It’s that time of year again. The weather is warming up, and you’re ready to tackle your spring cleaning. While sprucing up your home this year, don’t forget about your water heater. This appliance works hard all year, so it can greatly benefit from our annual maintenance service.
Address Problems Early
Winter’s freezing temperatures put additional strain on your water heater. The biggest challenge it faces is trying to heat that extremely cold water entering the tank. It has to work extra hard to bring the water up to your desired temperature, which leads to wear and tear.
It’s not unusual for damage and other issues to occur during the winter season. By scheduling our water heater maintenance in the spring, we can locate any potential problems and repair them now before you experience any inconveniences.
Avoid Costly Repairs
Catching any issues early on will save you money. Those problems won’t go away on their own. Instead, they’ll continue to grow, eventually causing your water heater to malfunction or break down. This leads to more expensive repairs or a possible replacement.
Our annual maintenance service includes several important tasks. We check for leaks, inspect and possibly replace the anode rod, and flush the tank to get rid of any sediment that built up over the past winter. Sediment creates a layer of insulation between the water and the heat source. As a result, your water heater has to work harder.
Maintain the Warranty
If you’re like most homeowners, you don’t realize that many manufacturers won’t honor the warranty if you don’t schedule annual maintenance. In most cases, you need to provide proof of these yearly tune-ups, or you won’t be able to take advantage of this feature when something does go wrong.
Extend Your Water Heater’s Lifespan
Annual water heater maintenance can help extend the lifespan of this important home appliance. Adding a tune-up to your spring cleaning checklist is a great way to keep from forgetting to schedule one every year. In addition to servicing your water heater, we can provide you with advice for the coming months. For example, if your water heater includes a vacation mode, we can show you how to use this feature to save money during your summer trip.
Skipping annual water heater maintenance can lead to major problems and increase your energy costs this coming summer. Our team will ensure that all aspects of your water heater maintenance are taken care of, and we’ll do a thorough inspection to spot any hidden issues. You’ll be able to rest assured this spring that you can count on your water heater now and throughout the coming summer season.
