If you’ve ever learned firsthand (via a surprise unexpected ice cold shower), how much we rely on our hot water heaters to consistently deliver hot water, then you can appreciate the importance of regular water heater maintenance.

Your hot water heater is an appliance that needs regular cleaning and maintenance to work as efficiently and reliably as possible. Sediment and minerals can build up inside the tank and promote early corrosion, and inefficient water heating. This sediment buildup will cost you more money in the long run at best (by requiring more energy to heat the water), or shortening the life of your hot water heater (via an unexpected leak and possible water damage) at worst.

We recommend an annual maintenance check and cleaning of your water heater for optimal safety and efficiency. North Raleigh Plumbing offers regular water heater maintenance, which includes flushing the sediment buildup out of your water heater, inspecting heating elements and burners, and all safety equipment.
