Add Years to Your Water Heater's Life and Enjoy Smaller Energy Bills!

Homeowners often hear a cracking, popping or bubbling sound. At first, they’re not sure of what it is, but after some inspection, they find it’s their water heater! Their water heater is literally begging for help, and homeowners call us for advice as to what to do.

Most people never think of their water heater. As long as it’s doing its job and supplying your baths and showers with hot water, you leave it alone. What you may not realize is water heaters need regular maintenance. They need to be flushed. Here’s why...

The water that comes into your water heater and home carries sediment. Over time, sediment will settle at the bottom of your tank. An older water heater can have up to eight (8) inches or more of sediment that’s accumulated at its bottom! Essentially, that sediment makes your water heater smaller, so you have less hot water to use!

In addition, sediment eats away at the interior of your water heater, which shortens its lifespan! Plus, without a regular flushing, bacteria will often grow in the tank. If you notice that your tap water smells like sulfur, your water has bacteria. Not sure what sulfur smells like? Imagine rotten eggs. It’s not very pleasant!

By having your water heater regularly flushed, you can reduce your energy bills and elongate its life! If you call Charles Krull & Son, Inc. Plumbing & Heating to flush your water heater this season, you can receive $33 OFF this service! Just mention that you read this article on the Patch.
