Water Heater Maintenance

It probably comes as no surprise that water heaters are designed to do two basic things:

1. Heat water
2. Keep it hot for as long as possible

The former is a function of comfort and is optimized to ensure you always have hot water when you need it. The latter is a function of efficiency and is designed to hold the heat in the system for as long as possible.

So, you don’t want your water heater to stop providing hot water when you need it or to start shedding heat much faster, costing you more money to operate the system. Regular water heater repair and maintenance can keep both of these issues from happening while prolonging the lifespan of the device.

Our technicians will inspect your water heater in or any Greater Bowling Green, KY area each year, clean it and check the connections to ensure it is running properly. We can also empty the tank and clean out any sediment and check the insulation for any signs of wear.

While ideally, regular maintenance will keep your water heater running properly, it may not always be the case. If your water heater stops working properly or springs a leak, you will need one of our Bowling Green, KY water heater repair and maintenance technicians to provide repair services. For this reason, we ensure someone is always on call for emergency service so that major problems can be fixed as quickly as possible. If your problem is smaller and can be scheduled, we are available almost any day of the week to visit for repairs and can ensure your system runs properly once those repairs are completed

A hot water heater is exposed to heat, corrosion, mineral deposits, and more during its service life. Without yearly maintenance, these forces may cause reduced comfort, breakdowns, or even premature failure of your water heater. At Shane Elmore, our water heater tune-up can help to:

• Discover problems early
• Prevent breakdowns and service calls
• Extend the service life of your water heater
• Keep energy costs to a minimum
• Improve tank performance
• Increase your comfort
