Importance Of Water Heater Maintenance San Diego North County


Water heaters are very sturdy systems, built to last for many years while being put under tremendous wear and tear. However, they will not last nearly as long if they are not properly maintained. Preventive maintenance is a good idea for pretty much any system in your home, but it’s especially vital for your water heater.



Preventive Methods

A lot of common water heater problems don’t give off any sort of recognizable symptom until they’re very far along. What this means for you is that you probably won’t be able to catch any warning signs until your water heater is already damaged. If you want to keep your water heater in the best possible shape, you’re going to need to do it before the symptoms present themselves. You should schedule preventive maintenance services at least once a year, so that your technicians have the opportunity to find and fix problems.
There are three MAJOR benefits to getting annual water heater maintenance. We broke it down simply for you:
  1. Increase Efficiency & Saves You Money
Sediment buildup is very common in water heaters, and can be a major contributor to making your system less efficient. If you’ve ever heard banging or knocking noises coming from your water heater, this is likely a sign that you need to have your water heater flushed. The sediment is caused from loose minerals in the water, which then settles on the bottom making it more difficult to produce hot water. We suggest that you flush your water heater at least once a year or every 6 months. Once you’ve done this, you will likely save money on your next utility bill and get hot water quicker!
  1. Decrease The Likelihood Of Costly Breakdowns
Studies show that homeowners have a plumber in their home once every three years. If you have yearly water heater maintenance, our technician will catch water heater leaks, corrosion, or anything that is prohibiting your system to work at 100%. As an added value, when you hire us you’re also entitled to a FREE whole-house plumbing inspection.
  1. No Surprises
Nobody enjoys a cold shower or coming home to a flood in their basement from their broken water heater. Having regular water heater maintenance will help you avoid those awful surprises.

Water Heater Maintenance

Your water heater is considered a luxury, and when it stops working that’s when you give us a call to install or repair your water heater.
