What Does Water Heater Maintenance Consist of?

At Mark Allen, we offer comprehensive water heater maintenance services for both tank and tankless water heaters. These services are designed to improve every aspect of how your water heater performs. Tasks may include:

Inspections: Your technician should start with a thorough inspection of your water heater to identify any issues or potential problems. Key elements of an inspection can be checking the pressure relief valve, thermostat settings and other components. Some simpler problems are fixed with basic maintenance tasks like recalibrating the thermostat, which may be necessary if the water isn’t being heated properly.

Cleaning and Draining/Flushing: Over time, sediment and minerals will clog the water heater and reduce its efficiency. Draining the water heater makes it easier to remove any sediment buildup while also making it possible to clean the burner assembly or heating element.

Quick/Minor Repairs: If we identify any issues during the inspection, it’s the perfect opportunity to go ahead and complete the needed repairs. Understandably, taking care of water heater repair now is usually more affordable compared to a full repair appointment.

Replacement Parts: When a faulty part needs to be replaced, we have access to superior replacement parts to ensure your water heater enjoys the same standards of quality. For example, the anode rod should be replaced every few years since it’s designed to collect minerals including magnesium, iron, limestone and more.
