Water Heater Maintenance & Tune-Ups in the Richmond Area
It is a good idea to have your water heater serviced twice a year. This is especially important if you have hard water or an older water heater. During a typical maintenance appointment, our technicians will test the TPR valve, inspect the anode rod, drain and flush the water heater tank, wash out sediment, check insulation and electrical connections, and much more. From the pilot light to the exhaust, we’ll make sure that your hot water heater will deliver a reliable and steady stream of hot water to your faucets, showers, dishwasher, and more.
Your water heater will last 8 to 10 years, and possibly even longer, with regular maintenance. Further, our team will help you determine when and if the time has come to replace your aging hot water heater with a newer, more energy-efficient option.

Frequently Asked Questions About Water Heaters
Why is the pilot light not lighting or staying lit?
Pilot lights that won’t light or won’t stay lit can be a real headache. This is usually because there’s either a draft that blows the light out, a malfunctioning component, or a clog in the gas line.
Can water heater leaks be repaired?
Leaking water is a significant concern, and our technicians can repair some causes of leaks. Loose connections are usually easy to fix. However, some problems, such as rusted tanks, cannot be repaired and require replacing the hot water heater.
Why is the tank rumbling?
The rumbling is usually caused by a buildup of sediment in the hot water tank. Removing the sediment usually resolves the issue.
Why don’t I have enough hot water?
If your hot water usage hasn’t changed much (you complete the same number of showers and dishwasher cycles), you may have a gas control valve that’s broken, a malfunctioning thermostat, a damaged/burned-out electrical element or thermostat, or too much sediment in the tank.
