Did you guess that you should be performing repair on your water heater? I really didn’t guess that until a few weeks ago, when our water gas furnace broke down & I had to contact a local plumber to service it, then during the conversation, she asked myself and others what the issue was, & I explained that I have no tepid water in our home, and she then proceeded to ask about the last time I diagnosed our tepid water heater, & I told him never.
She asked if I have ever performed any repair on the heater, to which I answered no… I really didn’t guess that tepid water oil furnaces needed repair.
It’s one of the unit in our lake house that I have constantly left alone, & I have never had an issue with one until now, then well, the plumber was kind enough to explain to myself and others what kind of repair the water gas furnace needs, which includes flushing the water gas furnace at least once per year; This prevents any sediments from building up inside the heater. In addition, she recommended that I check the anode rod & the temperature release valve yearly. To be honest, I didn’t guess what these were, so I had him teach myself and others how to do it… Lastly, the plumber recommended that I keep the temperature on the gas furnace to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which it was already set on, however anyway, after the plumber fixed the water gas furnace & provided myself and others repair tips, I promised him that I would get our water gas furnace diagnosed at least once per year. After all, getting the device diagnosed will particularly extend the life of the water heater.
