Water Heater Service

Flo Masters Plumbing and Drain is geared toward saving our customers money. You can save money and extend the life of your water heater by a little up keep. Flo Masters can perform basic maintenance and adjustments to you water heater. A water heater typically lasts between 8 and 12 years, but only if it is maintained properly. Flo Masters can help you in that process by:

• A complete flush of your water heater will prevent rust and corrosion by removing sediment from the bottom of the tank, a task that also improves the energy efficiency of the unit.
• Changing out your heating elements will help your water stay the correct temperature needed for your home.
• Another way to keep your system up is to check the temperature and pressure (T&P) relief valve; which is a critical safety feature of your water heater. It senses dangerous pressure buildup or excessively high temperature inside the water heater tank and automatically opens to relieve the pressure. Without an operational valve, a water heater is at risk of explosion. Therefore, water heater manufacturers recommend testing the T&P valve once per year.U.S.
• Your temperature should be checked on your water heater to make sure it is on the right settings. The Department of Energy recommends a setting of 120 F for most households, estimating that this can reduce energy costs for water heating by more than 5 percent. Lower temperatures also reduce the risk of scalding and slow the accumulation of mineral deposits in your water heater tank.
