Our Water Heater Maintenance Checklist

When we visit your house to perform your water heater maintenance in Framingham or the surrounding area, we will:

Check temperature settings. While 120 is the recommended setting, you’ll save roughly 5% in heating costs for every 10 degrees that you turn it down. The dial that sets this can get bumped around fairly easily, so we’ll make sure it’s set where you want it.
Test temperature release valve. We’ll discharge the valve about 5 times. If it’s leaking, we’ll be able to tell and get it fixed for you!
Flush your water heater. We will drain about one quarter to one third of the tank to remove any sediment or other debris that has built up.We’ll also walk you through this process so you can try it yourself next time, if you’re interested in doing so!
Maintain clearance. Most water heaters need about 2 feet of clearance on all sides unless otherwise indicated in your owner’s manual, so we’ll be sure that’s the case for your appliance.
