How To Maintain Hot Water Systems
Introduction Hot water systems are one of the most important elements in our home and many homeowners usually forget the hot water system is used daily and would see many amounts of wear and tear. Just like other appliances in home, hot water systems need regular inspection and cleaned by a professional and licensed plumber on a yearly or quarterly basis. To maintain your hot water system here are some key points in upcoming slides, so that it stands up to the test in the months and yearly ahead.
Check The Boiler’s Chimney & Vent First, check all the parts of your boiler that are more vulnerable to damage deterioration with time. The vent and chimneys are prime candidates, pay particular attention to the connection between the vent and boiler unit. Do a physical check for any holes or broken connection along the chimney that may cause leaks.
Drain the Water Heater Regularly It is recommended that all hot water heaters should be drained at least every six months. This is a very important aspect of water tank maintenance to the longevity of a water heater. Flushing out the boiler and venting the radiators is also essential maintenance for fall and winter months. This will help water heaters to increase in efficiency.
Examine Your Boiler’s Heat Exchanger If you find a leak in your boiler, it's a good chance the problem may happen in the heat exchanger. Examine the heat exchanger as often as you can, check the signs of possible leaks. If you see little amounts of water around the heater during and after using the boiler, it might be due to a leak. Continuing the use of a boiler with the leaking heat exchanger may lead to the severe damage.
Check The Anode Rod The anode rod is the water heater’s defence mechanism against rust and corrosion. It's always a good idea to check the condition of the anode rod every year.
Get The Help From Professional Technician If you want a trouble free hot water system, it is highly recommended to check it regularly by qualified and professional. Boiler systems are a big investment. They should last many years when properly looked after.
Conclusion While the above steps are basic to someone who knows their way around heating systems, don’t attempt maintenance unless you know what you are doing. By completing regular examinations of hot water heaters will reduce the incidence of breakdowns.
