HOT WATER FOR BETTER HEALTH
Constant hot water is always important for keeping healthy, of course. Adding to this, who doesn’t want to have a nice bath or shower after a long day at work? Above all, it shouldn’t cost a small fortune and it has to be there when you need it. Together with well-wiped surfaces, deep-cleaned rooms, and more frequently washed clothes, hot water can’t be considered a luxury until you really need it.
This is why our certified plumbers are on standby 24/7, ready to respond to homeowners needing a reliable water heater maintenance service. Always up to date with the latest technologies, we’ve been keeping families comfortable and their homes clean since 1970.
IT’S ONLY WATER – SO WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR HYBRID WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE?
In the course of a year, thousands of gallons of water flow through your tank. And the water in Central Ohio is generally hard, with high calcium and magnesium salt levels. Often found as chlorides, sulphates and bicarbonates, these minerals build up as sediment on the bottom of your tank, forming a barrier that the burners must get through in order to heat the water – and that means less hot water and higher utility costs.
These salts can also cause your tank to rust, leaving ugly brownish stains on sanitaryware and clothing. Worse still, a rusty tank is going to leak, which is extremely dangerous. Excess pressure in your water heating system can cause your water heater to explode. Compared to these risks, annual water heater maintenance costs (usually between $100 and $200) are a real bargain!
WHAT DO I GET WITH PROFESSIONAL HYBRID WATER HEATER MAINTENANCE?
A certified plumber will:
- flush your tank out with clean water until all the sedimented limescale is removed;
- clean the drain valve, and tighten it gently if necessary, being careful to avoid overtightening;
- check whether the sacrifice anode rod has dissolved enough to need replacement, as this low-cost item protects your tank against rust and decay;
- check electrical connections, cleaning and tightening them as required;
- check gas pipes, valves and burners, as a gas leak is a serious fire risk;
- make sure there is adequate ventilation, avoiding any build-up of toxic gases like carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide;
- check the pressures throughout your water heating system, as excess pressure can cause your water heater to explode.
This is why annual water heater maintenance is a must for keeping your family safe and sound. Far more than a luxury, ample hot water supplies are vital for staying fit and healthy.
