5 Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Water Heater Working

July 26, 2022 by Social Sphere Media

There’s nothing like a hot shower after a long and tiring day. But you can’t really enjoy hot showers if you neglect to take care of your water heater. While water heaters do last a long time, it is still essential to properly maintain them so they can operate efficiently and not break down.

1. Give Your Water Heater Enough Space

The most common mistake we make is placing water heaters too close to walls, which causes the heater to overheat. That not only affects efficiency but also puts it at a higher risk of getting a leak. When buying a water heater, check if it has a Non-Combustible Enclosure rating. If it does, count yourself lucky because you don’t have to worry about minimal space.

Don’t forget that a water heater has an average lifespan of 10 years if maintained well. To help it last longer and operate more efficiently, give it the space it needs.

2. Drain Your Water Heater

Empty your water heater regularly to maintain its efficiency.

Every three years, you should drain it to maintain its efficiency. Just open the drain valve, and drain the water into a non-pressurized drain. To make this process easier and faster, you can use a lot of water bottles.

An inefficient water heater can cost you a lot of money on gas and electricity bills. So, it’s best to drain it regularly to maintain its efficiency.

3. Use a Reliable Water Heater Repair and Maintenance Company

To maintain your water heater, you should use the services of a professional water heater repair and maintenance company. A reputable water heater repair and maintenance company like Paul’s Heating & Air can provide you with advice on the best way to maintain your water heater. We can also help you eliminate leaks and even replace your water heater if it breaks.

4. Check the Drain Valve

It’s important to regularly check the drain valve of your water heater. The valve should have a special wrench installed to make it easier to open. You should clean the valve once in a while to prevent dirt and sediment from clogging it.

A closed drain valve can prevent water from flowing out of the water heater. That causes the water to heat up even more, which could increase the risk of a leak.

5. Switch the Pipes

If your water heater is getting old, you should consider switching the pipes.

If wire insulation is breaking down, it could cause a fire. You also wouldn’t want to spend a lot of money repairing a water heater that has exceeded its lifespan. If your water heater is getting old, you should consider switching the pipes.

Final Thoughts

Once you’ve done these five simple steps, you’ll be able to enjoy hot showers on a regular and long term basis. A well-maintained water heater can help you save a lot of money on energy bills.

My experience with Paul's Heating & Air for the past year has been excellent. They are text book when it comes to customer service. They are professionals through & through. Their technicians are highly knowledgeable & skilled & incredibly thorough. They're fastidious in making sure they do it right the first time and making it right if they're not perfect which is rare for them not to be perfect. They take pride in their work. They want to do a great job and that positive, constructive, productive attitude shows. We recently had to replace an aging AC/Furnace unit (17 years old) and the installation of the new Carrier Performance Series was flawless and efficient. The technicians were focused & diligent making sure to dot every technical "i" and cross every technical "t." Also, even though Carrier can be a bit more expensive than some of the budget brands such as Goodman, Carrier and Paul's Heating & Air stand behind their product and their service. It's all about the installation & maintenance, so, with Paul's Heating & Air you not only get an excellent product in Carrier but you also get consummate professionals who know how to install the equipment properly & maintain it properly so you can get the most out of it for many, many years. If it isn't already obvious, I can't recommend Paul's Heating & Air enough. It's money well-spent — a great value for your hard-earned dollar.
