So, what's involved in water heater maintenance? We're glad you asked. Here's what we do:
How often should I tune up my water heater?
Plumbline recommends scheduling a water heater tune-up annually as part of your routine plumbing maintenance to keep the unit running safely and efficiently.
What is included in a 12-point water heater tune-up?
The 12-point tune-up includes checking the safety relief valve, water shut-off valve, temperature range, drain valve, burner assembly (on gas units), gas/electrical supply, emergency gas shut-off, draft/ventilation, flue piping, carbon monoxide detector, and tank stability, plus flushing sediment from the tank.
How long does a water heater tune-up take?
A standard water heater tune-up typically takes one to two hours, depending on the unit's condition and whether significant sediment needs to be flushed from the tank.
Can a tune-up extend the life of my water heater?
Yes, annual tune-ups extend your water heater's life by flushing corrosive sediment buildup, checking for premature component wear, and ensuring the safety relief valve functions properly to prevent pressure-related failures.
