Everyone understands that regular maintenance is imperative for extending the life of any equipment, thus saving money overall. Water heaters are no different. 1st Choice Plumbing offers a water heater maintenance service that thoroughly checks many of the aspects of the unit, including valves, heating elements, temperature and pressure relief lines, etc.
One of the most common items on water heater maintenance is a flush and refill. We will drain the water heater completely, clean out any sediment, and refill it. Over time, this sediment settles at the bottom of the tank and can create clogs, reduce efficiency, and generally shorten the service life of the unit as a whole. It’s recommended to flush and refill every year.
Expansion Tanks
An expansion tank is small tank that is attached to the homes water service, typically at the water heater. The thermal expansion tank is designed to handle the expansion of water as it heats up in the water heater. This protects fixtures with water supply against excessive water pressure cause by thermal expansion. This excessive pressure puts undo stress on any fixture with water supply.
