Annual Water Heater Maintenance
Annual water heater maintenance on your home’s water heater is the best way to ensure it works optimally and efficiently. The best way to sleep soundly at night is knowing your appliances are safe and operating according to the manufacturer’s standards.
Water heaters should always be maintained regularly. Below are a few of the benefits of having your annual water heater maintenance done and also various problems that happen when regular, annual water heater inspections are not performed.
Prevent Tank Sediment Buildup
The best thing you can do is prevent tank sediment buildup. Over time hard water and minerals cause sediments to buildup in your water heater’s holding tank. In some cases excessive buildup can occur which in turn causes your water heater to work much harder than it should. This accumulation of sediment will eventually cause additional problems with heating and normal operating functions.
Always Clean Your Water Heater And Dryer Vents!
Preventing sediment from building up in the tank is as simple as regularly flushing your water heater. Need help draining and flushing your water heater?
I have a tankless water heater. What about tankless models? Tankless water heaters are no different. Regular flushes prevent hard water and mineralization from forming in and restricting flow in the water lines. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Flushing a water heater is easier than most people think.
Keep Venting Clear Of Obstructions
Be sure to keep venting clear of lint and other debris at all times. Water heater vents are similar to vents on dryers and become clogged. Obstructed water heater vents restrict air flow and can lead to a major fire hazard.
Home fire hazards are easily avoided. By having your water heaters inspected and maintained regularly, you have a better chance of avoiding home fire hazards.
Regularly Inspect Unit For Rusted Lines, Base And Pan
All types of water heaters will rust out over time, especially when they are not being maintained regularly. Tank water heaters need to be inspected annually for signs of water drips and leaks, Preventing rust and holes from forming in the base, the water lines and the water heater pan itself, is the only way your water heater will last. And yes, we have said it before but tankless water heaters are no exception.
Water damage is a serious health concern for many home and business owners. Water damage can be very costly, sometimes requiring mold remediation. Luckily however, water damage is mostly preventable. As with any major appliance, annual maintenance is the key!.

Beware Of Old And Outdated Water Heaters
Older and outdated water heaters should always be replaced when they’re no longer operating to capacity. We recently replaced a 30 year old water heater that had slowly, over time, caused significant water damage. We inspected their old water heater and found it to be the source of the problem.Once we replaced it with one of our new, high efficiency water heaters, their problem was solved. The water damage was cleaned up, repairs to the home were made and the homeowner’s new water heater is operating exactly as it should. Although the cost of repairing their water damage and replacing their old water heater was fairly expensive, it could have been much worse.
