The Importance of Water Heater Maintenance

Water heaters don’t last forever, but with maintenance, you can enhance their longevity. Over time, mineral build-up can affect the performance of your hot water tank. Having it flushed could keep it working optimally and prevent a breakdown. While preventative maintenance can sometimes ward off problems, even the most-meticulously maintained water heaters will get older and begin to show signs of failing. If your water heater demonstrates any of the following issues, you may need to have it repaired or replaced:

  • Reduced amount of hot water
  • No hot water
  • Leaky pressure valve
  • Cloudy water
  • Sandy, muddy, or rusty water
  • Leaking tank
  • Works but noisily
  • Needs multiple repairs

If you ever experience these issues with your water heater, contact Autry Plumbing. We have years of experience troubleshooting, repairing, and installing hot water heaters for customers in and around Asheville, NC.

Traditional Water Heater Tanks

Conventional water heaters with tanks are popular throughout the Asheville region and in surrounding communities. These water heaters run on natural gas, propane, and even electricity. Typically, most of these appliances can hold between 30 to 50 gallons of water. The water heater heats and stores the hot water until you need it for showering, washing your hands, or running the dishwasher, for example.

To get the most value out of this appliance, you should have it maintained by a knowledgeable plumber. Autry Plumbing performs routine maintenance for customers with traditional hot water heaters. Our plumbing contractors can expertly maintain this appliance, helping you to extend its life for as long as possible. If you need water heater repair Asheville or maintenance services, we can handle it!

Tankless Water Heaters

Many homeowners today are talking to us about tankless water heaters. We also have experience repairing and installing these appliances. Sometimes known as ‘on-demand’ water heaters, tankless water heaters are more energy efficient than conventional tank water heaters. They rely on high-powered burners to heat water quickly. When you need it, the water is delivered through an ‘exchanger.’ The exchanger heats the water quickly as it is dispensed to and through your faucets. You can typically fuel these units with gas or electricity.
