Importance of Maintenance
A water heater is one of those devices people install and then forget about it, until it stops working properly, giving you a cold shower. Basic water heater maintenance will be helpful in reducing the frequency of repairs and extending the service of your water heater, avoiding early replacement. Simple maintenance procedures will affect your water heater lifespan and eliminate unpleasant moments of cold showers. At Orange County Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning our plumbing experts will consult you on proper measures that should be taken when maintaining your water heater.
Mineral deposits that accumulate in the water heater will destroy it. People spend extra money to replace heating elements and entire tanks without realizing that little maintenance techniques would help avoid this expense and reduce electric bills. The following water heater maintenance tips will help you maintain your traditional, tank water heater.
Check the Anode Rod – these rods avert rusting of your hot water tank and should be replaced when the steel wire is showing. Check them on a regular basis, calling a professional plumber to do the job once a year.
Flush – every year you should flush water in your water heater, this simple procedure cleans sediment build-up in the tank, prolonging the service of both the tank and the heating element.
Drain – Drain the tank entirely to prevent flooding when you are gone and turn your water heater off during winter. Make sure to refill it before turning the water heater back on!
Check the Pipes – inspect the water piping for leaks or damage. Leaks are extremely important to be taken care of immediately, since they can damage more than just your water heater.
Check the T&P Valve – make sure your temperature and pressure relief valve is still good, at least once in two years. This valve guards your water heater from extreme pressures and temperatures by discharging water and is installed on all tank style water heaters.

Selecting the right water heater
Before buying a new water heater for your home, consider its fuel type and energy source, as well as its availability and cost. Depending on the fuel used by a water heater, annual operation costs and energy efficiency will either increase or diminish.
The types of water heating systems in demand for home use are conventional storage water heaters.
A common storage water heater for one family has a ready reservoir (from 20 to 80 gallons) of hot water. After you turn the hot water tap on, hot water from the top of the tank starts running. Cold water enters the bottom of the tank continually to substitute that hot water for the tank to be always full.
Fuel sources for storage water heaters are electricity, natural gas, propane, and fuel oil. To find out more about fuel types and water heater options available, contact Orange County Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning.
When selecting the water heater, think about some less traditional storage water heaters such as heat pump water heaters. These kinds of the water heaters will cost more, but they have lower annual operating costs in comparison with conventional storage systems.
Water Heater Repair
Your water heater is probably one of the most utilized appliances at your home. When it starts to wear out, sediment accumulation is the most common thing to blame. If you have a tank water heater, limescale and other minerals build up on the sides of the tank and the burner when water is being heated. These minerals can either be removed out of the water heater by method of water filtration or you might need a water heater replacement in case if there is an old and significant sediment barrier.
