Did you know that you should be performing maintenance on your water heater? I absolutely didn’t know that until a few weeks ago, when my water gas furnace broke down as well as I had to contact a local plumber to service it.
During the conversation, he asked me what the issue was, as well as I explained that I have no sizzling water in my home, however he then proceeded to ask about the last time I checked my sizzling water heater, as well as I told him never.
He asked if I have ever performed any maintenance on the heater, to which I answered no, however i absolutely didn’t know that sizzling water heating systems needed maintenance. It’s 1 of the equipment in my house that I have consistently left alone, as well as I have never had an issue with 1 until now… Well, the plumber was kind enough to explain to me what kind of maintenance the water gas furnace needs, which includes flushing the water gas furnace at least once per year, then this prevents any sediments from building up inside the heater. In addition, he commanded that I check the anode rod as well as the temperature release valve yearly. To be honest, I didn’t know what these were, so I had him teach me how to do it, however lastly, the plumber commanded 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 as well as gave me maintenance tips, I promised him that I would get my water gas furnace serviced at least once per year. After all, getting the unit serviced will really extend the life of the water heater.
