Some Maintenance Tips

They say prevention is worth more than cure. We want your hot water heater installation to give you its best service. For that, you must take great care of your water heater. Fortunately, modern water heaters are designed to require minimal maintenance, but the following maintenance tips can help give you the most of your water heater’s service life:

• Keep the thermostat’s temperature setting at or below 120 degrees Fahrenheit to avoid overheating the tank.
• Flush the water tank once or twice a year to clear out any sediments that can cause corrosion and buildup.
• Occasionally test the pressure-relief valve by lifting the valve’s handle and let it shut back. Water should burst into the overflow drainpipe. If it does not, then you might need a new valve.

Still, even with the best care in the world, the water heater is prone to accidental damage, external factors, and natural wear and tear. Don’t worry. Rooter Hero Plumbing is ready to help. Be sure to handle repairs as soon as possible so small issues do not spiral into big problems.

Time to Replace Your Unit?

A water heater repair can only help so much. Eventually, you will need a replacement, but how do you know it is time for a water heater replacement? To be honest with you it depends. There are some units that can last years longer than its expected service life while others may have to be replaced after only a few years of service. There are some signs though:

• Old Age: If your water heater has given you over ten to fifteen years of service, then it might be time to cut your losses, quit the constant repairs, and replace the unit.
• Loud Noises: If your water heater tank is making loud noises then you might have a severe sediment buildup in the tank which cannot be removed with a simple flush.
• Leaking Tank: Your water heater can leak for a range of reasons, but if the tank itself is leaking, then you may have no other choice than to replace it.
