At Lucky Air and Plumbing, we follow a detailed water heater service checklist that covers every key component. Here are the most important steps:

• Tank Flushing: Sediment builds up at the bottom of your water heater over time, reducing efficiency and causing wear. We flush the tank thoroughly to remove debris, helping your unit heat faster and last longer.

• Leak Inspection: We check all visible plumbing connections, joints, and the unit itself for signs of leaks. If necessary, we’ll reseal connections or recommend repairs before small drips turn into major water damage.

• Pressure Valve Check: The temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve is critical for safety. We ensure it’s working correctly and not allowing water to escape when it shouldn’t.

• Thermostat Testing: Using specialized tools, we test the upper and lower thermostats for accuracy and performance. If there’s a temperature imbalance, we diagnose and correct the issue.

• Component Evaluation: We assess the anode rod (in tank models), heating elements, and other internal parts to spot early corrosion, buildup, or wear.

Every visit ends with a full performance check and safety review to ensure your water heater is operating exactly as it should.

Preventative service isn’t just about avoiding cold showers—it’s one of the smartest ways to protect your home, budget, and plumbing system. Here’s what regular maintenance can do:

• Prevent Costly Repairs: Catching minor issues before they escalate can save you hundreds—or even thousands—on emergency calls.

• Boost Efficiency: A tuned-up water heater delivers hot water faster using less energy, which helps lower your utility bills.

• Conserve Water: Efficient heaters reduce warm-up time, so you waste less water waiting for the tap to heat.

• Extend Equipment Life: With annual care, your water heater can easily last 12–15 years or more, versus 8–10 years without maintenance.

Whether you’re using a gas, electric, or hybrid model, we tailor our service to suit your system’s exact needs.
