Things To Know About Hot Water Heaters

Ask your favorite local plumber about your water heater, and we'll give you the answers you need.

1- What causes a water heater to release rusty water?

The most common cause of rusty water is aged plumbing and pipes that must be replaced. However, some other reasons can be pipe or tank corrosion, bacterial growth, or mineral deposits in the water that have built up. Contact us for an assessment, and we'll help you get the best long-term solution.

2- Will maintenance save me money?

Maintenance is always a money-saving technique. Routine preventive maintenance is a more cost-effective alternative to waiting for emergency repairs! Plus, you won't have to worry about your water heater quitting and leaving you without hot water.

3- Why should I have my water heater serviced?

The best reason to have your water heater serviced is to prevent developing issues or correct problems that exist that you may not even know about. Service helps your water heater function better and consistently, providing quality service and lowering energy bills.

4- If so, how often should I have it serviced?

A good rule of thumb is to service your water heater at least once a year. For older models, twice a year is better. Even newer water heaters require checkups, and your warranty may require professional routine maintenance to uphold the coverage.
