Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend annual maintenance for most tank water heaters. However, semi-annual check-ups might be beneficial if you have hard water or heavy usage.

While professional maintenance is crucial, you can help by visually inspecting for leaks, listening for unusual noises, and flushing a quart of water from the tank every three months to reduce sediment buildup. Always consult your owner's manual before attempting any maintenance.

Repair times vary depending on the issue. Simple fixes might take an hour or less, while more complex problems could require several hours. We always provide an estimate before beginning work and strive to complete repairs efficiently.

If your water heater is over 10 years old and experiencing issues, replacement is often more cost-effective in the long run. However, for younger units or minor problems, repairs can be a good solution. We'll provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.

The anode rod typically needs replacement every 3-5 years. However, factors like water quality can affect its lifespan. During our maintenance visits, we'll check the anode rod and advise if replacement is necessary.
