Water Heater Maintenance in San Jose

Once a year for tank models, and every one to two years for tankless. San Jose's hard water can push tank service to twice yearly.

A full tank flush, anode rod check, T&P valve test, thermostat and element inspection, burner check on gas units, and a leak and corrosion scan.

Very much so. At 250-300 mg/L, San Jose's hard water drops sediment that can cut a tank's life by three to four years without yearly flushing.

They do. A tankless unit needs to be descaled every one to two years to clear scale from the heat exchanger and maintain its efficiency.

Most of the time. Regular checks catch a worn anode rod, a leaking valve, or heavy sediment before any of them shuts the unit down for good.

The Home Care Plan ($24.95/month) covers a water heater drain along with your seasonal HVAC and plumbing visits, plus priority scheduling and repair discounts.

Most visits run 45 minutes to an hour for a tank unit. A tankless descale can take a bit longer, depending on scale buildup.
