Water Heater Maintenance
Sign your water heater needs to be flushed
Even if everything seems fine, it’s still a good idea to schedule maintenance once a year. Flushing your system helps prevent buildup and keeps everything running the way it should.
For tank systems, that sound usually means sediment has settled at the bottom and is overheating.
Water heating can make up around 15% of your energy use. When buildup forces your system to work harder, your bills can climb.
If your water looks milky and settles at the bottom of a glass, sediment is likely the cause.
If your water heater isn’t giving you enough hot water for even a single shower, it’s time to call Morris-Jenkins!
Sediment can build up in both tank and tankless systems, narrowing water pathways and reducing water pressure across your home.
Whether it’s a tank refilling or a tankless system struggling with buildup, delays are a sign something isn’t right.
Even if you haven’t noticed any of the signs above, you should still get your water heater flushed annually. A water heater flush is an investment that can save you hundreds of dollars throughout the year by preventing costly repairs from sediment damage.
