Like most appliances, it’s common to rely on water heaters without fully understanding how they work. A home inspection serves as the first real checkup after a water heater is installed.

Proper water heater maintenance is important to ensure your water heater is working around-the-clock and providing hot water.

Here are 3 good reasons why you should schedule a yearly professional water heater inspection.

1. Prevent Major Problems – The chance of a malfunction increases the longer the water heater goes without an inspection.

2. Lower Water Heating Costs – a water heating system may account for up to 18 percent of homes energy useage.

3. Protect Your Family – An improperly vented water heater is the most common cause of carbon monoxide. A deadly gas that can enter your home.
