Why Would A Water Heater Stop Working?

For an electric water heater, the problem could be as obvious as the electricity being out, or the heating element may have stopped working. For a gas water heater, the problem could be as simple as a bad pilot light. Call us and we can come out and diagnose the problem.

Your Water Heater May Have Reached The End Of Its Life

If your water heater is around 10 years old, it might be time for a replacement. We’ll inspect your water heater and talk to you about your options.

How Can I Help My Water Heater Last Longer?

As with just about any appliance, regular maintenance is a good idea for water heaters. We recommend you flush your water heater every six months or once a year – we’ll advise you based on your specific situation. We can flush the tank for you and, if necessary, replace the anode rod. Replacing this rod every few years can greatly extend the life of your water heater.
