Make Sure the Hot Water Keeps Flowing 

Hot water is often taken for granted, especially when it comes time to shower. However, there is one time when hot water is heavily appreciated, and it’s when the home loses it, causing icy water to come from the showerhead. Instead of taking chances with the hot water, take action by getting water heater maintenance. This post will share the benefits of maintaining a water heater, what it entails, and signs the water heater may need maintenance or repair

Advantages of Routine Water Heater Maintenance 

save money There are plenty of reasons that water heater maintenance is a good idea. Homeowners who track their utility bills know that water heaters gobble up huge amounts of energy. When the unit ages, this only gets worse, especially if maintenance has been neglected. Scheduling water heater maintenance each year helps the heater work more efficiently and lowers utility bills. 

In addition to using vast amounts of energy, unmaintained water heaters are more likely to suffer from problems that cause unexpected repair costs. Another reason water heater maintenance is cost-efficient is that it drastically reduces the likelihood of issues that will leave the family without hot water and with repair bills. By investing a little money in annual water heater maintenance, homeowners can lower their monthly water heating bills, and repair bills, and help their water heater last longer before needing replacement. 

Things Done During a Maintenance Visit

  • Draining and flushing the water heater to remove sediment
  • Checking the anode rod for corrosion and replacing it when needed
  • Verifying the correct operation of safety devices
  • Inspecting for leaks and signs of corrosion
  • Cleaning the burner or heating elements

This service is recommended to be done at least once per year to get the benefits and prevent problems with a water heater. 

Signs the Water Heater Needs Attention 

Another important aspect of caring for a water heater is identifying signs that it needs service from a plumber, whether it be repair, maintenance, or replacement. Homeowners should be on the lookout for signs like: 

  • Leaks or standing water in the drain pan
  • Hissing, popping, rumbling, or thumping noises
  • Slow recovery of hot water or a total loss of hot water 
  • Higher utility bills
  • Water is discolored or rusty-looking

If signs of water heater problems are noticed, call a professional quickly to ensure that hot water keeps flowing and to care for the water heater.
