Prevent Costly Repairs with Yearly Water Heater Maintenance

Water heaters are much like other various home appliances, annual maintenance for optimal efficiency and functionality is highly recommended. For water heaters, yearly maintenance involves flushing the water and sediment from the unit. The flushing process helps to prevent clogged water lines and the buildup of mineral deposits in the unit.

Water heaters aren’t cheap. With annual maintenance, the possibility of replacing your current water heater or needing expensive repairs greatly decreases. A water heater that hasn’t been flushed for years can contain several inches of sediment buildup.

Our team of plumbers performs effective annual water heater maintenance. This aspect of our water heater services helps your unit last longer and can save you money on energy costs by restoring the unit’s efficiency.

Types of Water Heaters We Service

Here are the types of water heaters Chapman services:

Traditional or Tanked

Tanked water heaters have been the traditional option for decades. A unit’s tank fills with cold water and is then heated by a gas burner beneath the tank or by electrical elements in the tank. When someone turns on a hot water tap in your home, hot water is removed from the tank, and new cold water is added to it and heated. Hot water is always there when you need it with this style of unit.

Electric Water Heaters

This style of water heater uses electrical elements to heat the water. The model will turn on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting and the electrical elements will turn on and start the heating process. With no need to connect to a gas line or exhaust, installation is quick, easy, and inexpensive.

Gas Water Heaters

Gas water heaters require a gas line and an exhaust system for operation. If your home has these available, a gas water heater may be a viable option for your home.

To provide hot water, a pilot light ignites a burner plate beneath the tank whenever the temperature of the water in the tank drops below the thermostat setting.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters use electricity as a means to heat the water provided. This style is installed along the cold water supply just before your fixtures. The cost of operation for a tankless unit is always cheaper because they only heat water when the hot water tap is turned on. Thus, only providing hot water when you need it.
