Even if your water heater seems to be running perfectly, routine maintenance is essential to proactively identify and address potential issues before they escalate—saving you from costly repairs or an early replacement.

Over time, problems can impair its efficiency and performance. We recommend scheduling an annual maintenance and inspection for your water heater.

Let Ambient Edge handle annual maintenance, helping you save on energy costs while ensuring your water heater meets the demands of your home and family.

What Are the Advantages of Performing Annual Water Heater Maintenance?

Maintenance provides the following benefits:

  • Enhances your overall comfort
  • Improves your water heater’s performance
  • Can lower energy costs
  • Extends the lifespan of your water heater

Our Water Heater Maintenance Steps and Process

When you choose Ambient Edge to handle your annual water heater tune-up, you will receive the highest-quality workmanship and attention to detail. Here’s what you can expect from our water heater maintenance process:

Test the status of your thermostat and controls, to ensure it’s working properly.

Check for any leaks on the unit and test the unit’s performance.

Inspect the unit’s pressure relief and drain valve.

Inspect for sediment build-up in the unit’s anode rod.

Inspect burners and flue.

Test heating elements for electric unit models, and the gas valve and igniter on gas models.

Remove and flush out sediment from storage tank models.

Remove and flush out heat exchangers on tankless water heater models.

What is the Lifespan of a Water Heater?

A typical water heater lasts between 8 to 12 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and water quality. After 8 years, efficiency usually starts to decline, and repairs become more frequent. Once your water heater reaches 10 years or older, it’s a good idea to consider replacing it before issues like leaks arise.

To determine your water heater’s age, check the serial number on the manufacturer’s label. The first letter represents the month it was manufactured, while the following two numbers indicate the last digits of the production year. This will give you a clear idea of when your water heater was built and how much longer it may last.

Top Signs Your Water Heater Needs Repair

You can rely on Ambient Edge to precisely assess your water heater unit and determine if it needs to be repaired. But how do you know when it’s time to call us in?

Here is a helpful list of warning signs that your water heater needs maintenance or repair.

Age

Once your water heater reaches its 10th birthday, it could be due for replacement. After 8 years of running, water heaters start to decline in efficiency.

Low Amount of Hot Water

If your water heater isn’t providing enough hot water, it could be a sign of a malfunction or an inefficient system. Our experts can diagnose the issue and recommend the best solution to restore your hot water supply.

Poor Water Quality

Discolored, smelly, or cloudy water can indicate problems with your water heater’s tank or the water supply. If you notice any changes in water quality, it’s time to have your system inspected for potential repairs or cleaning.

Strange Operational Noises

Unusual sounds like popping, rumbling, or banging coming from your water heater often signal sediment buildup or other issues. These noises should be addressed quickly to prevent further damage to your unit.

System is Not Heating Water

When your water heater fails to heat your water, it leaves you without a vital resource. Our team will quickly identify the issue and determine whether a repair or replacement is necessary to restore your hot water.

Bad Odors

Foul smells from your hot water could be a sign of bacteria or sediment buildup inside the tank. Our available water heater repair services in Lake Havasu, Arizona and the surrounding areas will help you identify the cause of the strange odors. Our skilled plumbers will fix your system to ensure safe and clean water.

Collection of Limescale in Water Tank

Limescale buildup in your water heater’s tank can reduce efficiency and performance. Regular maintenance can prevent this issue, and our team can remove existing limescale to keep your unit running smoothly.

Water Heater is Leaking

A leaking water heater can lead to significant damage if left unchecked. If you notice water pooling around the unit, it’s crucial to contact a professional immediately to fix the leak and prevent water damage.

Low Water Pressure

There may be a water leak in your home if water pressure randomly drops in your faucets or showerheads and doesn’t return to normal. If you experience low water pressure for multiple days, we recommend shutting off your water supply and contacting our water leak repair team. We will fully inspect your water systems and find the issue.
