Regular professional maintenance extends the life of your water heater & keeps efficiency high.
Water heater maintenance inspects, cleans and tests key components to improve efficiency, prevent breakdowns and extend system lifespan. Regular service helps reduce energy costs and protects against leaks, corrosion and unexpected failure.
It’s especially important to keep your water heater running efficiently, not only to avoid the inconvenience of it breaking but to keep operating costs to a minimum.
Our technicians provide professional water heater maintenance in Waukesha for residential and light commercial systems. Each visit is focused on performance, safety and long-term reliability.
We provide maintenance service for all types of hot water heaters, including:
We service all major brands and explain every step of the process so you understand the condition of your system and any recommendations.
A standard water heater maintenance visit may include:
Storage tank water heaters should be emptied and have the bottom drain flushed once a year to clear out sediment and maintain water purity. The technician will inspect the water tank and connections, looking for corrosion.
The anode rod in the tank may need to be replaced as part of regular service. The anode rod is connected to the top of the water tank and hangs down into the water. The anode rod starts to corrode before the steel tank does, releasing electrons and preventing corrosion in the rest of the unit. Anode rods wear out within a few years and need to be replaced.
The pressure relief valve is inspected alongside other components to make sure everything’s in good working order.
At a minimum, your tankless water heater should be serviced by a professional once a year. If you have hard water or keep your water heater set extra hot, you may need service twice a year.
Minerals in the water can build up inside the heat exchanger, which reduces the surface area available to heat your water. This makes the unit work harder to do the same job, increasing energy consumption. Mineral buildup can also permanently damage the heating elements, so be sure to keep up with regular service to protect your investment.
The hotter the temperature, the faster chemicals dissolve in water. If you have hard water and keep the settings high, we recommend our yearly
service plan, which includes seasonal maintenance and discounted rates. We can repair and replace water heaters that are too old to perform preventative maintenance on.
Most water heaters should be professionally serviced once per year. Annual maintenance:
Tankless systems and homes with hard water may require more frequent service.
Water heater maintenance involves electrical components, gas connections, pressure systems and high temperatures. Professional service ensures:
Attempting DIY maintenance can result in system damage, leaks or safety hazards.
