Water Heater Maintenance & Repair
Why Should I Have My Water Heater, Serviced, Drained and Flushed Annually?
Manufacturers recommend you flush and service you water heater annually. The reason why comes back to what a water heater flush is for, flushing out minerals and sediment build-up. Deposits accumulate at the bottom of the tank and become a layer of insulation between the water and the heat source at the bottom of the tank. When a water heater is not flushed regularly you may start to run out of hot water sooner than expected. It can also lead to other problems like increased tank pressure that can lead to water heater damage. An annual service is a bargain compared to the cost of a new water heater.
Our factory trained technicians can provide you with a complete service and flush to help maintain your water heaters performance, save energy and add years to it’s life by keeping it running efficiently.
Benefits of Flushing out Your Water Heater Annually:
Reduce Noise: When a water heater starts making popping and banging noises, it usually starts with scale buildup. As soon as your water heater becomes noisy is a good time to flush out your water heater.
Improve Speed to Heat Water: The more sediment that has settled on the bottom of the water heater tank, the more difficult the heating process becomes. Many times you can get your water heater back to normal with a water heater flush.
Save on Operating Costs: The harder it is to transfer heat to water the more energy and time it’s going to take to heat your water. This means higher utility bills to heat your water over time. You may spend more on repairs as sediments accumulates. Flushing your water heater tank can help cut costs over time.
Extend Equipment Life: Sediment buildup contribute to early water heater failure. Scale buildup turns into insulation between the heat source and water, this means the metal in the bottom of the tank gets hotter than it should, and eventually it will become so stressed that the tank will fail and leak.
