Why Water Heater Maintenance Matters in Huntertown Homes
Tank-style water heaters work hard every day, storing and heating gallons of water so it’s ready on demand. But over time, sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank. This mineral buildup can cause reduced heating efficiency, higher energy bills, shorter equipment lifespan, strange noises and rumbling, and a higher risk of leaks and corrosion
In Huntertown, where our water often contains moderate levels of minerals, the risk of sediment buildup is even more relevant. From neighborhoods like Towne Square and Rolling Oaks to the rural homes near Hathaway and Coldwater Roads, every home’s water heater faces the same aging challenges.
Fortunately, with proper annual water heater maintenance from T&T Plumbing & Heating, Inc., your water heater can keep running efficiently for 10–15 years or more.
What’s Included in a Tank Water Heater Tune Up?
At T&T Plumbing & Heating, Inc., we don’t believe in quick, surface-level checkups. Our water heater maintenance services are thorough, preventative, and personalized to each Huntertown household’s usage needs.
Here’s what we typically include in our comprehensive tank water heater tune up:
1. Full Tank Flushing
We drain and flush the water heater tank to remove sediment, scale, and mineral buildup. This is one of the most important steps for maintaining performance and reducing strain on the heating element.
2. Anode Rod Inspection
The anode rod protects your tank from internal rust and corrosion. We’ll inspect it and replace it if necessary, especially important in homes drawing from well water or older municipal lines off Lima Road.
3. Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Testing
Your T&P valve is a safety feature that releases pressure if it builds too high. We test this to ensure it’s working properly, keeping your home safe from potential ruptures.
4. Electrical or Gas Component Check
Whether your water heater is gas-fired or electric, we’ll examine the burners, thermostat, wiring, and heating elements to make sure everything operates as intended.
5. Inspection for Leaks or Corrosion
We check for leaks at the base, corrosion around fittings, and signs of tank fatigue that could signal future breakdowns.
6. Thermostat Calibration
We confirm your water temperature is set to the optimal range (typically 120°F for safety and efficiency), which is especially important in homes with small children or elderly family members.
7. Review of Age and Efficiency
We’ll give you an honest, professional assessment of your unit’s condition and whether maintenance will extend its life or if a new water heater installation may be the smarter investment.
The Cost of Neglecting Your Water Heater
Skipping maintenance might save you a bit upfront, but it can cost you much more later. Here’s what we’ve seen happen across Allen County homes:
- Shortened Equipment Lifespan: Sediment buildup can overwork the heating element, leading to burnout and tank failure.
- More Repairs: The increased strain on your unit wears parts out faster, leading to more water heater repair calls.
- Higher Utility Bills: A dirty or corroded water heater has to work harder, drawing more electricity or gas to heat the same amount of water.
- Emergency Flood Damage: A corroded tank can rupture without warning, flooding basements, damaging flooring, and requiring costly cleanup.
By investing in yearly maintenance from T&T Plumbing & Heating, Inc., Huntertown homeowners avoid these headaches and enjoy steady, reliable hot water for years.
