Water Heater Maintenance

Most water heater problems come from a need for proper maintenance. While not all problems can be avoided, they can be identified before something catastrophic happens. Take the thermostat, for example. A stuck thermostat can cause your heating element or gas control valve to be stuck in an open position. This is not only a huge waste of energy, but it also makes you much more likely to scald yourself on hot tap water. In addition, a stuck thermostat with a faulty temperature and pressure release valve can cause the water heater to explode! The best fix for a malfunctioning thermostat is a simple replacement that usually costs under $50 plus labor.
