The Importance of Maintenance

Manufacturers recommend having your water heater flushed annually. 

Flushing your water heater is similar to getting your car’s oil changed—it helps maintain efficient performance and prolongs the unit’s lifespan by removing calcium and sediment buildup.

Besides flushing the unit, Oro Pro Plumbing Inc.’s water heater maintenance service includes complementary measures such as inspecting the anode rod (which helps prevent corrosion of the tank) and checking for proper ventilation.

Of course, any water heater eventually needs to be replaced. Signs that you’re due for a water heater replacement include reduced performance and signs of rust, calcium buildup, and/or corrosion. 

Our San Mateo water heater plumbers can replace your unit quickly and correctly. We observe all plumbing code requirements, including safety measures like double-strapping the tank to the wall. 

For storage tank water heaters, our owner’s favorite brands include State, Bradford White®, and Rheem®.

What Happens If You Don't Flush Your Water Heater?

If water heaters are not flushed regularly, sediment may build up inside the water heater, inside pipes or even come out of faucets. 

Additionally, water pressure may lower, pipes may burst and water quality may decrease if your water heater is not properly maintained. 

Maintaining your water heater is a necessary part of helping it last as long as possible.

Benefits of Going Tankless for Your Water Heater

These days, many homeowners are making the switch from storage tank water heaters to tankless models, which use less energy, take up less space, and provide endless hot water.

While tankless water heaters aren’t right for every household, in the right scenario, they can be a great investment.

Here are some additional benefits:

• Energy savings: Tankless water heaters only heat water when it's needed, unlike traditional tank water heaters that constantly heat and reheat water, resulting in wasted energy and higher bills.
• Space-saving: Tankless water heaters are smaller and more compact than traditional tank water heaters, freeing up valuable space in your home.
• Longer lifespan: Tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years, compared to the average 10-15 year lifespan of traditional tank water heaters.
• Environmentally friendly: Tankless water heaters produce less carbon emissions and are more energy-efficient, making them a more eco-friendly option for your home.

Our Redwood City plumbers can help you choose the best tankless water heater for your home and provide professional installation services. 

For tankless water heaters, the owner’s favorite brands include Rinnai®, Noritz®, and Takagi.
