Hot Water on Demand: Water Heater Maintenance Tips for Cold Seattle Winters

As temperatures drop and winter storms roll through Seattle, a reliable hot water supply becomes essential for homeowners.
Parker Services, a trusted plumbing company serving the Seattle area, urges residents to check their water heaters before unexpected breakdowns leave them without hot water in the coldest months of the year.

Neglecting water heater maintenance can lead to inefficiencies, higher energy bills, and sudden failures-issues that can be costly and inconvenient during winter. To help homeowners avoid disruptions, Parker Services recommends a few essential maintenance steps:

*
Inspect for Leaks and Corrosion - Small leaks and rust can indicate a failing tank. Catching these early can prevent major issues.

*
Flush the Tank - Sediment buildup reduces efficiency and can shorten the lifespan of a water heater. Annual flushing helps maintain performance.

*
Check the Anode Rod - This component prevents the tank from rusting. Replacing it as needed can extend the unit's longevity.

*
Test the Pressure Relief Valve - Ensuring proper function prevents excessive pressure buildup, which could lead to system failure.

*
Monitor Water Temperature Settings - Keeping the thermostat at 120 degrees F balances comfort, energy efficiency, and safety.

Seattle's cold and damp winter conditions place additional strain on plumbing systems, making proactive maintenance even more crucial.
