Old Lyme questions
A fall visit to drain the tank and shut off fuel and water, and a spring visit to refill, relight and test the relief valve. This lowers the risk of winter freezing, corrosion and leaks while the cottage is empty. We can schedule both visits for you.
Tank flush and inspection usually takes about 1 to 2 hours, and anode rod check or replacement takes about 1 hour. Old Lyme is about 20 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.
