- Clean the intake filters
- Test the power supply

A water heater tune-up or repair may require that the tank have several gallons drained to get rid of the sediment in the bottom of the tank. If there is sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank, the water won’t heat as efficiently. Partly draining the tank removes some of the sediment. We may also recommend insulation around the tank if it is older and doesn’t need to be replaced. This step will also improve the efficiency of the way the hot water tank heats water and keeps it at the right temperature.
