Maintenance
Because preventative maintenance is less expensive than repairs, we recommend not waiting until your water heater breaks. Heaters on average go up in price year over year. To avoid costly repairs or replacement, every water heater should be inspected and given maintenance on a yearly basis. Replacing the Anode Rod every 3 years can massively extend its life well past the manufacturer’s warranty. Flushing out your tank can get rid of sediment sitting at the bottom, and can even restore some efficiency, lowering your monthly gas bill.

Point of Use Water Heater
Point of Use Water heaters can prevent you from getting the long wait for H2O after turning on the faucet. Although it may appear obvious, the amount of time you have to wait is influenced on the distance between the faucet and the heater. The further away the longer it takes, the more water you have to use. A typical method for eliminating the delay is to install a point-of-use hot water heater. A point-of-use tank can enhance the comfort, convenience, and efficiency of your home or business.

Expansion Tank
Expansion tanks are very important to the health of any water heater. They are essentially a steel tank with a rubber balloon inside. When water is heated it expands and takes up more space. Back in the olden days, expansion tanks were not required. Water would heat up in your tank and the extra pressure would push back into the city system. Most cities now have one way check valves on all of their water meters. An expansion tank absorbs that extra expanded water and holds onto it until someone opens a faucet and relieves the pressure. Without an expansion tank, your heater can experience high water pressure every time it has to heat water back up to temperature.
Benefits of an Expansion Tank
- Reduces Mechanical Pressure
- Increases Life Span of Tank
- Can Help Cut Down Water Hammer
Rocket came to give me a second opinion, said i didnt need a new furnace and when i do they would charge me alot less. They charged me $49 and went on their way. They are a father and son family run business that seem very honest and trustworthy.
I recommend them highly.
