FAQs
Why is an annual water-heater tune-up important for Mulberry homeowners?
Hard water, mineral content, and Florida’s humid climate can cause sediment build-up and corrosion inside your tank. An annual tune-up removes sediment, checks safety devices, and verifies thermostat accuracy, preventing leaks, extending the life of the appliance, and keeping it running safely and efficiently.
What services are included in your professional water-heater tune-up?
Our licensed plumbers flush and drain the tank, inspect the anode rod, test the T&P (temperature and pressure) relief valve, calibrate the thermostat, check gas or electrical connections, examine expansion tanks, and look for signs of rust, leaks, or venting problems. We finish with a written report and recommendations, so you know the exact health of your unit.
How long does a typical tune-up take?
Most standard tanked units in Mulberry take 45–60 minutes to service. Tankless systems may take up to 90 minutes because they require descaling. If we discover worn parts that need replacement, we carry most components on the truck and can usually complete repairs the same visit.
Can a tune-up lower my energy bills?
Yes. Flushing sediment lets the heating element or gas burner transfer heat more efficiently, so the water reaches set temperature faster. A clean, properly calibrated heater can use 10–15 % less energy, which you’ll notice on both electric and natural-gas utility bills.
Will a professional tune-up protect my warranty?
Almost every manufacturer’s warranty requires proof of regular maintenance to stay in force. Our service documentation meets manufacturer requirements and provides a paper trail if you ever need a warranty claim, ensuring you don’t pay out of pocket for covered failures.
What signs indicate it’s time to schedule a tune-up now?
If you hear rumbling or popping noises, wait longer for hot water, notice rusty water, see water around the base of the heater, or your energy bills have spiked, book a tune-up immediately. Even if none of these symptoms are present, schedule service annually to avoid unexpected breakdowns.
