What We Found
The homeowner’s tank-style water heater was more than eight years old and showing signs of normal wear. While it was still operating, the age of the system made performance checks and cleaning especially important. The heater was functional, but the homeowner wanted to plan ahead to avoid future interruptions or emergency replacements.
The Solution
Our technician performed a complete water heater maintenance service, including flushing the tank, inspecting electrical components, checking heating elements, verifying temperature settings, and ensuring safe operation. After reviewing the unit’s age and condition, the homeowner was given several replacement options and chose to move forward with a new 50-gallon electric water heater installation at a later date.
