Home Maintenance Tip - Keeping Your Water Heater Fit

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.”

~Henry Ford

Home Maintenance Tip -

Keeping Your Water Heater Fit

Most people don't give much thought to their water
heater - they just turn on the faucet and expect hot water to come out. Water heaters are relatively maintenance free, and you can keep your water heater in peak operating condition just by performing two simple maintenance tasks every six months: test the pressure valve and then flush the tank.

If the pressure release valve is not operating properly, the tank can potentially over pressurize and explode. Flushing the tank prevents sediment build up, which can reduce your water heater's energy efficiency and clog your water lines. Consult your owner's manual or other maintenance guide for instructions on how to safely perform these maintenance tasks. You can also visit us at www.orhp.com and click on the QUICK FIX TIPS link in the Homeowner's Section of the site for more information.

 I always give my buyer's a home warranty as a closing gift.  Because I treat my clients like family, I know the value of keeping them protected. Old Republic does just that - and more. If something should happen, Old Republic is there to help. You can count on them to be dependable, timely friendly, and consistent. They take good care of my clients.
