Water Heaters

An outdated water heater can cause you to go without an adequate supply of hot water for no reason.

Reducing your thermostat setting can save you money on your electric bill, and if your thermostat isn’t operating properly you could be wasting money and producing less hot water.

Inspecting the gas line from water heater shut off valve to burner can prevent previously undetected gas leaks.

Leaks can indicate serious problems, and
when found early enough appropriate action can
be taken.
