Consistent Hot Water When You Need It

Your morning shower shouldn’t be a gamble. Regular water heater maintenance keeps your system running efficiently, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and saves you money on energy bills.

When your water heater is properly maintained, you get consistent temperature, reliable performance, and peace of mind. No more cold showers, no more worrying about flooding, and no more surprise repair bills that could have been prevented.

Jackson’s mineral-rich water creates unique challenges for water heaters. Sediment builds up faster here, which means your system works harder and costs more to operate. Regular maintenance removes this buildup and keeps everything running smoothly.

Water Heater Maintenance Process

What Happens During Your Service

First, we inspect your entire water heater system, checking for leaks, corrosion, and wear points. We test the temperature and pressure relief valve, examine all connections, and assess the overall condition of your unit.

Next, we flush the tank to remove sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and shortens your system’s life. For tankless units, we descale the heat exchanger and clean the intake filter. We also check and adjust the temperature settings for optimal performance.

Finally, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly and give you a clear report of what we found. If we spot any potential issues, we’ll explain what needs attention and when, so you can plan accordingly instead of dealing with emergency repairs.

How often should I have my water heater maintained in Jackson?

Most Jackson homeowners benefit from annual maintenance due to our mineral-heavy water. If you have a large family or very hard water, twice a year makes sense. Tankless units often need more frequent descaling because of how Jackson’s water interacts with the heat exchanger. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a schedule that actually fits your needs, not just a standard recommendation that might not work for your home.
Sediment builds up faster in Jackson’s water, which makes your heater work harder and use more energy. The buildup also creates hot spots that can crack the tank or damage heating elements. You’ll notice longer recovery times, inconsistent temperatures, and higher utility bills. Eventually, you’re looking at premature failure and potential flooding. Regular maintenance costs a fraction of what you’ll spend on emergency repairs or early replacement.
Yes, tankless systems need regular maintenance just like traditional tanks, but the process is different. We descale the heat exchanger, clean the intake filter, and check the venting system. Jackson’s mineral content can clog tankless units quickly, so they often need more frequent service than the manufacturer suggests. We’ll flush the system with descaling solution and test all the sensors to make sure everything is working efficiently.
Basic maintenance typically runs between $150-250 depending on your system type and what we find during the inspection. Tankless units cost slightly more due to the descaling process. If we discover issues that need attention, we’ll give you a clear estimate before doing any additional work. Most homeowners find that regular maintenance saves them hundreds compared to emergency repairs or premature replacement costs.
Call us right away if you notice rusty or discolored water, strange noises like popping or rumbling, water pooling around the unit, or a rotten egg smell near gas units. Inconsistent water temperature or taking much longer to get hot water also signals problems. In Jackson’s climate, these issues can escalate quickly, especially during winter when you’re relying on your system more heavily.
Yes, we provide emergency service for urgent water heater problems. If your system fails completely, starts leaking, or you suspect a gas leak, don’t wait. We understand that losing hot water isn’t just inconvenient in Jackson’s mountain climate – it can be a real problem, especially during colder months. Our emergency service gets you back up and running as quickly as possible, though regular maintenance is always the better approach than waiting for emergencies.
