Water Heater Maintenance Steps You Should Never Skip

At no time of the year is the importance of your water heater more prevalent than in winter. That’s why it’s so essential to perform regular maintenance on your water heater. If you don’t maintain your water heater, it could eventually stop working, and you may find yourself without hot water during the coldest times of the year.

This blog post will discuss the five most important steps you should never skip when performing heater maintenance according to Optimal Plumbing Solutions, the go-to company for quality water heater repair in Raleigh, NC.

Check the Temperature and Pressure Relief (TPR) Valve

This valve is designed to release pressure from your water heater if it gets too high. You must check the TPR valve annually to ensure it is working properly or else the water heater get damaged and you will require a water heater replacement.

Inspect Your Anode Rod

Unless you have a tankless water heater, your heater will have an anode rod. The anode rod helps to protect the inside of your water heater from corrosion. Over time, the anode rod itself will corrode and need to be replaced. Inspect your anode rod regularly to ensure it can perform its intended function.

Flush Your Water Heater

Flushing your water heater helps eliminate any sediment that may have built up inside the tank. This is an important step in the water heater maintenance routine as sediment can lead to decreased efficiency and eventual failure of your water heater.

Check the Burner

If your water heater is powered by gas, you’ll need to check the burner every six months. Ensure the flame is blue and there are no signs of soot or other deposits around the burner. This ensures that your water heater is burning safely and efficiently.

Properly maintaining your water heater ensures it will run safely and efficiently for years to come. For dependable water heater installation, maintenance, and repairs, turn to Optimal Plumbing Solutions. Reach out to us today so we can help you with your plumbing needs!
