Benefits of Preventative Water Heater Maintenance

Your water heater is an investment in comfort, savings, and peace of mind. So, keep it operational, safe, and energy-efficient with GEM’s annual hot water tank maintenance services.

Regular tune-ups help to:

• Prolong system lifespan: Flushing your water heater annually helps prevent sediment buildup, reducing the risk of corrosion and leaks that could lead to costly replacements.
• Protect warranty: Most warranties don’t cover failures caused by scale buildup. Annual maintenance ensures your water heater stays within warranty guidelines, giving you peace of mind.
• Improve efficiency: Maintenance helps your water heater operate more efficiently by removing scale buildup from heating elements, reducing energy consumption, and lowering utility bills.
• Prevent costly repairs: Regular maintenance can identify potential issues early, allowing for small repairs before they turn into expensive problems.

Signs You Need Water Heater Maintenance

Some signs are easy to spot, while others require a more detailed inspection. By paying attention to your water heater, you can identify potential issues early, allowing you to address them before they get worse.

Common signs of water heater malfunction include:

• Water heater leaks: Leaks can indicate damaged pipes or a failing tank, which could lead to water damage or system failure if left untreated.
• No hot water: A lack of hot water may be due to a malfunctioning heating element or thermostat, signaling the need for repair or maintenance.
• Insufficient hot water: If your water heater can’t provide enough hot water, sediment buildup or a failing heating element could be to blame.
• Pilot light keeps going out: A constantly extinguishing pilot light could be caused by a faulty thermocouple or a dirty burner, potentially leading to a complete failure.
• Strange water heater noises: Unusual sounds like popping or rumbling may be caused by sediment buildup, which can damage your tank over time if not addressed.
• Smelly or rusty hot water: Smelly or discolored water may indicate a corroded tank or a bacterial buildup, leading to water quality issues if not corrected.
