should set the temperature between 130-140°F. In this case, a mixing valve is essential to reduce the water temperature back to 120°F at your fixtures.

Flush the Tank

Over time, minerals and sediment from your water supply settle at the bottom of your tank or cling to the components of your tankless system. This buildup can cause a host of problems like reduced efficiency and even complete system failure. Regular flushes keep your water heater running efficiently, saving you money on energy bills and extending the life of your unit. They also help maintain consistent water temperature and pressure, giving you a more comfortable and reliable hot water supply.

Schedule an Annual Inspection

An annual inspection allows our technicians to clean and assess your water heater. We can detect issues early and make small repairs before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems. Routine maintenance also improves system efficiency and extends its service life.
