The Perks of Routine Water Heater Maintenance

What are the perks of having a water heater routinely maintained? Proper water heater maintenance is needed to preserve the value of the home. The following are the benefits customers receive from having regularly scheduled water heater maintenance.

Better Performance

If a water heater quickly runs out of hot water, this can be a sign of a problem. Routine maintenance and care can improve the amount of hot water that’s available. Often there is some dirt and sediment in the tank taking up space and reducing the appliance’s efficiency. The technician will drain the tank at the appointment, improving the system’s overall efficiency.

Improved Efficiency

Sediment can build up in the tank and lead to corrosion of the elements and or issues with the water heater burner. When this happens, it takes longer for the water to heat, meaning more energy is used. Routine maintenance appointments can improve a water heater’s performance, as the technician will check for all of these issues and make any needed repairs.

Lower Energy Bills

A water heater running efficiently uses less electricity or gas than a water heater that has not received an annual maintenance appointment. The technician will also check for and repair water leaks, saving a homeowner money on their water bill. Lower utility bills are a huge benefit of annual water heater maintenance.

Fewer Repair Calls

Having the water heater routinely maintenance can lower the need for emergency water heater repairs. The technician will inspect the appliance at the appointment and fix any issues they see. Often, the little issues lead to problems later on, so these routine appointments can mean fewer repair calls later on.

A Water Heater Will Last Longer with Routine Care

The traditional life expectancy of a water heater is anywhere from ten to fifteen years. Without routine maintenance and annual checkups, one can expect their water heater to fail sooner. Extend the life of a water heater by taking care of the appliance and scheduling annual maintenance.
