Your water heater works hard behind the scenes, supplying hot water for showers, dishes, laundry, and more. But without proper care, even the best systems wear down faster, cost more to run, and eventually fail when you least expect it. That’s why Done! Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric offers professional water heater maintenance for homeowners across Aurora and the Greater Denver Metro. One visit a year is all it takes to protect your comfort—and avoid expensive breakdowns.
Why Water Heater Maintenance Matters
Every water heater—whether it’s gas, electric, or tankless—needs regular maintenance to function efficiently. Over time, sediment builds up in the tank, reducing heating performance and putting strain on internal components. This can lead to higher energy bills, inconsistent hot water, or complete system failure.
Our licensed plumbers perform preventative maintenance on hot water heaters to keep things running smoothly. We flush out sediment, check the anode rod, test thermostats, inspect valves, and ensure your system is safe, clean, and operating at peak performance.
Skipping maintenance? You could be shaving years off your unit’s lifespan.
How Often Should Water Heaters Be Serviced?
Most homeowners benefit from annual water heater maintenance, especially in Colorado’s hard water conditions. Homes in Aurora and surrounding areas often experience heavy mineral buildup, making maintenance even more critical.
If your hot water is slow to heat, runs out quickly, or your tank is making strange noises—it’s time to schedule service. Routine checkups help you avoid surprise failures and keep your household running comfortably year-round.
Maintenance for Gas and Electric Water Heaters
Gas and electric systems each have unique needs. Our team knows how to safely handle both:
- Gas water heater maintenance includes checking the burner assembly, thermocouple, gas lines, and venting systems.
- Electric water heater maintenance involves testing heating elements, thermostats, and ensuring electrical connections are secure and efficient.
Whether your home runs on gas or electricity, we’ve got the tools and know-how to get it done.
Yes, Tankless Water Heaters Need Maintenance Too
Tankless systems are efficient and space-saving—but they’re not maintenance-free. Without service, internal scaling can reduce performance or trigger error codes. At Done!, we perform tankless water heater maintenance to keep your on-demand system working like new. That includes descaling, flushing, filter checks, and system diagnostics.
If you’re considering an upgrade, we also offer full tankless water heater installation services, customized to fit your household’s needs.
What Happens During a Professional Tune-Up?
Every Done! maintenance visit is thorough and customized to your system. You can expect us to:
- Flush and clean the tank or internal lines
- Inspect and test safety components
- Check for leaks, rust, and pressure issues
- Confirm proper gas or electrical function
- Evaluate performance and efficiency
- Offer honest guidance if repairs or replacement are needed
It’s more than a flush—it’s full peace of mind.
