    Water Heater Maintenance Tips for Professionals

    Whether you’re a professional plumber or operate a construction business, being able to perform or explain to customers the basics of maintaining water heaters benefits companies in numerous ways.

    Plumbers can develop a greater sense of trust with their customers by showing them a few tips to keep their water heater operating smoothly between checkups.

    Those in the construction industry often find themselves needing to handle tasks such as maintaining these devices as a part of a remodeling project or restoration job.

    They are also often asked to work alongside plumbers during certain phases of jobs, so knowing a bit about maintenance is a great ally.

    Here are some simple upkeep tips that pros can use or share with their clients about water heaters without cutting into their business profits down the line.

    Periodically Flushing Water Heaters

    Sediment builds up in tanked models and reduces longevity and efficiency. Furthermore, the anode rods in tanks gradually break down as they serve their purpose of breaking down sediments.

    Tanks should be disconnected from power, connected to a water hose (or place a bucket beneath the release valve) and the sediment should be allowed to drain into a bucket through the hose or directly.

    Repeat until clean water comes out, refill the tank and restore power. This is a dirty job that homeowners are likely to call a professional plumber to handle.

    Wrapping and Insulating Tanks and Pipes

    A project every homeowner should be able to complete is insulating and/or wrapping the water heater tank and pipes.

    Keeping pipes and tanks insulated prevents condensation in warmer weather and reduces heating loss by 40% or more.

    Recommend a good 3/8-inch fast-wrap insulation for the pipes and a properly sized insulating blanket for water heaters that strap down securely.

    Minor Temperature Adjustments

    There may be times when homeowners need to adjust the water temperature throughout the home to prevent scalding incidents, while away on travel, or to accommodate for freezing temperatures.

    As a plumber or contractor, you can show them how to adjust the temperature controls on both tanked and tankless units with just a few minutes and a screwdriver.

    If you encounter clients in need of a brand-new installation or a replacement water heater, it’s important to not only recommend the best water heaters for their needs, but to explain the basics of proper care.
