Electric Water Heaters
A electric water heater is something that is easy to ignore—until suddenly you’re taking cold showers. And by then it’s probably too late. That’s why it’s important to schedule regular water heater maintenance check-ups with us. It will work better, use less energy and last longer.
Water Heater Maintenance. Water heaters often build up sediment that damages the tank. To remove these sediments, you may want to consider draining your tank.
Water Heater Leaks. If the water heater liner corrodes, the unit can begin leaking. If the drain pan under the water heater is old or incorrectly installed, you may find your home experiences water damage to floors, ceilings or walls, depending on the water heater location. If you believe you have a water heater leak, call Nairobi Plumbing Company immediately. We offer 24/7 emergency service for water heater repair and replacement.
Electric Water Heater Insulation. You can probably install an insulating pre-cut jacket or blanket on your electric water heater tank yourself. Read and follow the directions carefully. Leave the thermostat access panel(s) uncovered. Don’t set the thermostat above 130ºF on electric water heater with an insulating jacket or blanket—the wiring may overheat.
Professional Check-up. A service professional should conduct a thorough inspection of your water heater at least once a year. Our home plumbing experts will check the pressure relief valve, drain your tank to remove any sediment (if recommended), inspect the tank and connections for rust, wear or corrosion, replace worn anode rods, and more.
