Leave the Installation to the Professionals

A water heater installation in Concord, and especially a hot water heater tank installation, is a lot harder than an online tutorial might make it seem. If you are thinking about performing a DIY water heater installation, then think again. A small mistake in the installation could mean you lose out on enjoying your water heater on the first day – and you’ll have to call a technician anyway. A big mistake, meanwhile, could mean heading out to buy another water heater.

Plus, the installation can call for special equipment and tools. These will cost you time and money as you make trips to the hardware store. There is also the time cost of completing the installation. What’s your time worth? Call Rooter Hero Plumbing to get a free price estimate. It might be more affordable to leave the installation to the professionals.

Some Maintenance and Use Tips

If you have paid a couple thousand dollars for your new water heater, then surely you want it to last more than a few years. Fortunately, a properly installed and maintained water heater can last for over 10 years. So, how can you get the most out of your water heater? Here are a few tips.

• First and foremost, make sure the water heater is installed properly.
• Set the thermostat to 120 degrees. Anything more is likely too hot and can overwork and overheat the unit.
• Consider a water filtration system to prevent clogging.
• Drain the hot water tank once or twice a year to flush out debris and sediment buildup.
• Test the temperature and pressure relief valve and check on the anode rods.
• Insulate the water heater and pipes.

Of course, these are only a drop in the bucket. There is a lot that goes into water heater maintenance. If you want to have an experienced technician take care of the maintenance, then call Rooter Hero Plumbing and schedule an appointment.
