Serving Rittenhouse, Old City, Society Hill, and Bella Vista, Center City Plumbing Experts helps homeowners prepare their water heaters for winter. Hot water demand spikes during colder months, revealing weaknesses in older or poorly maintained systems. Taking time now to inspect, clean, and evaluate your water heater can prevent costly mid-winter breakdowns.
Signs of a failing water heater include rumbling noises, inconsistent temperatures, rusty water, low pressure, or visible corrosion around the tank. Many homeowners overlook annual maintenance such as flushing the tank to remove sediment, inspecting the anode rod, and checking for leaks in supply lines. These steps dramatically improve system efficiency and longevity.
The U.S. Department of Energy provides useful guidelines for water heater maintenance and energy savings (https://www.energy.gov). Following these recommendations helps reduce utility bills and extend equipment lifespan.
