FAQs

How can I make my water heater last longer?

Follow these tips to make your water heater last longer:

  • Schedule annual inspections, flush the tank to remove sediment, and inspect for leaks or rust.
  • Reduce the default setting to 120°F (49°C) to prevent overheating and unnecessary wear on parts.
  • Use an insulating blanket to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
  • Test the pressure relief valve to ensure it’s working correctly and discharging water properly.
  • Check the anode rod and replace it if it’s severely corroded.
  • Fixing minor problems early helps prevent major damage later.

What’s the number one mistake homeowners make with water heaters?

The biggest mistake homeowners make with water heaters is neglecting regular maintenance. Failure to flush the tank annually leads to sediment buildup, reducing efficiency and damaging the heater. Ignoring signs of leaks, corrosion, or faulty valves can result in major damage or even premature failure. By prioritizing maintenance and promptly addressing issues, homeowners can prevent costly repairs or early replacement of their water heaters.

What are the signs a water heater requires repairs?

Several signs indicate that a water heater requires repairs:

  • Inadequate hot water
  • Strange noises
  • Discolored water
  • Leaks
  • Fluctuating water temperatures
  • Foul odors
  • Higher utility bills

Sudden increases in energy usage may indicate an inefficient water heater. If you notice any of these signs, it’s wise to call a professional to assess and repair your water heater promptly, preventing further damage and ensuring it functions properly.
