🔍 Water Heater Maintenance
Annual maintenance isn't exciting, but it's the difference between a water heater that lasts 8 years and one that lasts 15. Charlotte's relatively soft water is gentle on heaters, but that doesn't mean you can ignore them forever.
💵 Cost Reality: Maintenance visit: $100-150. New water heater installed: $1,500-3,000+. The math isn't complicated. Annual service extends equipment life and catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
What We Inspect
Tank Systems:
- Anode rod condition
- Sediment accumulation
- T&P valve function
- Thermostat accuracy
- Connection integrity
Tankless Systems:
- Heat exchanger scale
- Filter condition
- Ignition components
- Venting system
- Diagnostic codes
Flushing Schedule
We recommend flushing tank water heaters every 12-18 months in Charlotte. Tankless units should be descaled annually. Even with soft water, minerals accumulate over time — just more slowly than harder water regions.
