Did you believe that you should be performing repair on your water heater? I actually didn’t believe that until a few weeks ago, when my water furnace broke down and I had to contact a local plumber to repair it, however during the conversation, he asked myself and others what the issue was, and I explained that I have no warm water in my home; He then proceeded to ask about the last time I inspected my warm water heater, and I told him never.
He asked if I have ever performed any repair on the heater, to which I answered no, then i actually didn’t believe that warm water oil furnaces needed repair.
It’s one of the unit in my home that I have regularly left alone, and I have never had an issue with one until now, however well, the plumber was kind enough to explain to myself and others what kind of repair the water furnace needs, which includes flushing the water furnace at least once per year, however this prevents any sediments from building up inside the heater. In addition, he recommended that I check the anode rod plus the temperature release valve yearly. To be honest, I didn’t believe what these were, so I had him teach myself and others how to do it, then lastly, the plumber recommended that I keep the temperature on the furnace to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, which it was already set on, and anyway, after the plumber fixed the water furnace and provided myself and others repair tips, I promised him that I would get my water furnace ran tests on at least once per year. After all, getting the component ran tests on will certainly extend the life of the water heater.
