Water Heaters Boulder

Boulder Plumbing and Water Heater Maintenance

Water Heater Repair Water heaters are some of the most common household plumbing equipment. They are installed in nearly every household. They are used on a daily basis and depending on the number of people in a household; their usage can be intense. Like any other plumbing equipment, water heaters deteriorate with age and use. They experience leakages, blockages and sometimes do not produce heat. They also experience failures and may surprise you with a cold shower or a flooded house. Leakages occur when a water heater develops any kind of perforations. Leakages also occur when some parts of the heater are not adequately tightened. Blockages of water occur if there are sediments in the water heater that block water movement or release. Most blockages, however, occur due to calcium buildup, especially in areas that have hard water. Water heaters need to be flushed at least annually. Draining the water heater improves their functionality. Flushing also ensures a cleaner system and cleaner water, efficient water dispensing, as well as lower energy consumption. When the water heater is ultimately damaged, you may need to replace it all together. However, you can save a coin in your budget by practicing a maintenance routine for your heaters. The following are some of the reasons why water heater repair and maintenance are important:

Water Heater Safety

The most important factor in a home and household equipment is its safety. A poorly maintained, or rather not maintained equipment is not safe for use. Water heaters need regular maintenance to check on its parts that may compromise the safety of its use. Water heaters that have faulty valves can cause burns and scalds.

Increased Efficiency

A water heater that is not checked regularly is not efficient. The sediment build-up slows the water from refilling and the water volume is poor. You may not have enough hot water for use. If you are using an electric water heater, the sediment can destroy the lower heating element. In gas water heaters, the mineral deposits create hot spots that damage the tank. These damages cause inefficiency and unnecessary high-energy consumption.

Extends Heater Lifespan

A regular heater maintenance increases the lifespan of your water heater. In the instances where there is a calcium water buildup, the absence of maintainers and clean-up could allow the calcium to build up into a rock. When the sediments solidify, you will need to replace the heater altogether. Therefore, it is important to keep at least an annual or biannual maintenance routine for your water heater repair.

Good Water Volume

Sediment and mineral build up in your water heater reduces the volume of water the tank. A regular maintenance ensures that the tank is clean of all sediments and build up, therefore, ensuring your volume is always as high as it should be. It might look like an additional item on your budget, but water heater maintenance cost is a worthy expenditure. It is safer for your household to have its water heaters maintained regularly. The efficiency that comes with this practice will save you money in the end.

What are signs of Water Heater Repair Issues?

There are a number of signs that indicate your water heater isn’t working as normal. Of course, the most common sign is that it doesn’t provide sufficient hot water. This can be caused by a problem with the thermostat, thinning of the water heater insulation inside or sediment build–up on the base of the water heater that will block the transfer of heat. Does your water heater turn on when it is supposed to? This is another sign.

Rich came out to install my water heater. He was awesome. He was knowledgeable, helpful, professional, affordable, and prompt. He communicated well, worked quickly, and even when we ran into some issues, he handled them like a total pro. He got my water heater up to code, pulled permits, grabbed the water heater from the supplier, installed it and cleaned up all in half a day! I would 100% recommend them.

Rich has been to our house several times and it's always a great experience. He is knowledgeable, diligent, and hard-working. He does not oversell services. He is friendly and a pleasure to have in the house, and most importantly he gets things fixed quickly.

Replaced water heater, toilet in master bath, and water pressure valve. They arrived on time called before coming that they were o their way. Cleaned everything and hauled trash away. I was very pleased.

I recently purchased a new home and had a list of items that needed to be addressed including a new water regulator, gas line work, and setting of a toilet. Rich showed up on time and walked through the items with me. I immediately felt comfortable with his knowledge and also his recommendations/comments. Rich also gave me honest advice on the best approach for the work and what would be best for me and my family. I was quoted the price and he got to work on the items. His quality of work, efficiency, and professionalism was top notch and he finished everything beyond my expectations. I will no doubt use Tyco as my plumber, and would give them more than five stars if I could.

I’ve had nothing but superb experiences with Rich. He has gone above and beyond to now help me process two warranty repairs and only charged me for labor, despite the additional hours of work he put in to get the faulty parts covered. He previously corrected the poor work of another plumber (from a different company), and this time worked around my tricky schedule and that of my renters to complete the repairs in a very timely manner. He was nothing but gracious and professional despite some warranty hiccups, and even apologized for the hassle (which was in no way attributed to him). I use Tyco exclusively now and recommend them to anyone.

I've been using Tyco Plumbing for about 4 years now and have only good things to say about them. From Tyler the owner to every plumber he has sent to do work, everything is always top notch. This week Josh came out to flush and service my tankless water heater. He called to let me know he was on the way. He was professional, knowledgeable and personable. Explained everything he was going to do and then went over everything he did, and for the quoted price. Never any surprises with Tyco plumbing, just top shelf work.
