Hard water conditions, high usage, or older units benefit from bi-annual service. Tankless systems particularly need regular descaling in Lancaster's hard water. Skipping maintenance accelerates wear and shortens lifespan significantly.
Skipping maintenance causes progressive problems: sediment accumulates reducing capacity and efficiency, anodes deplete allowing tank corrosion, scale builds up in tankless units, components wear prematurely, energy costs increase 10-30%, and failure risk multiplies. What seems like saving money actually costs more through inefficiency, repairs, and early replacement needs.
Schedule maintenance during mild weather - spring or fall are ideal. This timing avoids emergency season rushes, allows problem correction before peak demand, ensures technician availability, and provides convenient scheduling. Many choose spring service preparing for summer demand or fall service after heavy summer use. Consistency matters more than exact timing.
Comprehensive maintenance includes draining and flushing tanks to remove sediment, inspecting and testing all components, checking/replacing anode rods as needed, testing safety controls, cleaning burners or elements, calibrating thermostats, and analyzing performance. For tankless units, we perform descaling, filter cleaning, and combustion analysis. All services include detailed inspection reports.
Standard tank maintenance takes 60-90 minutes including draining, flushing, inspection, and testing. Tankless maintenance requires 90-120 minutes for thorough descaling and service. First-time maintenance may take longer if significant cleaning is needed. We work efficiently while maintaining thoroughness, respecting your time while ensuring comprehensive service.
Yes, we maintain all water heater types. Tank heaters including Bradford White, Rheem, AO Smith, and others receive specialized tank service. Tankless units like Navien, Rinnai, and Noritz get specific descaling and maintenance. Our technicians receive ongoing training for all brands and types, ensuring expert service regardless of your system.
Absolutely! Maintenance plans provide excellent value through priority service, repair discounts, predictable costs, automatic scheduling, extended equipment life, and peace of mind. Energy savings alone often cover plan costs. Adding prevented repairs and longevity benefits, plans save money while ensuring reliability. Most customers find plans invaluable for convenience and protection.
Yes, documented evidence shows maintained water heaters last 50-100% longer than neglected units. Regular sediment removal, anode replacement, and component care prevent premature failure. Tank heaters gain 3-5 years, while tankless units gain 5-10 years with proper maintenance. The extended life value far exceeds maintenance investments.
Anode rods are sacrificial metal rods that attract corrosive elements, protecting your tank from rust. As they deteriorate, they need replacement every 3-5 years depending on water conditions. Without functioning anodes, tanks corrode rapidly leading to leaks and failure. Regular inspection and replacement is crucial for tank longevity.
