The Importance of Regular Water Heater Maintenance
Many homeowners may not think about their water heater until it stops producing hot water. Preventive maintenance helps uncover hidden issues before they become expensive repairs or cause complete system failures.
Routine service can also help improve energy efficiency, lower monthly utility bills, extend the life of your water heater, reduce the risk of leaks, improve performance, maintain safe operation, and protect manufacturer warranties.
Annual maintenance is recommended for most residential water heaters.
Natural Gas Tank Water Heater Maintenance & Repair
Natural gas water heaters need routine inspections and maintenance to ensure they keep working safely and efficiently.
Our experienced team can inspect and clean burners, test the pilot light, thermostat, and ignition system, inspect the gas connection, ventilation, and exhaust, flush the tank, check for leaks, and evaluate the overall condition of the water heater.
We can also inspect your system if you’re experiencing issues, such as a lack of hot water, inconsistent temperatures, a pilot light that won’t stay lit, a burner that won’t ignite, gas valve problems, thermostat failures, water leaks, strange noises, or corrosion, and make the necessary repairs.
Propane Tank Water Heater Maintenance & Repair
Propane water heaters require specialized service to ensure safe fuel delivery and combustion.
Our technicians can clean burners, inspect the pilot assembly and venting, check the propane connection, test the combustion, flush the tank, calibrate the thermostat, and test safety controls.
Our team can also diagnose and fix ignition problems, burner issues, propane valve failures, water leaks, fluctuating temperatures, pressure relief valve problems, and pilot light failures.

Electric Tank Water Heater Maintenance & Repair
While electric water heaters contain fewer moving parts, they still require regular service to maintain efficiency and prevent premature failure.
We can inspect the heating element, anode rod, and electrical connections, test the thermostat, flush the tank, test the pressure relief valve, and inspect for leaks.
Our team can fix failing heating elements, faulty thermostats, tripped breakers, and wiring issues, as well as inspect and repair the system if you’re hearing strange sounds or experiencing fluctuating or insufficient temperatures.
All tank water heaters should have the tank flushed annually to remove sediment and hard water buildup.
Tankless Water Heater Maintenance & Repair
Tankless water heaters require specialized maintenance to prevent mineral buildup that can reduce efficiency and damage internal components.
Our technicians can clean the heat exchanger and water filter, inspect burners and vents, test gas pressure and electrical connections, and diagnose error codes. Just Water Heaters also offers annual descaling using a specialized transfer pump and biodegradable agent ($300 service). This is necessary for continued performance.
We can also help with ignition and sensor failures, control board problems, water temperature fluctuations, reduced water flow, and fan and venting issues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General Questions Asked by Customers
Why am I running out of hot water so quickly?
Possible causes include sediment buildup, a failing heating element, thermostat issues, burner problems, or an undersized water heater. A professional inspection can determine the cause.
Why does my hot water smell like rotten eggs?
A sulfur or rotten egg odor is often caused by bacteria reacting with the anode rod inside the tank. Replacing the anode rod or disinfecting the tank can often eliminate the odor.
