Maintenance

Extending the Life of Your Water Heater

Why Water Heater Maintenance Matters in Colts Neck

From large households near Dorbrook Park to busy restaurants off Route 34, hot water is essential. When water heaters fail, the disruption can be costly. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your unit but also helps lower utility bills and prevent unexpected breakdowns.

Simple Water Heater Maintenance Steps

  1. Flush the Tank Annually

    Sediment buildup reduces efficiency. Draining and flushing once a year keeps water clean and heating elements effective.

  2. Check the Temperature Setting

    Keep it at 120°F to balance comfort, safety, and energy savings.

  3. Inspect the Anode Rod

    This rod protects your tank from corrosion. Replacing it every few years helps prevent leaks.

  4. Examine Connections and Valves

    Look for drips, rust, or mineral buildup around fittings. Addressing small issues early avoids bigger repairs later.
