Why Water Heater Maintenance Should Never Be Ignored

Your water heater works hard every day — but when was the last time you gave it some attention? Neglecting water heater maintenance can lead to cold showers, higher energy bills, and costly breakdowns.

Signs Your Water Heater Needs Attention

  • Water takes longer to heat than usual.

  • You notice strange noises coming from the tank.

  • Water has a rusty colour or metallic smell.

  • There’s water pooling around the base of the heater.

These warning signs mean sediment buildup, corrosion, or leaks might already be forming inside your system.

The Benefits of Regular Maintenance

  • Improved efficiency: Removing sediment helps your heater warm water faster and use less energy.

  • Longer lifespan: Regular inspections prevent rust and damage that shorten your unit’s life.

  • Better water quality: Clean tanks mean cleaner, safer water for your home.
