By covering every detail, our technicians make sure your water heater is running at its best.

When to Schedule a Water Heater Inspection and Tune-Up

The best time to schedule a water heater inspection is once a year, ideally before the winter months when demand is highest.

You Should Schedule Service Sooner If:

  • You hear loud banging, popping, or rumbling from your tank.
  • Your water heater isn’t producing as much hot water as before.
  • It takes longer for water to heat up.
  • You notice rusty water or metallic-tasting water.
  • Your water heater hasn’t been serviced in more than a year.

If you’re noticing any of these issues, don’t wait—schedule a tune-up with Ray’s Heating & Air today.

Gas & Electric Water Heater Maintenance

Our technicians are trained to service all types of water heaters, including both gas and electric models.

  • Gas water heaters require extra attention to ensure burners, gas lines, and safety valves are working properly.
  • Electric water heaters rely on heating elements that need regular inspection to avoid uneven water temperatures.

No matter which type you have, our team will keep it running efficiently.

Water Heater Inspection and Tank Tune-Up

We provide tune-ups for traditional water heaters systems.

Water Heater Tanks – Annual flushing is critical for tank models, as sediment buildup can damage the tank, reduce efficiency, and lead to leaks.

How a Water Heater Inspection Can Save You Money

Some homeowners skip water heater maintenance to save money, but in reality, tune-ups are one of the most cost-effective services you can schedule.

  • Lower energy bills – Sediment buildup makes your water heater work harder, costing more each month.
  • Prevent emergency repairs – Catching small issues early avoids expensive breakdowns.
  • Delay replacement – Extending the life of your current water heater saves you from buying a new one sooner.

With regular tune-ups, your water heater pays you back in reliability and savings.
