Water Heater
Repairs / Replacements / Upgrades (Electric, Gas & Tankless)
Water heater repairs, replacements, and upgrades are essential to ensure a steady supply of hot water and optimize energy efficiency. Electric water heaters can be repaired or replaced with newer models featuring advanced insulation and heating elements. Gas water heaters may require repair or replacement of faulty thermocouples, pilot lights, or gas valves. Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, can be installed to provide continuous hot water and reduce energy consumption.
Upgrades may include switching to energy-efficient models, such as heat pump water heaters or tankless water heaters. Professional plumbers from Allegiant Plumbing Services can diagnose and repair issues, recommend replacement options, and install new units, ensuring a reliable and efficient hot water supply. Regular maintenance, like flushing sediment and inspecting anode rods, can also extend the lifespan of your water heater.
Water Heater Flushes
Water heater flushes are a crucial maintenance task to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your water heater. Sediment and mineral buildup can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, reducing heat transfer and leading to increased energy bills, corrosion, and even tank failure. Flushing the water heater involves draining the tank to remove sediment and debris, and then refilling it with fresh water. This process can be done by a professional plumber from Allegiant Plumbing Services or as a DIY project, typically every 6-12 months depending on usage and water quality.
Regular flushing can help prevent issues like rust, leaks, and bacterial growth, and maintain the water heater’s performance and efficiency. Additionally, inspecting the anode rod and replacing it if necessary can further extend the life of your water heater. By incorporating regular flushes into your maintenance routine, you can enjoy a reliable and efficient hot water supply.
