Water Heater Maintenance in Corvallis
Constant pressure and frequent use will cause various components in your water heater to deteriorate over time. Routine maintenance can prevent corrosion, sediment buildup, and component failure, which reduces the system’s energy efficiency. It’s best to have your water heater serviced annually to keep your system safe and reliable.
There are many advantages to having a routine maintenance service for your water heater, including:
- Less energy usage
- Lower utility bills
- Extend its service life
- Reduces need for repairs
- Reliable access to hot water
Traditional tank water heaters store and heat large volumes of water. Hard water can pose a serious problem if you live in an area with hard water issues. Hard water has a high mineral content. These minerals can cause sediment buildup that settles to the bottom of the tank. Sediment buildup is the most common cause of water heaters losing efficiency and breaking down. This problem happens because the sediment forms a barrier between the burner and the water. As a result, your water heater must work harder to heat the water.
One of the best maintenance services for this issue is to flush the tank. This procedure removes the sediment that prevents the water heater from working efficiently. We recommend flushing your water heater once a year. However, if hard water is an issue in your area, you will need to have more frequent services.
Other water heater maintenance services include:
- Checking and replacing the anode rod
- Testing the pressure relief valve
- Adjusting the water temperature
- Checking safety and performance
Tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand. They are more energy-efficient and last longer than standard tank water heaters, but they still require maintenance services. Our tankless water heater maintenance services will keep your system at optimal levels while reducing your energy consumption.
Tankless water heaters are susceptible to mineral buildup like standard models. Mineral buildup can cause scaling in the heat exchanger. This buildup interferes with the system’s ability to heat water. During a tankless water heater maintenance service, we will flush the system with a cleaning solution. This solution dissolves mineral deposits, keeping the system clean and running efficiently.
Other tankless water heater maintenance services include:
- Inspecting burner performance
- Looking for leaks or corrosion
- Checking vents and air intake
- Cleaning the filter
