Water Heater Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is key to prolonging the lifespan of your water heater and avoiding unexpected breakdowns. Fix-it Rite offers affordable maintenance plans that include regular inspections, cleaning, and tune-ups to keep your water heater running smoothly year-round.
Signs Your Water Heater Needs Maintenance
Even if you haven’t noticed any major issues with your water heater, it’s important to stay vigilant for these signs that it may be time for maintenance:
- Age: The average lifespan of a water heater is 8-12 years. If yours is nearing or past this timeframe, it’s important to have it inspected regularly.
- Inconsistent water temperature: If you notice your hot water going from scalding to lukewarm, it could indicate an issue with your heater’s thermostat.
- High energy bills: A poorly maintained or aging water heater can lead to higher energy costs as it works harder to heat your home’s water supply.
Have Questions About Your Water Heater Problems?
Here are the most Frequently Asked Questions.
Can I Install My Water Heater Outside?
Yes, but only under specific conditions. You can install a water heater outside if it's an outdoor-rated unit specifically designed to withstand weather conditions like rain, wind, and fluctuating temperatures. These units are built with durable materials and protective enclosures to handle the elements. Always check your local regulations and consult a professional to ensure proper installation and compliance with safety standards.
Why Does My Water Heater Keep Leaking?
Consistent water heater leaks can be caused by several issues. A faulty pressure relief valve, which regulates excessive pressure buildup, could be releasing water unnecessarily. A loose or damaged drain valve might also allow water to escape.
In more serious cases, the tank itself could be leaking due to corrosion or wear and tear from age. Ignoring these leaks can lead to significant water damage or complete system failure. It’s important to enlist professional services to inspect the unit, identify the source of the problem, and recommend the best course of action, whether that's repair or replacement.
When Should I Replace My Water Heater?
You should consider replacing your water heater under several circumstances. If it frequently requires repairs, doesn’t heat water efficiently, or takes longer to deliver hot water, it may no longer be reliable. A unit that’s over 10-15 years old is likely nearing the end of its lifespan. Additionally, visible signs of rust, corrosion, or persistent leaks are indicators that your water heater is deteriorating.
Replacing an old, inefficient unit with a newer model will save energy and ensure consistent hot water for your home. Always consult a professional to assess the condition of your unit and guide you through the replacement process.
