Professional Water Heater Maintenance

At Mark Allen, we make sure our technicians are trained on both tank and tankless water heaters. No matter which type you have, maintenance can improve every aspect of your water heater’s performance. Our maintenance checklist can include:

Inspections: Your technician should start with a thorough inspection of your water heater to identify any issues or potential problems. Some of the most important parts of an inspection are checking the pressure relief valve, thermostat settings and other components. Sometimes an issue can be resolved with simple tasks like recalibrating the thermostat, which may be necessary if the water isn’t being heated properly.

Cleaning and Draining/Flushing: A common reason for a loss in efficiency is the buildup of minerals and sediment inside your water heater. Flushing your water heater helps remove any sediment buildup while also making it possible to clean the burner assembly or heating element.

Quick/Minor Repairs: When damage or other issues are found in the course of our inspection, we can minimize the risk of further trouble by making any needed repairs right then and there. Understandably, completing water heater repair now usually costs less than a full repair appointment.

Replacement Parts: When a faulty part needs to be replaced, we only work with superior replacement parts to ensure your water heater continues to function properly. For instance, your water heater’s anode rod should be replaced every few years because it’s designed to attract mineral buildup like magnesium, iron, limestone and more.
