What Is Involved in a Maintenance Visit?

During a comprehensive maintenance visit, several critical procedures are performed to support your system's optimal performance and longevity. 

When we are performing maintenance, you can expect our team to:

  • Inspect water pressure: Our technicians begin by checking the water pressure to confirm that it falls within the recommended range. Excessively high or low pressure can affect the efficiency and lifespan of your water heater. 
  • Regulate water pressure: If the water pressure is not within the ideal range, we can take the necessary steps to adjust it accordingly. Proper regulation helps prevent damage to the unit and supports a consistent hot water supply. 
  • Manage thermal expansion: Our experts can assess thermal expansion, which occurs when the water heats up and expands. If necessary, we can install or inspect thermal expansion tanks to mitigate potential risks. 
  • Check the T&P relief valve: The temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve is a crucial safety feature. We can inspect this valve to confirm it operates correctly, preventing the dangerous buildup of pressure. 
  • Drain and flush the tank: Sediment can accumulate in the water heater over time, affecting performance. We can drain and flush the tank to remove any buildup, contributing to efficient operation and extending the life of your unit. 
  • Examine the anode rod: The anode rod is vital in preventing tank corrosion. Our technicians can examine its condition and replace it if necessary, so that your unit remains protected against rust and degradation.

You can trust that our meticulous maintenance visits are designed to catch potential issues early and optimize the performance of your water heater, helping it provide reliable service for years to come.
