Water Heater Services Newport, MI

You should schedule tank water heater maintenance services at least once a year. It’s the best way to maintain efficiency, avoid unexpected repairs, and extend the system’s life. A routine inspection is also crucial if you have a fuel-burning system that exhausts outside the home. All tank water heaters build up sediment over time, which we remove by flushing the tank. It’s also important to check the anode rod and replace it as needed. Otherwise, your tank will be much more susceptible to rust.

Bad valves are among the most common repair issues, and replacing them is usually a relatively simple and inexpensive fix. There’s a gas valve if you have a fuel-burning system. All tank models have a drain valve for flushing the system. You should also check the temperature-and-pressure relief (TPR) valve regularly. It lets water escape when the pressure in the tank gets too high.

Another common issue is low hot water pressure. If you experience it from every tap, it’s usually a water heater problem. It may indicate a buildup of limescale restricting the flow of water. It could also be a bad TPR valve or a sign of corrosion within the system.

If your water heater is older or in poor condition, it may be better to replace it than repair it. An upside to our water heater installation services is the opportunity to reassess your daily needs and peak demand. These can evolve as your household does. The average home needs around a 50-gallon tank. There are also smaller tanks for couples and individuals. We even offer 100-gallon and bigger tanks for big families living in large homes.

Watch for the signs it’s time to repair or replace your water heater:

• Not enough hot water
• Low hot water pressure
• Foul smells or odd noises
• Leakage or excess condensation
• Inconsistent water temperatures
