Maintenance Tips for Your Water Heater

Regular maintenance is key to keeping your water heater running efficiently and extending its lifespan. Simple routine care can prevent unexpected breakdowns, improve energy efficiency, and save you money on costly repairs. At O'Connor Plumbing, we recommend easy maintenance tips to help you get the most out of your water heater.

Here are some of our best water heater maintenance tips:

  • Check the temperature setting - Keep it around 120°F to balance comfort and energy savings.
  • Inspect the pressure relief valve - Test it annually to ensure it’s working properly and preventing excess pressure buildup.
  • Flush the tank once a year - Remove sediment buildup to improve efficiency and prevent corrosion.
  • Insulate the water heater and pipes - Reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency, especially in colder areas.
  • Look for leaks or corrosion - Regularly inspect around the unit for any signs of water damage or rust.
  • Schedule professional maintenance - Have a licensed plumber perform a thorough inspection and tune-up every one to two years.

Following these simple steps can help keep your water heater in top shape and avoid emergency repairs down the line.

7 Warning Signs Your Water Heater May Need to Be Repaired or Replaced 

A failing water heater often gives off early warning signs before it completely breaks down. Catching these signs early on can help you avoid losing hot water altogether, or worse, dealing with a costly leak or flood. 

Common indicators that your water heater may need repair or replacement include:

  1. Inconsistent or no hot water - If your water temperature fluctuates or you’re suddenly running out of hot water faster than usual, your unit may be struggling to keep up.
  2. Unusual noises - Popping, banging, or rumbling sounds coming from the tank often mean there’s sediment buildup, which can damage the unit over time.
  3. Discolored or rusty water - Brown or rusty water coming from your hot water taps may indicate corrosion inside the tank or pipes.
  4. Water leaks - Any moisture, pooling water, or visible rust around the base of the unit is a serious sign that the tank could be cracking or failing.
  5. Age of the unit - Most traditional water heaters last around 8 to 12 years. If yours is older, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than repair it.
  6. Strange odors - A metallic smell or foul odor in your hot water can signal bacteria growth or deteriorating tank components.
  7. Rising energy bills - If your utility bills are creeping up without any other explanation, an inefficient water heater could be the cause.

If you notice any of these warning signs, don’t wait; contact O'Connor Plumbing. Our team offers same-day emergency plumbing services to assess the condition of your water heater and recommend the most reliable, energy-efficient solution for your home.

FAQ

Find Answers To Your Questions
  • What can I put in my garbage disposal?
    Garbage disposals are not macerators and will only break up soft debris. Mashed potatoes, cooked carrots, eggs etc. are ok to put in the disposal. Things like bones, coffee grounds, egg shells or any hard product will wear the blades and jam the disposal. You should always run water to the disposal to help break down the foods and flush through the drain. Call the professionals at O’Connor Plumbing for help with your disposal
  • Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?

    Drain cleaners are very toxic. If you ever look on the back of the product you will notice at least 3 warning labels. These are not very good products to have laying around your house especially if you have kids or pets. These toxic chemicals are also very bad for your pipes, causing them to deteriorate from the inside out. If this happens your drain lines will need to be replaced. There are enzymes and friendly bacteria products that will keep grease and sludge from building up inside of your pipes.

    If you have a clog please call the professionals at O’Connor Plumbing!

  • Why does the toilet keep running?
    This is probably the most commonly asked plumbing question. In most cases it is caused by the flapper not closing on or making a proper seal around the flush valve. If the flapper is not closing, then jiggle the handle and that will normally fix the issue. If the flapper is worn out and not properly sealing, then you will have to have the flapper replaced. Either way if the flapper does not seal the water will leak into the toilet and the tank will not fill with water to push the float up and turn off the supply of water.
  • Do I need a tankless water heater?
    Tankless water heaters, while at the front of technology, aren’t the solution for every house. Sometimes you are better off staying with your conventional heater. Here at O’Connor Plumbing we have tankless water heater experts that can provide you with a tankless or tank style heater that best suits your home.
