How often should I have my water heater professionally maintained or flushed?

It is generally recommended to have your water heater professionally flushed once a year. Regular maintenance removes sediment buildup, which helps prevent odd rumbling noises and ensures the unit continues to heat water as efficiently as possible.

Does corrosion mean I need a new water heater?

Possibly. The answer depends on where the corrosion is located. If you have: Exterior Corrosion – Is the corrosion on the exterior fittings, pipes, or valves (like where a fitting meets the pipe)? If so, this often requires a minor repair. We can typically replace the corroded part. Interior Corrosion – Is your hot water rusty/discolored? Is your hot water slow to heat up? If so, you may have corrosion inside the water heater tank. In this case, you may need to replace your water heater. Our experts can inspect your unit to determine the exact source of the corrosion. We then advise you on the safest and most cost-effective water heater service.

What are the signs that I need a new water heater?

You can usually tell your water heater is going to fail soon because of: System Age – If your unit has been in service for over 10 years, it is likely nearing the end of its functional lifespan. Visible Corrosion – Seeing rust on the tank or connection points often indicates that the metal is thinning and a leak is imminent. Discolored Water – If your hot water looks rusty or cloudy, it usually means the interior lining of the tank is deteriorating.

What are the benefits of upgrading to a tankless water heater?

Upgrading to a tankless system offers several advantages, including an endless supply of hot water on demand. These units are much more compact than traditional tanks, freeing up valuable floor space in your home. Additionally, because they only heat water as you need it, they can significantly lower your monthly energy bills.

Do you offer emergency water heater services after hours or on weekends?

Yes! Aire Serv of West Chester provides 24/7 emergency service to handle sudden failures at any time. You can expect guaranteed upfront pricing with no hidden fees, even if the repair is needed late on a Saturday night or during a holiday weekend.
