Why Regular Water Heater Maintenance Matters
Water heaters work hard year-round, but winter brings extra demands. Cold weather makes heating more challenging, and neglecting maintenance can lead to unexpected breakdowns just when you need hot water the most.
Regular servicing of your hot water heater not only prolongs the life of your heater but also improves efficiency, saving you on energy costs. With rising energy costs, the savings in energy usage can offset the costs of servicing.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Service
If you are not on a maintenance plan, that doesn’t necessarily mean that your water heater is going to fail. There are signs though that it may need servicing to prevent major damage to the appliance.
City water outages and other disruptions to water service can sometimes occur and can add sediment not normally found in the water to enter your unit. Other factors like the amount of usage, where the heater is located, and other factors can also create a need for a plumber to come inspect and service your unit.
Common Signs That You Need Water Heater Repairs
- Fluctuating water temperatures
- Low hot water supply
- Strange noises or leaks
