As a homeowner in Minnesota, ensuring your water heater is running smoothly is key to staying comfortable, especially with our cold winters. At BWS, we believe in providing fast, courteous, and respectful service to keep your home running efficiently. To help you avoid costly repairs, here are the top 5 signs your water heater needs a flush:
Rusty Water
If you notice rusty or discolored water coming from your tap, it could be due to sediment build-up in your water heater. This sediment can cause corrosion and affect the quality of your water, signaling it’s time for a flush.
Strange Noises
Hearing rumbling, popping, or banging sounds from your water heater? That’s sediment settling at the bottom of the tank. As the heater works harder to heat water, these sounds become more frequent—a sure sign it’s time for maintenance.
Fluctuating Water Temperatures
If your hot water supply is inconsistent or you’re experiencing sudden temperature drops, sediment may be blocking the heating elements, reducing the efficiency of your water heater. A flush can restore the proper flow of heat and maintain consistent temperatures.
Higher Energy Bills
Sediment build-up forces your water heater to use more energy, which can result in higher utility bills. If you’ve noticed a spike in your energy costs, it might be time to flush out your water heater and get back to an efficient system.
Reduced Hot Water Supply
If your showers are suddenly cut short due to a lack of hot water, sediment may have reduced the tank’s capacity. A flush can help clear out those deposits, giving you back the full use of your water heater.
At BWS, we’re not just here to fix problems; we’re here to provide THE BETTER WAY SERVICE EXPERIENCE with every visit. We understand the importance of reliability and efficiency, especially regarding something as essential as your hot water.
Whether it’s a simple flush or a more complex issue, we treat your home as if it were our own—quickly, cleanly, and with the respect you deserve. Schedule your water heater flush today, and experience the BWS difference!
