All the Information You Need Before Purchasing a Water Heater

Water heaters have been around long enough that they are now a staple in the modern household. Water heaters make it possible for the public to properly clean things in the house like clothes, dishes, and even the people living in the home. Without a water heater, the world would likely see a lot more illnesses and diseases. Not only that, but hot water is crucial for safety in the winter months. Even in Nevada, the weather gets cold enough in the winter that without a water heater, you could get a cold simply from taking a cold shower. 

Throughout this article, you will learn all about water heaters, why they break, and how to prevent it from happening. Continue reading to learn all about it. 

What Is a Water Heater?

What Is a Water Heater System?

A water heater is a system that essentially takes the cold water and heats it up before it reaches your faucet. It only works when the faucet is turned toward the hot water direction. 

Water heaters have several components to them including: 

  • The tank
  • The heat pipe
  • The drain valve
  • An internal anode rod
  • Dip tube
  • Pressure relief valve
  • Insulating material to keep water hot

Each of these components is used in the process of heating up your water. There might be more than a few components that make up a water heater, but when they are all working together, the process seems relatively simple.

Below are the steps that make your water heater work

  • The cold water comes through the dip tube.
  • The water is then heated electrically in the tank.
  • Once the water is heated and rises toward the top of the tank.
  • The hot water leaves the tank and enters the home through the heat pipe.

Just like anything else, your water heater can and will experience issues from time to time. For the most part, however, your water heater should work without a lot of need for repairs.

When your water heater needs to be repaired it is important to know what to watch for so you can call a professional as soon as you notice there is a problem. The professional can get your water heater fixed hopefully before any expensive damages occur, but you can’t call a professional if you don’t know what to look for. 

Some common reasons a water heater needs to be repaired include: 

  • Rusted or discolored water
  • A water leak
  • Rotten smell to the water
  • Loud and unusual noises
  • There is no hot water at all

Common Water Heater Maintenance Services

Water Heater Maintenance and Tune-Up Expert

When you are a homeowner, it is important to take good care of your plumbing system. If you don’t take the extra time to ensure your plumbing system gets the maintenance it needs, you could end up spending more money than you bargained for just trying to keep up with all the repairs. 

The same goes for your water heater. It doesn’t need a lot of day-to-day attention, but periodic maintenance is required to ensure that your water heater always works safely and efficiently. If you take this extra time, you could extend the lifespan of your water heater as well as save money on repairs. 

Some common at-home maintenance tips are: 

  • Drain the sediment from the tank.
  • Check all the valves and wipe them down.
  • Make sure the water heater is clean and free of pooled water.
  • Listen for noises.

The best thing you can do for your water heater is to have a plumber perform maintenance on it at least once a year. A professional can see and reach places you cannot so this will ensure that the system is running properly all year round.
