Frequently Asked Questions About HWT Tank Maintenance
How often should I schedule maintenance for my hot water tank?
For optimal performance and longevity, we recommend professional maintenance annually for most residential hot water tanks in Calgary. However, homes with harder water may benefit from service every 6-8 months to prevent excessive sediment buildup. Regular maintenance prevents efficiency loss, extends equipment life, and helps avoid unexpected failures. Our technicians can assess your specific water conditions and usage patterns to recommend the ideal maintenance schedule for your system.
What does hot water tank maintenance include?
Our comprehensive maintenance includes sediment flushing to remove mineral buildup, inspecting or replacing the sacrificial anode rod, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, checking electrical connections or gas components, examining the tank for corrosion or leaks, verifying thermostat function, and ensuring proper temperature settings. This thorough process typically takes 60-90 minutes and restores your system to peak efficiency while preventing tank failure.
How much money can regular hot water tank maintenance save?
Regular maintenance delivers significant cost savings through multiple channels. First, it prevents efficiency losses that typically increase energy consumption by 15-30% when tanks accumulate sediment. Second, it extends equipment lifespan—properly maintained tanks typically last 10-15 years versus 5-8 years for neglected systems. Finally, it prevents catastrophic failures that can cause water damage to your home. For the average Calgary home, annual maintenance can represent lifetime savings of $1,500-$3,000 compared to neglected systems.
What are the signs my hot water tank needs immediate maintenance?
Warning signs include rusty or discolored water, strange noises (rumbling, popping, or banging), water temperature fluctuations, decreased hot water volume, visible moisture around the tank, or water heaters older than 3 years without service. If you notice any of these symptoms, professional maintenance can often resolve the issues before they lead to complete failure. Our technicians provide thorough assessment and honest recommendations based on your tank’s condition.
