Water heaters are among the hardest-working appliances in any property, providing hot water for bathing, cooking, cleaning, and other essential tasks. Over time, sediment buildup, mineral deposits, corrosion, and other factors can compromise the efficiency and performance of your water heater, leading to reduced heating capacity, increased energy consumption, and potential breakdowns. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues by addressing minor problems before they escalate into major repairs or failures, saving you time, money, and inconvenience in the long run.

The Essential Parts of Water Heater Maintenance from Wighton's Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning

• Flushing and Descaling: Flushing and descaling the water heater tank and heat exchanger remove sediment, mineral deposits, and scale buildup that can impede heat transfer and reduce efficiency. Our technicians use specialized equipment and solutions to flush and descale your water heater thoroughly, restoring optimal performance and efficiency.
• Inspection of Anode Rod: The anode rod is a sacrificial component that helps protect the tank from corrosion by attracting corrosive elements in the water. Over time, the anode rod may deteriorate and require replacement to maintain tank integrity. Our technicians inspect the condition of the anode rod during maintenance visits and recommend replacement as needed to extend the lifespan of your water heater.
• Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Testing: The temperature and pressure relief (TPR) valve is a critical safety component that releases excess pressure or temperature buildup inside the water heater tank to prevent explosions or ruptures. Testing the TPR valve ensures that it functions correctly and provides reliable safety protection for your property.
• Inspection of Electrical or Gas Connections: Water heaters powered by electricity or gas require proper electrical or gas connections for safe and efficient operation. Our technicians inspect electrical wiring, connections, and gas lines for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, ensuring compliance with safety standards and regulations.
• Check for Leaks and Corrosion: Water leaks or corrosion on the water heater tank, fittings, or connections can indicate potential problems that require attention. Our technicians carefully inspect the water heater for leaks, corrosion, rust, or other signs of deterioration, addressing issues promptly to prevent water damage and ensure continued operation.
