It’s unquestionable that most families consume more hot water in winter. Hence, there is a need to ensure that the water heater unit is well maintained for the freezing season ahead. Mr. Rooter Plumbing provides the advantages of conducting preventive water heater service and maintenance before the cold season starts.

  • Prolong Its Lifespan

Of course, it is quite understandable that you would want your hot water system to last longer. In this case too, regular maintenance will help by adding extra years to the life of the water heaters. This, along with descaling if necessary, makes it advisable to ensure that the hot water tanks are flushed out at least once every twelve months to minimize the possibility of sediments building up inside the tanks. Moreover, we advise paying close attention to the anode rod in order to mitigate tank corrosion. If you detect any complications, contact a qualified plumbing repair service to inspect your water heater and make any necessary replacements.

  • Improve Water Quality

If you want clear, clean, and safe hot water for household use, regular water heater maintenance is a must. If you fail to flush out your water heater, expect some sediments in your water or a strange taste. Again, the water may also taste metallic due to corrosion of the hot water tank. Make sure to drain the hot water reservoir on an annual basis and be on the lookout for any signs that the anode rod is almost worn out. If you need help, contact a trusted plumbing repair service.

  • Enhance Safety

Maximizing the care of your water heater eliminates problems like gas, carbon monoxide, and tank bursts. If at all, you have read somewhere about gas leak explosion incidents or hot water tanks bursting due to high pressure build up. Even with preventive measures in place, visual inspection should always be carried out and any loose fittings. In addition to that, it is also good for one to schedule a regular inspection by a professional plumber who will assess the water heater for any possible defects.

  • Ensure Energy Efficiency

Storage-type water heaters have an insulated tank system, whereas instant water heaters are made in a way that the water is heated only when it is being used to conserve energy. But you must do your part if you are to achieve much energy savings. You need to set the temperature between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, the right setting of the temperature of a water heater will minimize the risk of scalding. Finally, make sure that you have performed a flush of the water heater in order to make it last longer. If you are worried about cutting your heating bills by half, you then need to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater.

  • Maintain Warranty

This is one of the advantages of routine maintenance of water heaters, not well realized by the majority of the homeowners. Most of the manufacturers will request that you perform maintenance on your water heater so as to keep the warranty valid. In any case, in need of water heater repair within the warranty limits, you will have to show proof that you have duly executed and continually done all that it takes to maintain the unit in an operable manner.

If you’re looking for a licensed plumbing service providing professional water heater services, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing.
