Your
water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home. It provides hot water for bathing, cooking, and cleaning. If your water heater is not working properly, it can cause a lot of problems. That’s why it’s important to have a reliable water heater that you can count on.
If your water heater is over 10 years old, it may be time to start thinking about replacing it. Even if it’s not showing signs of wear and tear, an old water heater may not be as efficient as a new one, and it could pose a safety risk.
1. Check the temperature regularly. The ideal temperature for a water heater is between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. You can adjust the temperature by turning the thermostat knob on the side of the unit.
2. Drain the tank once a year. Draining the tank helps remove sediment that can build up over time and cause your water heater to work less efficiently. To drain the tank, turn off the power to the unit and connect a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Open the valve and let all of the water drain out into a bucket or other container.
3. Flush the tank with fresh water once a year. After you’ve drained the tank, flush it with fresh water to remove any remaining sediments. Simply fill up the tank with fresh water and then let it drain out through the hose again.
4. Inspect the anode rod annually. The anode rod helps protect your
water heater from corrosion by sacrificial means – in other words, it corrodes first so that your water heater doesn’t have to! inspect your anode rod annually
Many homeowners believe that they can save money by skipping maintenance on their home’s water heater. However, this is a false economy. Skipping maintenance can lead to far more expensive repairs down the line, or even the need to replace the water heater entirely.
A well-maintained water heater will last for many years, providing reliable hot water for your home. By contrast, a neglected water heater is much more likely to develop problems. These problems can include leaks, corrosion, and sediment build-up.
Sediment build-up is especially problematic, as it can cause the water heater to overheat and fail. This is a very costly repair, and in some cases may even require replacing the entire unit.
It is therefore much cheaper in the long run to maintain your water heater on a regular basis. This will ensure that it continues to work properly for many years to come.
Your water heater is one of the most important appliances in your home, and it’s important to keep it well-maintained. Here are some preventative maintenance tips to help you keep your water heater in top condition:
-Drain your water heater regularly. Draining your water heater helps to remove sediment that can build up over time and cause problems. You should drain your water heater at least once a year, but more often if you have hard water.
-Inspect your anode rod. The anode rod helps to protect your water heater from corrosion. Inspect it regularly for signs of wear and tear, and replace it as needed.
-Check the temperature and pressure relief valve. The temperature and pressure relief valve protects your water heater from overheating or exploding. Make sure the valve is working properly by testing it periodically.
-Flush your water heater periodically. Flushing your water heater helps to remove any sediment that has built up over time. This is especially important if you have hard water.
It’s never fun when your water heater breaks down, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency repair services. But sometimes, a broken water heater is beyond repair and must be replaced. So, how do you know when it’s time to replace your water heater?
1. Your water heater is more than 15 years old.
2. You notice a leak around your water heater.
3. Your hot water isn’t as hot as it used to be or doesn’t last as long.
4. Water starts to back up out of the drain valve.
5. There is excessive rust on the tank or sediment in the bottom of the tank.
