Protect Your Comfort and Efficiency This Fall by Flushing Your Water Heater

The chilly fall weather is setting in and soon your heating system will be cranking. But what about your water heater and humidifier? They work just as hard and play just as big of a role in ensuring your family’s comfort all winter long. However, they are often overlooked when it comes to tune ups and maintenance.

Fall is a great time to flush your water heater, not only to increase efficiency but to prevent unexpected breakdowns. Here at Warm or Breezy Heating & Cooling, we have a great deal going on right now with our seasonal maintenance package for just $199. You get:

  • Furnace tune-up
  • Humidifier cleaning and pad replacement
  • Hot water tank flush

Today we’ll talk about why you need these services this fall, and how they work together to protect your home, comfort, and energy bill.

The Importance of Flushing Your Water Heater

Your water heater works overtime in colder months as a result of the drop in incoming water temperatures. Especially if you have hard water in your home, mineral sediment settles at the bottom of your tank over time, potentially causing:

  • Lower efficiency – Sediment buildup forces your system to work harder and use up more energy.
  • Shorter lifespan – Overheating and tank failure can result from unmaintained tanks.
  • Noisy operation – Sediment can lead to noisy crackling or popping sounds.
  • Poor water quality – Unmaintained tanks can result in rust, cloudy water, or foul odors.

When you flush your hot water heater at least once a year, this sediment is removed and you can enjoy better performance out of your tank.

Prevent Breakdowns With Regular Furnace Tune-Ups

A seasonal furnace tune-up doesn’t just keep you and your family warm, it ensures safety and keeps costs down. Furnace tune-ups by a professional HVAC contractor in Harper Woods can lead to:

  • Improved energy efficiency – Clean burners and well-maintained components result in smooth operation with less energy waste.
  • Extended equipment life – Regular maintenance reduces wear and tear over time.
  • Fewer surprise repairs – Detecting and addressing minor issues now can prevent them from escalating into costly and invasive repairs later.
  • Better indoor air quality – Clean systems minimize dust and allergens that could potentially circulate through your home.
  • Peace of mind – Safety checks for heat exchangers and carbon monoxide levels keep your family safe and protected.

Humidifier Cleaning and Pad Replacement = Healthier Air

Once you start using your heating system this fall, the air in your home will start to dry out. This can lead to:

  • Increased risk of respiratory illness and allergy symptoms
  • Dry skin and sinuses
  • Static electricity
  • Warped wood floors and furniture

Humidifiers efficiently add moisture back into the air to keep humidity levels in check. If not regularly checked and clean, though, they can become clogged with mineral deposits and fail to work properly. In the worst case scenario, your humidifier could become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

Seasonal humidifier service involves a comprehensive cleaning of the unit, as well as replacement of the humidifier pad, which is responsible for trapping minerals and controlling moisture.
