Water Heater Maintenance
Water Heater Maintenance in Sacramento, California
While water heaters can last around 10 years, if they’re not properly taken care of, they can break down earlier. With that in mind, if you properly maintain your unit, it can last even longer than 10 years. That’s why it’s important to regularly service your water heater and keep it in proper working order.
Our plumbing technicians at Gilmore have experience in handling all sorts of water heaters, including electric or gas, and tank or tankless. Reach out to us today for fast and routine water heater maintenance in the Sacramento Valley area.
Protect Your Water Heater With Routine Maintenance
Consistent maintenance is the key to a long-lasting water heater. Gilmore’s expert plumbers provide comprehensive tune-ups that ensure your system provides hot water when you need it most. We conduct a thorough multi-point inspection to identify potential failures before they disrupt your home.
Our routine maintenance service includes examining and servicing critical components:
- Tank Flushing: We drain and flush the tank to remove sediment and mineral buildup. This sediment forces your heater to work harder and can eventually cause the tank to leak.
- Anode Rod Inspection: We check the "sacrificial" anode rod. This component is designed to attract corrosion so that your actual steel tank does not rust.
- Safety Checks: We test the temperature and pressure relief valve to ensure your unit operates safely.
- Leak Detection: Our plumbers inspect all pipe connections, valves, and the tank body for early signs of moisture or corrosion.
- Burner Optimization: For gas units, we clean and adjust the burner assembly to improve heating efficiency and reduce gas usage.
You not only extend the lifespan of your unit but also reduce energy costs by staying ahead of these issues. Neglecting maintenance allows small problems like sediment buildup to get out of hand. This often leads to expensive water heater repairs or premature replacement. Trust our experienced professionals at Gilmore to keep your water heater clean, safe, and reliable throughout the entire year.
We Service Tankless Water Heaters
If your home has a tankless water heater, we provide service for those units as well. Since these units are set up differently than their tanked counterparts, it’s essential to speak to professionals who know how to handle these types of devices.
Improper tankless water heater installations can lead to problems within your system, which is why we prioritize examining every aspect of your unit, from its connections and pipes to its internal components. Get in touch with us today when you need help with the maintenance of tankless water heaters in the Sacramento area.
We use hot water in our homes every day, so why risk such an important investment? Contact us today to schedule an appointment, and we’ll send a water heater technician to thoroughly inspect, repair, and clean your device. Call us at (866) 394-1870 to get started.
