Water Heater Maintenance in New Haven: what is different here
On New Haven city water, sediment builds slowly, so maintenance here centers on safety: testing relief valves, checking venting in old chimneys and inspecting gas connections. For owners of multi-family houses, servicing all units in one visit keeps things simple.

New Haven questions
Test the relief valve yearly, look for rust or moisture around the base, and watch for soot or a lazy flame on gas units, which can point to venting issues. In older New Haven homes, have the vent checked during a yearly service. We cover all of these.
Tank flush and inspection usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, and anode rod check or replacement takes about 1 hour. New Haven is about 40 minutes from our shop, so the drive adds little to your visit. We confirm the time with you when you book.
Most manufacturers call for descaling once a year. Homes on hard well water may need it every six months. Signs that a descale is overdue include lower water temperature, reduced flow and error codes. Service valves on the unit make descaling faster and easier.
