GS Plumbing Provides Insight on How to Add Years to a Water Heater's Life
Greenville, SC (PRWEB) July 10, 2013 -- GS Plumbing advises homeowners on the simple easy-to-do maintenance tasks to ensure the long life of their water heater. Many homeowners don’t realize that water heaters need minor maintenance to achieve the maximum results. It’s imperative to flush a water heater every six months. GS Plumbing suggests flushing the heater now in the summer months, compared to when the weather turns cold in the near future.
GS Plumbing recommends homeowners call a certified plumbing contractor to flush out their water heater periodically. Water carries sediments that come into the home and water heater. It settles at the bottom of the tank and accumulates over time, decreasing the volume of the water heater, resulting in less available hot water. Sediment also eats away at the interior of the heater, shortening the lifespan while bacteria builds up. Customers will be able to easily identify the bacteria build up, due to the sulfur odor the bacteria gives off. Flushing a heater periodically reduces energy bills and expands its life.
When dealing with a temperamental water heater that loses water, it’s a good idea to see where the leak is coming from. If it’s leaking from the bottom, a replacement water heater may be necessary. But if it’s coming from the top, or near a valve, GS Plumbing may be able to repair it. GS Plumbing is the leading emergency plumber in Greenville. They have deep knowledge about tankless water heaters, and can recommend the right water heater to fit specific budgets. Some of the newest water heaters are the most efficient, including tankless water heaters, hybrid water heaters and heat pump electric water heaters.
