Water Heater Maintenance Process Lockwood

Here's How We Service Your System

First, we inspect your entire water heater system – tank or tankless – checking for leaks, corrosion, and wear. We test the temperature and pressure relief valve, examine electrical connections, and verify proper ventilation.

Next, we flush the system to remove sediment buildup that reduces efficiency and causes problems. For tankless units, we descale the heat exchanger. For tank systems, we check the anode rod and replace it if needed.

Finally, we test everything to make sure your water heater is operating safely and efficiently. You’ll get a clear report of what we found and any recommendations for keeping your system in top condition.

How often should I have my water heater serviced?

Most water heaters should be serviced annually, but it depends on your water quality and usage. If you have hard water or use your hot water heavily, you might benefit from more frequent maintenance. Tankless water heaters typically need descaling every 6-12 months depending on mineral content in your water. Regular maintenance prevents most major problems and keeps your system running efficiently. We can recommend the right schedule based on your specific water heater and local water conditions.
Skipping maintenance leads to sediment buildup, reduced efficiency, and premature failure. Your energy bills will increase as the system works harder to heat water. Tank water heaters can develop leaks or complete failure, while tankless units can clog with mineral deposits. Most manufacturers require regular maintenance to keep warranties valid, so neglecting service could void your coverage. Emergency repairs are always more expensive than preventive maintenance, and you risk being without hot water at the worst possible time.
Yes, we service all types of water heating systems including traditional tank water heaters, tankless units, and hybrid systems. Each type requires different maintenance procedures – tank systems need anode rod inspection and sediment flushing, while tankless water heaters need descaling and heat exchanger cleaning. Our technicians are trained on all major brands and models. We carry the right tools and parts for comprehensive maintenance on any water heater system in your home.
Most water heater maintenance takes 1-2 hours depending on your system type and condition. Tank water heaters typically take longer because of the flushing process, while tankless maintenance can be quicker unless descaling is needed. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when we schedule your service. We work efficiently but thoroughly – we don’t rush through the process because proper maintenance requires attention to detail. You can plan your day around our arrival time.
Absolutely. Regular maintenance keeps your water heater running at peak efficiency, which directly impacts your energy costs. Sediment buildup forces your system to work harder and use more energy to heat water. Clean systems heat water faster and maintain temperature better. A well-maintained water heater can reduce energy consumption by 10-15% compared to a neglected system. Over time, the energy savings from regular maintenance often pay for the service cost while extending your equipment’s lifespan.
Yes, we provide emergency water heater repair when you need it most. However, regular maintenance dramatically reduces the chances you’ll need emergency service. Most water heater emergencies are preventable with proper maintenance – we catch problems early before they become urgent situations. When emergencies do happen, we respond quickly to restore your hot water. But our goal is to keep your system maintained so well that you rarely need emergency repairs.
