Do You Really Need Maintenance on Your Water Heater?
Homeowners and business owners alike are always looking for ways to be savvy and save money. It can be tempting to skip costs that don’t seem to have an immediate impact and maintenance on major appliances is often on that list. At The Stanley Louis Company, we’d like to make a case that skipping maintenance on your water heater can actually cost you money in the long run.
Keep efficiency as high as possible
When we perform maintenance on your water heater, we can help to ensure it’s as efficient as possible. Sure, your heater may survive for years without maintenance. But if it’s using twice as much energy year after year, is it really saving you money by not having us inspect it and fix any minor issues that are wrong? Part of saving money involves keeping utilities as low as possible, and maintenance on any appliances that use water is a great way to do that.
We can keep your unit working for much longer
You may skip the annual maintenance offered by The Stanley Louis Company but what if instead of lasting 20+ years, your water heater breaks down after just ten years? It’s great that you saved that money on maintenance, but how much is it going to cost you when you have to buy a new heater much earlier than you’d expected? We are committed to working hard to keep your residential or commercial water heater in working order as long as possible.
Take a look at what’s involved in regular maintenance
Many of our clients aren’t sure what maintenance entails. They assume that it’s not worth the cost because it’s something they can do on their own. The truth is that unless you’re trained to work with water heaters and have the latest tools to do so, you’re likely not up to the task.
The first thing we’ll do is visually inspect the unit. This is the one step that most homeowners could complete on their own, but would they know what to look for? Only major problems are likely to be obvious to the naked eye. Once we’ve taken a look to ensure everything is in good shape, we’ll complete tank flushes, will adjust your pilot light or gas as needed, will check your relief valve to ensure it’s working well, and will repair any leaks we find.
You only need maintenance once a year
At The Stanley Louis Company, we offer several different annual maintenance plans. We understand that a company or homeowner wouldn’t want to pay for maintenance if it meant a few every three months or even every six months. However, all it takes is one visit a year to ensure that you’re not wasting money by running an inefficient water heater, and to help your unit last as long as possible.
If you’re ready to get on board, call The Stanley Louis Company at 800-217-6527 to learn more about your many options. We look forward to adding you to our long list of happy customers.
