Extend Your Water Heater's Life with Professional Maintenance

Your water heater is one of those appliances you do not think much about until it starts acting up. Every shower, every load of laundry, every time you wash dishes, you are depending on it. Without care, it can wear down faster than you expect.

That is why Green’s Appliance, Heating & Cooling offers water heater maintenance here in Des Moines. We have been doing this work since 1958, so we know the kinds of problems local homeowners run into and what it takes to keep these units running longer.

The Hidden Costs of Neglecting Your Water Heater

Plenty of people leave their water heater alone until it stops working. The problem is that issues build up quietly inside the tank. Every time the water heats, minerals settle at the bottom. Eventually that sediment hardens, and it is like your heater is working with a blanket wrapped around the burner.

What happens when it is ignored:

• The system uses more energy to heat water, so your bills go up.
• Strange popping or rumbling noises start as the sediment shifts around.
• The tank struggles to keep water hot and consistent.
• Parts wear down faster, cutting years off the life of the unit.

Most folks only call when they lose hot water altogether. By then, the damage may already be too far along.

Benefits of Professional Water Heater Maintenance

Getting a tune-up once a year does more than check a box. It keeps the system dependable and saves money in the long run.

• Longer life. Flushing out the sediment and replacing small parts means the unit can serve you for more years.
• Warranty protection. Some manufacturers require proof of maintenance if you ever need to file a claim.
• Better performance. A clean heater works faster, heats more evenly, and gives you steadier hot water.
• Fewer breakdowns. Regular checks catch small leaks, failing valves, or weak elements before they fail completely.
• A good fit for Des Moines water. Our local water supply has more minerals, which speeds up scale buildup. Staying on top of maintenance is extra important here.

On top of that, you avoid the stress of cold showers or losing hot water during busy times of the year.

Our Water Heater Maintenance Process

When you call Green’s, we follow a clear routine that covers the whole system.

• Full inspection. We check the thermostat, heating elements, anode rod, relief valve, and all connections. If something looks worn, we let you know.
• Tank flush. Sediment is drained and flushed from the bottom so it cannot keep piling up.
• Performance test. We run the unit to be sure it is heating properly and delivering hot water at the right temperature.

It usually takes about an hour, and you end up with a heater that is in better shape and ready to go.
