Benefits of Water Heater Maintenance
You may not realize how important maintenance can be to the overall function of your water heater, but like most complex pieces of equipment in your home, it benefits greatly from annual service. Routine tune-ups can deliver:
- Improved efficiency: Sediment buildup in your water heater can substantially decrease its efficiency, as your system will be heating many denser particles that transmit heat poorly instead of just heating your water. With a water heater flush and other adjustments, a plumber can greatly improve the energy efficiency of your water heater.
- Longer life span: A water heater should last well over a decade, but it can fall apart surprisingly fast if problems are allowed to develop undetected. Every little problem puts more strain on the whole system, causing more problems to develop, a cycle that repeats until something fails. Maintenance appointments make it easy to catch and fix these problems before they worsen.
- Fewer emergency repairs: Routine maintenance gives us a chance to catch problems before you’re left with no hot water. Let us assess your system as we tune it, fixing anything that’s gone awry while we’re present and before it leads to a real — and expensive — failure.
- Safer operation: Your water heater can be dangerous to your health and safety if maintained improperly or if something goes wrong. Let us make sure everything is safe and effective.
What’s Included in Water Heater Maintenance?
When you hire a professional for water heater maintenance, you get a full step-by-step tune-up, cleaning, and assessment of your system. During a maintenance appointment, our plumbers can:
- Drain the tank and flush out sediment that impedes performance and efficiency.
- Replace a worn-out anode rod to keep corrosion out of your tank structure and out of your water.
- Inspect the tank for rust so we can act to resolve corrosive problems before they get serious.
- Test the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure safe water temperatures and safe release of excess pressure.
- Clean the air intake filters that allow your system to “breathe” for proper water flow.
- Check and adjust the electrical and gas connections to ensure safe operation and reliability.

FAQs
How often should I schedule water heater maintenance?
Schedule water heater maintenance at least once a year, with additional visits if something seems off and you want added peace of mind.
Do tankless water heaters need maintenance?
Tankless water heaters do need maintenance, especially if you have hard water that could cause a substantial loss of effectiveness and efficiency.
What temperature should I set my water heater to?
The standard recommendation is between 120 degrees to 140 degrees. Anything below 120 degrees leaves your water heater at risk of bacteria development.
