WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE TO SAY
about our plumbing and HVAC work.
How to prevent
Water Heater Issues
The best way to prevent water heater issues is to have yours inspected regularly. As a member of the Master Club, you get two inspections per year, as well as discounted rates and priority service.
Draining your hot water heater
Sediment that collects in the bottom of your hot water heater tank can cause all kinds of issues. Draining it periodically helps to prevent these issues from making regular maintenance a plumbing emergency. We take care of this during our biannual inspection.
Check your energy source
Whether your water heater is powered by electricity or gas, it’s critical to check the functionality regularly and repair any issues. This prevents harmful gas leaks and lengthens the life of your hot water heater. We will also check this out on every inspection.
Water Heater FAQs
How to install a water heater.
Proper installation of a water heater isn’t as simple as hooking up a few hoses. Without the correct fittings and knowledge, your water heater can end up costing you much more than its purchase price. Hire a trained plumbing professional can help you ensure you have chosen the best water heater for your application and ensure it is hooked up properly.
What happens if I don’t drain my hot water heater?
Sediment in your hot water heater can cause your tank to overheat. It can also clog the drain valve or circulation lines, potentially burning out the recirculation pump. All of this can increase your power bill.
How do I know if I need a new hot water heater?
Our experienced technicians will help determine if you need a water heater replacement. If you aren’t getting a reliable supply of hot water or the temperature fluctuates regularly, your water quality may be low. We’ll look for signs of rust or debris in the water. It is essential to replace your water heater before it gets to a place where it bursts and causes flooding issues.
What can go wrong with my natural gas hot water heater?
Soot buildup in the flue can cause harmful carbon monoxide gas to leak into your home. We recommend regular maintenance to ensure you avoid soot build up—and to ensure your pilot light remains blue with a yellow tip.
What can go wrong with my electric water heater?
Hardened calcium carbonate can build up in the sacrificial anode rod. This reduces protection to the inside of the water heater.
