Water Heater Maintenance

• Tank storage water heaters need to be drained and flushed. This helps remove any excessive sediment buildup from inside the tank. The tank needs to be thoroughly checked for any rust or signs or signs of corrosion. The anode rod, TPR valve, and thermostat all should be checked. In addition, the heat source also needs to be inspected, if you have a gas water heater, make sure the pilot is strong. Also make sure the area around your water heater is free from debris and clutter.

• Tankless water heaters are often sold as low maintenance, but just because they are low maintenance does not mean they are zero maintenance. Tankless water heaters can still be susceptible to sediment buildup, which can make your water heater work harder which makes it less effective and efficient. Plus the extra work, can make your water heater more prone to breakdowns. Tankless water heaters should be flushed at regular intervals to prevent excessive buildup of minerals. How frequently this needs to be done will depend on how hard the water is where you live. The harder the water, the more frequent it needs to be done.
