Professional Water Heater Tune-Ups
While the best time to schedule a tune-up every year is fall, it’s better late than never. Even if it’s midsummer, we can perform a professional maintenance job that helps save you money.
Many aspects of water heater maintenance are the same regardless of your brand, model, and configuration. We’ll perform a multi-point inspection specific to your equipment. As we inspect the equipment, we’ll thoroughly clean the various components. Our plumber will correct normal wear and tear and recommend proactive replacements as needed. It’s better to replace a worn valve now, for instance, than wait for it to fail. We’ll replace worn insulation and test the thermostat and calibrate it if necessary. Our team will also meet all the maintenance requirements of your warranty.
Other aspects of a tune-up will depend on the water heater type. Traditional tank water heaters, for example, require flushing. That removes all the sediment that can undermine efficiency and eventually compromise the tank and other components. We’ll also check the sacrificial anode rod and replace it if there’s corrosion.
For tankless water heaters, we recommend descaling. Over time, limescale can build up in valves, tubing, pipes, and other components. Descaling involves the use of a recirculating pump to cycle a water and white vinegar solution through the system. It usually takes about 45 minutes to remove all the scale and other debris. Our plumber will check the water and air filters and repair them if necessary. We’ll also recalibrate the system to ensure proper water pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to some common questions about our water heater repair and maintenance services. If you have additional questions, we’ll be happy to answer them when you call or message us online.
How Often Should Water Heater Maintenance Be Scheduled?
We recommend scheduling water heater maintenance service at least once a year. The best time to schedule in our region is early in the fall, ahead of the colder weather. Maintenance for tank water heaters includes flushing the tank and replacing the anode rod if needed. Tune-ups for tankless systems, on the other hand, include descaling and filter replacement.
What Are The Signs My Water Heater Needs Maintenance?
High energy usage is often the first indication that you should schedule water heater repair or maintenance service. We recommend tracking your energy consumption month to month and year to year. A modern water heater should be quiet, so never ignore tea kettling or other unusual noises. Other warning signs include hot water quality changes, low hot water pressure, and reduced hot water volume.
