Reliable, Personalized Water Heater Service
Limescale is a key reason why our water heater company recommends annual water heater service. Minerals in your water build up as scale. That scale decreases efficiency, increases operating costs, and shortens a water heater’s lifespan. By flushing the tank, we’ll regularly remove all the limescale in addition to any sediment accumulation.
Protecting Your Water Heater
Tank water heaters also have sacrificial anode rods. These rods slow the rate of corrosion and limescale accumulation through electrolysis. Anode rods eventually fail, so, it’s important to check them each year and replace them as needed. Scale is an even bigger concern for tankless water heaters. While there’s no tank to build up in, it accumulates on the heat exchanger, on valves, and in tubes and pipes. For on-demand systems, routine descaling is necessary. This is where a plumber uses a pump to cycle a cleaning solution through the water heater.
