FAQs
How Do I Know If My Water Heater Needs Repairs?
If you notice inconsistent water temperatures, strange noises, rusty water, leaks, or a sudden increase in energy bills, your water heater may need repairs. Addressing these issues early can prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your unit. Professional inspection and timely repairs help maintain efficiency and performance.
How Often Should I Schedule Water Heater Maintenance?
Regular water heater maintenance is recommended at least once a year to ensure optimal performance and prevent unexpected failures. Maintenance includes flushing the tank, checking the anode rod, inspecting for leaks, and testing the thermostat. Routine service extends your unit’s lifespan and improves energy efficiency.
What Happens If I Don’t Maintain My Water Heater?
Neglecting water heater maintenance can lead to sediment buildup, reduced efficiency, higher energy bills, and premature system failure. Without regular inspections, small issues like leaks or faulty components can go unnoticed, leading to costly repairs or complete unit replacement. Routine care helps prevent major breakdowns and ensures reliable hot water.
Can I Repair My Water Heater Myself?
While minor troubleshooting like resetting the thermostat or flushing the tank can be done by homeowners, most water heater repairs should be handled by a professional. Gas leaks, electrical issues, and faulty heating elements require expert knowledge to ensure safety and proper function. DIY repairs may void warranties and lead to further damage.
What’s the Average Lifespan of a Water Heater?
A traditional tank water heater lasts around 8-12 years with proper maintenance, while tankless water heaters can last 20+ years. Regular maintenance, such as flushing to remove sediment and checking components, helps maximize lifespan. If your unit is over 10 years old and experiencing frequent issues, it may be time to consider a replacement.

The service technician came to do the fall/winter maintenance on my heat/AC unit. He was very thorough. Did a great job servicing, and cleaning the unit, and the air cleaner unit. Very courteous and friendly. Definitely a professional technician.
