Water Heater Services in Whitefish and Nearby MT Areas

As a home or business owner, you can do many things to ensure that your water heater is running efficiently. One important thing to do is give Mr. Rooter Plumbing a call to inspect your unit on a yearly basis. Our qualified technicians will come to your home or place of business to inspect your water heater. Throughout the visit, we will stay in contact through text messages to confirm your appointment and provide updates on when we’ve sent someone and when they will arrive.

Steps to Take to Maintain an Efficient System

If your water heater has a problem, we will provide you with an estimate and inform you of what steps we’ll need to take to fix or replace it. In the meantime, here are some important steps you can take alone to routinely check your system and its health:

• Regular Inspections: Having your water heater thoroughly inspected at least once a year is the optimum way to ensure that it stays in good shape. Our qualified professionals at Mr. Rooter Plumbing are more than qualified to do so. A regular inspection helps prevent minor issues from turning into expensive problems. A change in water pressure or water temperature is a glaring sign of a unit being on its last legs.
• Flushing the Tank: Flushing your water heater’s tank on a yearly basis is a great way to maintain consistent unit health. Even if you own a tankless system, you should still flush it yearly to prevent dirt and sediment buildup, as well as corrosion.
  • To empty your unit, switch it off and equip a hose to the drain valve. Open the valve and let the water drain out until it begins to run clear. Then, you will want to refill the tank and turn the appliance back on.
  • In the event that your water heater is tankless, you may have to clean out an air or water filter that came with the appliance. If these are not cleaned regularly, the buildup in dirt or grime could lead to a decrease in water flow or temperature.
• Adding Insulation: Insulating your water heater tank is a cheap but effective way to keep the water hot and reduce your overall energy costs. An insulated water tank can also last longer than an uninsulated one, thanks to the protection added by the insulation.
• Cleaning the Tank: A dirty water heater could obscure signs of problems. Cleaning the exterior can help make any obvious damage easier to see. If you notice any rust, corrosion, or external damage to the unit, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing so we can inspect your unit and determine whether there’s something wrong with it.
• Lowering the Temperature: Water heaters are normally set to high temperatures that sometimes hover around 100 degrees Fahrenheit. It may seem counterproductive to lower the temperature, but it can help save you money on energy while simultaneously prolonging the unit’s life.
