When you entrust the certified plumbing professionals at Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning for Professional Water Heater Maintenance and Tune-Up Services, you can expect your Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning inspector to evaluate the following:
Your Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning plumber will complete an overall inspection of your water heater to ensure there is no rusting or corroding or any imminent issues and repairs with regards to your unit.
Tank water heaters store water inside of them for fast access and on-demand usage. Because of this, sediment from minerals in the Vancouver, BC water supply can build up around the bottom of the tank. If you neglect to have your water heater tuned-up by professionals every year, this sediment can build up to the point where your water heater will not be able to provide hot water for very long periods of time, or at all, for that matter. This is why it is instrumental that you have Professional Water Heater Maintenance and Tune-Up Services performed by professionals at Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning at least once a year.
All water heater tanks have an anode rod which dissolves over time while protecting your water heater from rust and corrosion. During your water heater tune-up, your Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning plumber will inspect the anode rod to evaluate if it is in check or if it is in need of replacement. Without a properly functioning anode rod, your water heater will rust, corrode, and eventually fail prematurely.
Ashton’s highly skilled plumbers and HVAC technicians are some of the best in the business.

A standard maintenance visit typically includes flushing sediment from the tank, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, inspecting the anode rod, and checking connections for signs of leaks or corrosion. For gas units, the technician will also examine the burner and venting, while electric models get a check of the heating elements and thermostats. Together, these steps help protect performance, safety, and system lifespan.
Most water heaters should be professionally maintained once a year. Many homeowners find fall to be a convenient time, since it fits naturally with other seasonal home checks and prepares the system for the months when hot water use tends to climb. Homes with hard water may benefit from more frequent flushing. Schedule service with Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning to set up a maintenance plan that fits your household.
Flushing removes the sediment and mineral deposits that naturally collect at the bottom of the tank over time. When sediment builds up, it creates a barrier between the heat source and the water, forcing your system to work harder and reducing efficiency. It can also cause popping noises and premature wear. Regular flushing keeps your water heater running quietly and helps extend its lifespan.
An anode rod is a metal rod inside your tank that attracts corrosive elements in the water, protecting the tank’s lining from rust. Over time, the rod wears down and eventually stops doing its job, which leaves the tank vulnerable to corrosion and leaks. Checking and replacing it when needed is one of the simplest ways to extend your water heater’s lifespan. Contact Ashton Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning for professional service to have yours inspected.
Yes, a well-maintained water heater uses less energy to deliver the same amount of hot water. Removing sediment, confirming thermostat accuracy, and making sure burners or elements are working properly all improve efficiency. This becomes especially noticeable in the fall, when cooler incoming water means longer heating cycles and higher energy use from a system that isn’t operating at its best.
