FAQs
How can I make my water heater last longer?
Follow these tips to make your water heater last longer:
- Schedule annual inspections, flush the tank to remove sediment, and inspect for leaks or rust.
- Reduce the default setting to 120°F (49°C) to prevent overheating and unnecessary wear on parts.
- Use an insulating blanket to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
- Test the pressure relief valve to ensure it’s working correctly and discharging water properly.
- Check the anode rod and replace it if it’s severely corroded.
- Fixing minor problems early helps prevent major damage later.
What’s the number one mistake homeowners make with water heaters?
The biggest mistake homeowners make with water heaters is neglecting regular maintenance. Failure to flush the tank annually leads to sediment buildup, reducing efficiency and damaging the heater. Ignoring signs of leaks, corrosion, or faulty valves can result in major damage or even premature failure. By prioritizing maintenance and promptly addressing issues, homeowners can prevent costly repairs or early replacement of their water heaters.

Sudden increases in energy usage may indicate an inefficient water heater. If you notice any of these signs, it’s wise to call a professional to assess and repair your water heater promptly, preventing further damage and ensuring it functions properly.

Robertson Electric was quick to reply to my call for help when my water heater was malfunctioning. They actually acquired a new one for me and showed up that very afternoon when they were extremely busy. The repairman was so competent and quickly addressed the problem, saving me a couple of thousand dollars even after they had the new water heater on the truck. In other words, they came to my rescue and I will continue to use them whenever I can.

The pressure switch on my water tank failed one afternoon, spraying water everywhere! I got everything shut off and called Robertson Electric. The two gentlemen showed up on time, were professional, knowledgeable, polite and took the time to answer my questions. They got the switch repaired quickly and efficiently and I trust their work. As a repeat customer (they previously installed our central air system a few years ago - quite a task!) Robertson Electric is my "Go-To" for household repairs. I highly recommend them for any problems you may encounter.
