LaVergne’s Plumbing & Heating is encouraging residents throughout the region to prioritize water heater maintenance now to avoid unexpected breakdowns and ensure consistent hot water through the warmer months.
Summer activities such as frequent showers, laundry, and outdoor cleanups place additional strain on water heating systems. When sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank—a common issue in the Pacific Northwest’s mineral-rich water supply—it reduces heating efficiency, limits capacity, and accelerates wear on the unit. Flushing the tank at least once a year helps restore performance and can extend the life of the system.
Thermostat settings should also be reviewed to ensure safe and efficient operation. A water heater set too high can waste energy and pose a scalding risk, while a setting that’s too low may result in lukewarm water during peak usage times. An inspection of the pressure relief valve is also essential, as this safety component helps prevent tank overpressure and potential system failure.
Regular maintenance not only improves performance but also helps identify early signs of corrosion, leaks, or component failure before they become costly issues. Homeowners in Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, and Ferndale can benefit from professional tune-ups to keep their systems running efficiently all season long.
LaVergne’s Plumbing & Heating provides water heater maintenance, repair, and replacement services across Northwest Washington, helping local households stay comfortable and prepared as summer demand increases.
