Water Heater Maintenance

Water Heater being worked on.

Keeping your water heater in top condition is essential for ensuring a consistent supply of hot water and maintaining the energy efficiency of your home. At Pypes Plumbing, we offer comprehensive maintenance services tailored to both traditional tank-style heaters and modern tankless models. With professional attention, your water heater will deliver dependable hot water exactly when you need it.

Our Water Heater Services:

  • Tank Flushing: Over time, sediment can accumulate at the bottom of conventional tank-style water heaters, including power vent water heaters. This buildup can reduce heating efficiency and eventually decrease the unit's lifespan. Our tank flushing service effectively removes sediment, helping to maintain performance and extend the life of your heater.

  • Tankless Descaling: Mineral deposits can affect the efficiency of tankless water heaters. Our descaling process cleans out these deposits, ensuring your unit functions at its best and prolongs its operational life.

  • Inspection and Tune-Ups: Regular inspections and tune-ups by our skilled technicians ensure all components of your water heater are in proper working order. This proactive maintenance can preempt potential issues, keeping your water heater running smoothly and efficiently.

  • It's recommended to flush your conventional water heater at least once a year. Regular flushing helps remove sediment buildup, improving efficiency and prolonging the system’s lifespan.

  • While some descaling can be done with DIY kits, it's best to have a professional technician handle it. Professional descaling ensures thorough cleaning of mineral deposits and safeguards your unit against potential damage.

  • Common signs include inconsistent water temperatures, unusual noises from the tank, longer waiting times for hot water, or discolored water. Regular inspections can preempt these issues and maintain optimal performance.

Regular maintenance of your water heater is not merely about prolonging the life of the equipment; it also significantly lowers your energy bills by enhancing efficiency.
