Maintenance Tips

How to Keep Your New Water Heater Running at Its Best

Inconsistent Hot Water:

If you notice temperature changes soon after installation, it could indicate thermostat settings or mineral buildup. Regular maintenance helps keep performance steady.

Unusual Noises:

New water heaters should run quietly. If you hear popping or rumbling sounds, it may be due to sediment buildup or improper pressure—flushing once a year helps prevent this.

Leaking Around the Tank:

Keep an eye out for moisture near fittings or the base. Even minor leaks can grow over time; tightening connections or professional inspection ensures lasting reliability.

Rusty or Discolored Water:

If your water develops a rusty tint, it may be time to replace the anode rod. Routine checks protect your new tank from corrosion and maintain clean, clear water.

Fluctuating Water Temperature:

Sudden changes in temperature can signal thermostat calibration issues or debris inside heating components. Quick adjustments or a tune-up can fix the problem easily.

Rising Energy Bills:

Unexpected spikes in utility costs often mean the system is working harder than necessary. Annual maintenance helps maintain energy efficiency and saves money long-term.

HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It refers to the systems used in buildings and homes to regulate indoor temperature, humidity, and air quality to ensure comfort and healthy living conditions.

Common signs include unusual noises, weak airflow, thermostat issues, bad odors, and an unexpected increase in energy bills. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional to inspect your system.

Signs that your heat pump may need repairs include decreased heating or cooling performance, strange noises, frequent on-and-off cycling, increased energy costs, and ice buildup on the unit. If you observe any of these issues, it’s advisable to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.

The lifespan of an HVAC system varies based on its type, brand, and usage, but on average, you can expect a well-maintained system to last about 15-20 years. Regular maintenance can significantly extend your system’s life.

Yes, there are several maintenance tasks you can perform yourself, such as changing or cleaning air filters every 1-3 months, checking and clearing the AC condensate drain line, and keeping the HVAC unit free of debris. However, more technical tasks should be left to professionals.

SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. It measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output divided by the total electric energy input during the same period. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.

This can happen for several reasons including restricted airflow, low refrigerant levels, or issues with the thermostat. If your system is freezing up, it’s advisable to turn it off and call a professional for a thorough inspection.

Modern heat pumps are engineered to perform effectively in cold climates. However, in extremely cold conditions, additional heating may be needed. Many heat pumps include built-in backup heating systems to handle such situations.
