There are few appliances that Pomona homeowners rely on more than their water heaters. We use hot water for bathing, washing, cooking, and more. When water heater problems arise, they can disrupt our daily routines and make life miserable.
Regular maintenance is the best way to avoid water heater problems and expensive repair bills. It also extends the useful life of your water heater. Call Preferred Plumbing and Rooter Service for professional water heater maintenance services in Pomona, CA.
Regular Water Heater Inspections
It’s important to have your water heater inspected at least once or twice a year. During an inspection, the plumber will check for loose screws, nuts, and bolts, as well as aged gaskets, that could result in water leaks. They’ll also look for any signs of rust or corrosion that could affect water heater performance and hot water quality.
Flush Out Your Water Heater
Draining your water heater a couple of times a year is an effective way to prevent many water heater problems. It removes sediments and other deposits that can make it hard for your water heater to do its job. Flushing the old water out of your water heater and replacing it with fresh water is one of the most cost-effective ways to prolong the life of your water heater.
Replace The Anode Rod
An anode rod is a steel tube that helps prevent the inside of your water heater from corroding. Its function is to attract the elements in the water that cause oxidation. Anode rods last only for three to five years. Rust-colored or metallic-tasting water is a sign that your anode rods may need to be replaced.
When Should You Replace Your Water Heater?
Even with the best maintenance, your water heater won’t last forever. In addition to water heater maintenance and repair, Preferred Plumbing and Rooter Service offers professional water heater installation services. We can help you select the best replacement water heater for you and your family’s needs. For instance, if your old water heater was having trouble keeping up with demand, we can install a tankless, on-demand water heater that can deliver a near-limitless supply of hot water.
