Getting the Most from Your Water Heater

You won’t find a house today without a water heater. Having hot water is necessary for your home in both comfort and practicality. Without your water heater operating at full capacity, your washing machine, dishwasher, and even your showers will suffer. Proper maintenance of your water heater will make them last for years to come!

Flushing your water heater - Flushing your water heater at least once a year will keep your system running efficiently. Energy efficiency is a top concern of most homeowners in 2024. With rising energy costs, having your equipment run longer for less is a big advantage. By flushing your water heater you are removing sediment and exposing the heating element to the new water coming in - helping it heat in less time.

Maintaining Heating Elements - Older homes may have older water heaters. The primary heating elements may have seen some serious sediment buildup over the years. Check your heating elements regularly to make sure they are doing their job. While heating elements can be replaced, if they’re too far gone you may need to replace the entire water heater. Getting to these parts quickly can help you avoid a big bill!
